Inbreeding Rednecks – Abnormal Life Portrayed (Mighty Music)

Inbreeding Rednecks sound as though they ought to come from Arkansas, but in fact they’re a group of experienced musicians from Denmark with a passion for old school death metal. This, then, is what we get in copious quantities. Grim… Continue Reading →

Ferocity – The Sovereign (Deepsend)

Denmark has had its fair share of death metal bands over the years, but none of which have really risen to the heights of their Swedish (or even Norwegian, in my opinion) brethren. OK, Invocator were great, as were Iniquity… Continue Reading →

Dehuman Reign – Destructive Intent (FDA Rekotz)

German death metal always holds a special place for me just like German speed metal, it’s pretty unique in its tone and delivery as this. Having formed in 2011 FDA must have thought this band has something others do not… Continue Reading →

Facebreaker – Dedicated to the Flesh (Cyclone Empire)

Out of all the sub-genres of metal, there is one which I will always return to over all others. That, my friends, is the horrible slime-coated buzzsaw attack of the ‘Stockholm sound’. I really am a sucker for it. The… Continue Reading →

Necrotic Disgorgement – Documentaries of Dementia (Comatose Music)

Arghhh, my eyes! Just look at that awful cover art. A grim scene, made even more horrible due to the fact it’s so badly digitally rendered that it just looks unbelievably bad. Had it not have been for the portrayal… Continue Reading →

Aeturnus – …And the Seventh His Soul Detesteth (Dark Essence)

Norwegian overlords, Aeturnus return with a killer album and a new line up. It’s a splendid mix of classic Scandinavian Death Metal with melodic touches and provides a crushingly heavy and dark work for those who still love the classical… Continue Reading →

Nails – Abandon All Life (Southern Lord)

You might be forgiven for thinking that the warm southern Californian climate is an unlikely breeding ground for grindcore. Well, think again. Nails, from this very region and formed in 2007, are grindcore with a capital ‘G’. Having unleashed their… Continue Reading →

Portal – Vexovoid (Profound Lore)

Look at that cover. That is a death metal album cover. Not some gore-grind pathetic rape fantasy, but a “Death Metal Album Cover.” You see that and you expect anvil pounding, brutal as fuck, heavy as Suffocation death metal. And… Continue Reading →

Devourment – Conceived in Sewage (Relapse Records)

Devourment’s 1999 debut album, ‘Molesting the Decapitated’, was one of the more memorable examples of brutal death metal at the turn of the century. Consisting of down-tuned mayhem, slamming tunes, grizzly cover art and some of the fastest snare rolls… Continue Reading →

Torn The Fuck Apart – …The Dissection Of Christ (SR)

With a band name like this and the accompanying album titles plus cover art this US act isn’t out to make friends amongst the religious fraternity that’s for sure, preferring to blaspheme their way through ten tunes of brutal slamming… Continue Reading →

Infected Flesh – Concatenation Of Severe Infections (Comatose Music)

Gross, hideous, diabolical and disgusting are all terms just to describe the art work that adorns this rather delectable and sweet onslaught of brutal death metal from Spain. Cynically I could take one of the countless reviews I’ve done for… Continue Reading →

Offending – Age of Perversion (Deepsend Records)

‘Age of Perversion’ is Offending’s second album, and exhibits a number of French musicians whose backgrounds are predominantly rooted in black metal. Coming from Deepsend though – the same label which recently introduced me to the enjoyable Deadly Remains –… Continue Reading →
