Human Beansauce – Baculum (SR)

I listened to a sample of what was a three minute extract of “Lost Fulcrum”, the first track on this album. I was attracted to the deep and chunky six string bass sound and wanted to hear more. Human Beansauce… Continue Reading →

Banisher – Scarcity (Unquiet Records)

Banisher are a technical death metal band hailing from Rzeszow in Poland. They’ve been kicking around since 2005 but only released their debut album, ‘Slaughterhouse’, in 2010. This is a very dynamic, relentless album, faster & more intense than their… Continue Reading →

Mindtech – Elements of Warfare (Tritech Music)

Mindtech is such a template name for a technical progressive metal band that I’m amazed it hasn’t been used before. This band from Norway follows that template with this collection of meaty progressive songs. For sure the production of “Elements… Continue Reading →

Pestilence – Obsideo (Candlelight)

The last new album I heard by Dutch death progenitors Pestilence was their 2009 comeback ‘Resurrection Macabre’. While a cool effort, it came nowhere near to the quality of the band’s early releases. On top of this material aspect, there… Continue Reading →

Interview – Hybris

The sound of ‘Heavy Machinery’ is coming and if you like a mix of technical thrash it’s a sound to embrace before it steamrollers over and flattens you. Although a band you may not have heard of the UK based… Continue Reading →

Hybris – Heavy Machinery (Candlelight)

Forming in 2010, Hybris already have quite the pedigree in the UK metal scene. This is due to the fact their members consist of former members of sludge monsters Centurions Ghost, a former member from classic heavy metal crew Stuka… Continue Reading →

Dark Design – Prey for the Future (Heaven and Hell)

Technical power thrash sounds a decent combination. The final ingredient is the way it’s mixed. The truth is that I’m struggling to find anything good to say about this album. The second track “Dark Design” sets the scene after an… Continue Reading →

Fleshgod Apocalypse – Labyrinth (Nuclear Blast)

The fact is, there is no-one quite like Fleshgod Apocalypse. This creative bunch of Italian maniacs have successfully created `symphonic brutal death metal’. Chances are, many a spotty teen has dreamt of such a grandiose idea since the inception and… Continue Reading →

The New Dominion – Procreating the Undivine (SR)

These Dutch deathsters have been going for some seven years now, give or take the odd hiatus. Featuring ex-Pestilence drummer Yuma van Eekelen and guest appearances from an ex-Cynic member, along with Prostitute Disfigurement’s Niels Adams, all signs are good…. Continue Reading →

Atrocity – Okkult (Napalm)

You’ve got to admire Atrocity for being totally un-taggable! You can’t pigeon-hole Atrocity…usually because the band themselves don’t really know what particular genre their next album will be! They’ve given us albums in the style of Death/Industrial/Gothic/Technical Death/Folk/Dark…you get the… Continue Reading →

Ad Patres – Scorn Aesthetics (Kaotoxin Records)

Ad Patres is the brainchild of Alsvid, a man who many black metal experts are sure to recognise from such bands as Seth, Enthroned and <CODE>. Flying in the face of expectation, this new creation is a concertedly death metal… Continue Reading →
