Heads for the Dead – The Great Conjuration (Transcending Obscurity)

This international group hit the horror market hard with their rampant third release of gnarly death metal. The band consist of members of Revel In Flesh, Wombbath, Massacre and Sentient Horror to name but a few, so by the bands… Continue Reading →

Morbid Evils – Supernaturals (Transcending Obscurity)

It’s five years since I gave “Deceases” a 9 out of 10 review on this very site. In Covid Years that is no time at all. So here are the crushing Finns back once again to drop the heavy on the world. In case you don’t know… Continue Reading →

Abaddon Incarnate – The Wretched Sermon (Transcending Obscurity)

It’s kind of odd. I don’t really understand why Irish outliers Abaddon Incarnate don’t seem to get as much love as they clearly deserve. But with five albums since 1994 I think it’s safe to say that they fit the… Continue Reading →

Ernia – How To Deal With Life And Fail (Transcending Obscurity)

Spanish Grindcore outfit Ernia are a five piece who are trying to do things their own way instead of sticking to the usual stylings in how to write grindcore, a genre which is pretty much known for being intense, fast… Continue Reading →

Defect Designer – Neanderthal (Transcending Obscurity)

Seventeen minutes of deathgrind. I did think of trying to keep this review to seventeen lines or writing it in seventeen minutes to show the same level of discipline but, alas I’m old and slow. The title track opens it… Continue Reading →

Paganizer – Beyond The Macabre (Transcending Obscurity)

Four-piece deathmongers Paganizer seem to have been around for eternity and whilst the band has existed under this moniker since about 1999 it feels like they have been around since death metal emerged in the mid-80s. However, one thing is… Continue Reading →

DFC – Decadent Perversity (Transcending Obscurity)

Australia has a reputation of sorts of being brutal, be it the fact everything on the continent is trying to actively kill you in some way and its people have a rather blunt sense of humour which pulls no punches…. Continue Reading →

Sisyphean – Colours of Faith (Transcending Obscurity)

This is the second album from this Lithuanian band, following “Illusions of Eternity” in 2017. They describe their black metal as “dissonant”. Well that’s one word for it. I was surprised to hear a dark industrial electronic beat to begin,… Continue Reading →

Morgue Supplier – Inevitability (Transcending Obscurity)

Having musically overdosed by the pharmaceutically enhanced Drug Honkey I noted that 2 members of that particular group are helping line up the drawers in the autopsy room as Morgue Supplier. In actual fact the roots of this group go… Continue Reading →

Dischordia – Triptych (Transcending Obscurity)

With a couple of albums and a few EPs already out this third album by US band Dischordia is likely to divide the technical death metal world, purely because the album is so off the wall that describing it with… Continue Reading →

Viande – L’Abime Dévore Les Âmes (Transcending Obscurity)

You know how it is when you get French extreme metal to listen to and review… expect the unexpected! This debut full length follows a demo and EP out in 2015 and 2017 respectively and whilst I have not heard… Continue Reading →

As The World Dies – Agonist (Transcending Obscurity)

The quality control at Transcending Obscurity continues to be of high value, as we come to this first album from Birmingham’s progressive death metallers, “As the World Dies”. Certainly, lead guitarist Scott Fairfax is going to be a familiar name… Continue Reading →
