Hellfrost and Fire – Fire, Frost and Hell (Transcending Obscurity)

Hey! You! Do you like Celtic Frost? No, not the modern Tom G. Warrior in a beany hat doom stuff, but the old, old stuff? You know, the “URGH”-laden Morbid Tales of yore, before the synthesisers, Mexican Radios and all… Continue Reading →

Godless Truth – S/T (Transcending Obscurity)

It’s good to see Czech band Godless Truth back like an old friend. Some years ago I saw them play somewhere in North London, possibly supporting Vomit Remnants at that pub at Archway, and liked their brutal style so much… Continue Reading →

The Last Of Lucy – Moksha (Transcending Obscurity)

My love for Tech Death has certainly dwindled in the last year or so, I still love the genre but I don’t care about it like I once did. I’m basically far more critical of the genre now. However, this… Continue Reading →

Vorga – Striving Toward Oblivion (Transcending Obscurity)

The release rate by India’s Transcending Obscurity is staggering to say the least and whilst you would expect the odd duff release here and there, there is a consistency that few extreme metal labels can compare to, and coupled to… Continue Reading →

Wombbath – Agma (Transcending Obscurity Records)

Quite possibly one of the most underrated and overlooked death metal bands of the last 30 years, Sweden’s Wombbath may have a moniker conjuring up images of sonic rancidity but they offer so much more than that, indeed their latest… Continue Reading →

Vahrzaw – The Trembling Voices of Conquered Men (Transcending Obscurity)

This band from Australia has been doing its multi metal thing since the early 1990s. This album is their fourth full release. After a harmless opener, it’s down to business with the darkest kind of death metal you could wish… Continue Reading →

Cutterred Flesh – Sharing is Caring (Transcending Obscurity)

There’s nothing that will get you out of bed quicker than a lovely dollop of death metal on a Wednesday morning, but rather than provide a shining beacon of light into what can be best described as a shithole of… Continue Reading →

Abscession – Rot of Ages (Transcending Obscurity)

I’ve been having a discussion with my son. Stay with me on this, it will have relevance! He’s been playing the “Shadow of War” game on the Xbox. “I like it – I mean, it’s got loads of flaws, and… Continue Reading →

Monument Of Misanthropy – Unterweger (Transcending Obscurity)

Both the last album, ‘Anger Mismanagement’ and their last release, an EP titled ‘Capital Punisher’ were textbook demonstrations in clinical pummelling death metal with a slight tech edging. There has been a wholesale change in the line-up for the band… Continue Reading →

Heads For The Dead – Slash ‘n Roll (Transcending Obscurity)

International death metal outfit (UK, Germany, Netherlands) have released two previous full lengths of horror based metal but this here short sharp EP I guess is a happy little Halloween film tie in which I got to a little late…. Continue Reading →

Bizarre – Invocation Codex (Transcending Obscurity)

Once again, this Indian label has picked up an exceptional death metal band to add to their roster, alongside their unique products that they always unveil for each of their releases. This Spanish bands rather innocuous moniker does not do… Continue Reading →

Noltem – Illusions In The Wake (Transcending Obscurity)

When it comes to atmospheric black metal, you will not go far wrong with this latest offering from a trio from across the pond. Noltem have been in existence since 2003, apart from a break between 2007 and 2015, and… Continue Reading →
