Warfuck are a French grindcore band and this is their third album.
Warfuck have an unsubtle name to go along with their unsubtle sound. 23 minutes of blistering grindcore spread across 15 rabid tracks? Why, I don’t mind if I do. Continue reading “Warfuck – This Was Supposed to Be Fun (Review)”
Scumworm are a Spanish grindcore band and this is their latest EP.
Scumworm create a riot of violence that’s influenced by old-school grind, death metal, and punk. This EP is an ugly, belligerent way to spend 10 minutes, but a rather enjoyable one regardless. Continue reading “Scumworm – EP (Review)”

It’s not entirely business as usual, however, as this latest album showcases the more savage, unfriendly side of the band more than some of their other work. Continue reading “At the Gates – To Drink from the Night Itself (Review)”

Coffin Rot are a US death metal band and this is their latest demo.
Coffin Rot play gnarly, ugly old-school death metal, and they do it extremely well. With four tracks across 18 minutes, this is morbid music that’s easy to take a shine too. Continue reading “Coffin Rot – Coffin Rot (Review)”
I like the Swedish death metal sound very much. Very, very much indeed. Which is why I absolutely love the new Lik album, the appropriately-titled Carnage. Full of classic death metal with the right combination of songs and attitude, it’s time to unleash the chainsaws and get cutting.
