This is the seventh album from US death metallers Allegaeon.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all of the Allegaeon albums I’ve heard, (2016’s Proponent for Sentience, 2019’s Apoptosis, and 2022’s Damnum), and each has been better than the last. Now Allegaeon are back with the 46-minute The Ossuary Lens, (their shortest album so far), and have changed singer, with their their original vocalist returning to the fold. Let’s see what they have to offer us this time around. Continue reading “Allegaeon – The Ossuary Lens (Review)”
This is the seventh album from UK metal band Bleed from Within.
Despite being aware of Bleed from Within since they began – and I even saw them live I think many, many, many years ago in a support slot somewhere – I had never actually heard them properly before now. Zenith was a good opportunity to change this and see what I’ve been missing out on. Well, what do Bleed from Within have to offer? Continue reading “Bleed from Within – Zenith (Review)”
This is the sixth album from US post-black metal/blackgaze band Deafheaven.
Lonely People with Power contains 62 minutes of music, and finds Deafhaven in masterful form. If you’re familiar with Deafheaven at all, as you hopefully are, this new record is essentially a culmination of everything they have done so far, resulting in an album that’s well-rounded, affecting, and quite brilliant. Continue reading “Deafheaven – Lonely People with Power (Review)”
This is a collaboration between Mizmor and Hell, both solo doom bands from the US.
Alluvion is a 40-minute blackened doom album that consists of four tracks, (two songs). It fuses the talents of both artists into a expressive whole that’s impressively wrought. Mizmor and Hell have produced a strong record, as you would hope given their past work. Continue reading “Mizmor & Hell – Alluvion (Review)”
This is the debut album from US death/doom metallers Ritual Ascension.
Profanation of the Adamic Covenant contains five tracks that spread out over 48 minutes like a virulent plague. Brought to us by members of Aberration, Feral Light, Suffering Hour, and Void Rot, Ritual Ascension deliver unto us unworthy listeners a monstrously abyssal amalgamation of death and doom metal. Continue reading “Ritual Ascension – Profanation of the Adamic Covenant (Review)”
This is the fourth album from Spanish black/death metal band Teitanblood.
From the Visceral Abyss is a 52-minute tornado of violence and destruction. Teitanblood don’t mess around, and this is a punishing record of black/death metal barbarity that’s unexpectedly moreish. Continue reading “Teitanblood – From the Visceral Abyss (Review)”
This is the second album from Decrepisy, a death metal band from the US.
Brought to us by current/ex-members of bands such as Acephalix, Ascended Dead, Coffin Rot, Necrot, Ritual Necromancy, Vastum, and Voidceremony, Deific Mourning is the 45-minute follow up to 2021’s enjoyable Emetic Communion. Let’s see what this new record is all about then, shall we? Continue reading “Decrepisy – Deific Mourning (Review)”
Amenra are a doom/post-metal band from Belgium and these are their latest couple of releases.
Notables Amenra are releasing two new EPs on the same day. Both are different in style and feel. Although I instinctually can’t help but feel a single release would have been better, the reality is that both offer something different, and I definitely have my preference out the two. Continue reading “Amenra – De Toorn/With Fang and Claw (Review)”
Being a fan of Carpathian Forest ever since first getting Strange Old Brew way back in 2000, I knew I wanted to see this show. Black Altar were an added bonus on top. Then, recently, when Wolfbastard were added as opener, it simply meant I was looking forward to it even more. Continue reading “Carpathian Forest/Black Altar/Wolfbastard – Rebellion, Manchester – 18/03/25 (Live Review)”
