Execration – Return to the Void (Review)
This is the fourth album by Execration, a Norwegian death metal band.
I’m a huge fan of Execration’s third album Morbid Dimensions, and it even made the number two slot on my best of 2014 end of year list, so stuffed full of technical/progressive death metal goodness was it. Continue reading “Execration – Return to the Void (Review)”
Aborted – Bathos (Review)

Full disclosure – Aborted are one of my favourite death metal bands. So there’s that. Continue reading “Aborted – Bathos (Review)”
Scalpel – Methods to Delusion (Review)
This is the second album from Scalpel, a death metal band from the US.
We haven’t heard much from Scalpel since 2013’s Sorrow and Skin. This was one of the earliest reviews I ever did, (as you can probably gather by reading it), so the band have always stuck in my mind. It’s great to catch up with them almost four years later. My, where does the time go? Continue reading “Scalpel – Methods to Delusion (Review)”

Dying Fetus – Wrong One to Fuck With (Review)
Dying Fetus are a US death metal institution and this is their eighth album.
Dying Fetus are a band that have never released a bad album. In fact, I’d argue that they have only ever released great albums. Continue reading “Dying Fetus – Wrong One to Fuck With (Review)”
Beyond Grace – Seekers (Review)
This is the debut album from UK death metal act Beyond Grace.
It seems like ages since 2014’s Monstrous was unleashed on the world, showing much promise for the future. Well, that promise has now appeared and coalesced in the form of Seekers. Continue reading “Beyond Grace – Seekers (Review)”
Exist – So True, So Bound (Review)
Exist are a progressive/technical death metal band from the US and this is their second album.
Exist have taken the torch from forerunners such as Atheist, Death, and Cynic, and are truly running with it. This means we get an old-school influenced version of the progressive/technical death metal style, as laid down by the aforementioned masters, despite the modern veneer and sparkling production.
