This is the debut EP from US death metallers Deathcrown.
Raw, nasty, old-school death metal with a Swedish-styled delivery, plenty of groove, lightning solos and a modern freshness? Yes please!
The above description is all you need to know in many ways, but don’t make the mistake of dismissing Deathcrown as just another Swedish death metal clone, that would be a a grave injustice.
Sure, they play the style with Continue reading “Deathcrown – Living Hell (Review)”
Hailing from Sweden, this is the third album from death metallers Decomposed.
The band’s 2014 album Devouring was hugely enjoyable. Firmly rooted in old-school Swedish death metal, it delivered 36 minutes of very satisfyingly crushing music.
Fast forward to 2016, and we have Wither; 38 minutes of the same kind of crushing, satisfying death metal. Continue reading “Decomposed – Wither (Review)”
This is the third album from one-man death metal act Fetal Autopsy.
One-man death metal is a lot less common than one-man black metal is. This is a not a comment that really has any relevance to this review, I suppose, but there we are.

This is the seventh album from Throneum, a Polish death metal band.
This is ugly, raw death metal, produced by a band that have amassed a huge back catalog. Although quantity does not necessarily equate to quality, at this stage Throneum have been doing this long enough to know their way around the crypt they inhabit. Continue reading “Throneum – Morbid Death Tales (Review)”
In Obscurity Revealed are a blackened death metal band from Mexico and this is their debut EP.
Something about the cover of this release just made it impossible to pass over for review; as soon as I saw it I knew I had to listen to it and write words about it.
So here we are.
So what’s all this about then, I hear you ask? Continue reading “In Obscurity Revealed – Grim Fumes of Revelation (Review)”
