Coma Cluster Void – Mind Cemeteries (Review)

Coma Cluster Void are a death metal band, (of sorts), and this is their debut album. They have an international lineup, with members from Canada, Germany and the US.

This album features not one, but two ex-Cryptopsy singers. You heard that right. To be fair, one of them, (Lord Worm), is only a guest vocalist on a couple of tracks, but still. The other, (Mike DiSalvo), is only one half of the vocal attack, the other half being provided by Continue reading “Coma Cluster Void – Mind Cemeteries (Review)”

Harm – The Evil (Review)

Harm are a German death metal band and this is their second album.

It’s been a few years since Harm’s 2013 debut album Cadaver Christi first landed like a high-explosive shell, and since then we’ve been hungry for more. Well, wait no longer, as Harm are back.

What I like about Harm is how Continue reading “Harm – The Evil (Review)”

Bestial Deform – …Ad Leones (Review)

This is the fifth album from Bestial Deform, a Russian death metal band.

Bestial Deform were created in 1990, so it’s safe to say they have a lot of experience playing death metal. This is their first album since 2005 and features both new songs and older ones that have been re-recorded.

The band play a Continue reading “Bestial Deform – …Ad Leones (Review)”

Banisher – Oniric Delusions (Review)

This is Polish death metal band Banisher’s third album.

I like Banisher, as although they have a core of brutality, they infuse their music with a good deal of technicality and are not afraid to experiment with their sound either, introducing interesting ideas and some progressive elements.

Their last album, Scarcity, was really, really good, and on Oniric Delusions the band take what they did with Continue reading “Banisher – Oniric Delusions (Review)”

Infectology – Innards of Misanthropic Embodiment (Review)

Infectology are a death metal band from Ecuador. This is their second album.

Infectology play brutal death metal that’s relentless and barbaric. The blast beats and guttural vocals never end, save for the odd bouncier section and one instrumental track, (Inhuman Conception). Continue reading “Infectology – Innards of Misanthropic Embodiment (Review)”

Dawn of Demise – The Suffering (Review)

This is the fourth album from Dawn of Demise, a death metal band from Denmark.

Dawn of Demise’s fourth album is the kind of instantly-gratifying hit of death metal that it’s so very easy to like. The album has 37 minutes of prime-time barbarous death metal that’s sure to find fans among all connoisseurs of aural carnage. Continue reading “Dawn of Demise – The Suffering (Review)”

Evil Reborn – Throne of Insanity (Review)

Evil Reborn are a death metal band from Venezuela and this is their debut album.

Ahh, here’s the stuff; 31 minutes of heavy, chunky death metal to help you get through your day. Evil Reborn play a satisfying brand of death metal that sees them visit a few different eras, essentially resulting in some timeless, classic death metal fun for all of the family.

With muscular riffs and deep growling vocals, Throne of Insanity easily makes friends as it clubs them to death with a belligerent snarl. Continue reading “Evil Reborn – Throne of Insanity (Review)”

Atomgott – Apatheia (Review)

This is the debut album from Atomgott, a German death metal band.

Atomgott mix together brutal/slamming death metal and deathcore to give us 29 minutes of huge riffs and heavy aggression.

The band are focused on providing the listener with a combination of speed and groove, both of which they do very effectively. Although there’s elements of the more modern deathcore/slam styles, there’s a good chunk of USDM in here too, recalling Continue reading “Atomgott – Apatheia (Review)”

Urobilinemia – Wriggling Chrysalis of Metaphysical Grudge (Review)

Urobilinemia are a Japanese brutal death metal/deathgrind band. This is combination of their split with 妖神楽 (Ayakasi Kagura) and their debut EP.

Featuring a hard-to-decipher band logo and some quite striking cover artwork, the band make a good impression before you even listen to them. And once you do, all Hell breaks loose.

The songs on this release are short, brutal and technical, just what the evil doctor Continue reading “Urobilinemia – Wriggling Chrysalis of Metaphysical Grudge (Review)”
