This is the second album from Korpse, who are a death metal band from the Netherlands.
This is brutal death metal with a hearty slam component. The band have a powerful sound and really go for the kill.
Heavy riffs rain heavily like a downpour as the band do their absolute best to flatten you. Blast beats and pounding drums make for brutal companions as the band savagely try to attack everything in sight. Continue reading “Korpse – Unethical (Review)”
This is the début album from Tides of Sulfur, a death/sludge metal band from the UK.
Like The Dead, Tides of Sulfur combine death and sludge metal together into a hideous, swampy mass. Also like The Dead, it’s hard to know whether to categorise them as death metal or sludge metal. Essentially it doesn’t really matter, I suppose, as the band manage to provide a pretty good synthesis of the two on Extinction Curse.
This is heavy, heavy, heavy. Continue reading “Tides of Sulfur – Extinction Curse (Review)”
Temple Nightside are a blackened death metal band from Australia and this is their second album.
The first thing that attracted me to this album was the cover. Mysterious and ominous; the music naturally follows from this too. Also like the cover, the music is quite terrifying when you stop, really pay attention to it and let its dark atmospheres seep into you.
This is music that reeks of the bestial underground; the region that’s inhabited by Continue reading “Temple Nightside – The Hecatomb (Review)”
This is the début EP from this Indian blackened death metal band.
Think of bands like Behemoth and Belphegor – bands that combine the brutality of death metal with the occult malevolence of black metal. This is the world that Nogrod inhabit.
This is either black metal with a death metal influence, or blackened death metal, depending Continue reading “Nogrod – Abstruce Dismal (Review)”
This is the sixth album from Revocation, a US death/thrash metal band.
Revocation have been steadily building a solid reputation for themselves over the years, and when you look at their latest release it’s easy to see why.
Here we have a band that combines death metal, thrash metal, technicality and even a bit of Continue reading “Revocation – Great Is Our Sin (Review)”
This is the third album from this Brazlian death metal band.
This is death metal with its roots in the 90s scene, both in style and production. In fact, the recording on Indescribable Physiognomy of the Devil has a brutal charm all of its own. When combined with the music itself, this adds up to a pretty nice sounding album.
This may be of the old-school, but in other ways Continue reading “Coldblood – Indescribable Physiognomy of the Devil (Review)”
Hellsworn are a death metal band from the UK. This is their debut EP from a few years ago, re-released with a bonus track.
This may be from the UK, but it has SWEDISH DEATH METAL stamped all over it in giant, ugly letters. It’s raw, filthy and has enough chainsaws to keep any fan of the style happy.
Yes, yes, I know; do we really need another band playing this kind of thing? Well, as I sit here listening to it at the moment, I can only conclude that we do, as they’re currently Continue reading “Hellsworn – Repulsive Existence (Review)”
This is the début EP from Crematory Stench, who are a US death metal band.
Here we have a brief 12 minutes of morbid old-school death metal. There’s no messing around here, just atavistic, brutal, ugly music.
The songs are Continue reading “Crematory Stench – Crematory Stench (Review)”
Carnifliate are a Slovenian death metal band and this is their début album.
Carnifliate play death metal with a bit of deathgrind and a sizeable chunk of huge grooves.
The songs are brutal and straight to the point, but they’re probably not quite what you Continue reading “Carnifliate – Slaughterlust (Review)”
Morthus are an old-school blackened death metal band from Poland. This is their début album.
Now this is quite exciting. I’ve been looking forward to hearing something more from this band ever since their début EP The Abyss arrived in 2014 and floored me with its combination of death, black and classic metal. Continue reading “Morthus – Over the Dying Stars (Review)”
