This is the sixth album from Vanhelgd, a death metal band from Sweden.
I got quite excited when I saw Vanhelgd’s newest appear; it’s been a long six years since 2018’s Deimos Sanktuarium after all. That record even made it onto that year’s year end list, as did its predecessor Temple of Phobos in 2016. 2014’s Relics of Sulphur Salvation didn’t, but probably should have somewhere.

This is the third album from US death metal band Obscene.
I enjoyed 2020’s The Inhabitable Dark and 2022’s …From Dead Horizon to Dead Horizon, so knew that Agony & Wounds was destined for my earholes. Obscene vomit forth 42 new minutes of material on this new platter, and if you liked their earlier stuff, then you should very much like this too. Continue reading “Obscene – Agony & Wounds (Review)”
Wormed are a Spanish death metal band and this is their fourth album.
A new Wormed album – their first in eight years – is a cause for celebration. Join me then for a 4-minute journey into cosmic madness and chaos, as Wormed unleash multidimensional Hell on the monstrously formidable Omegon. Continue reading “Wormed – Omegon (Review)”
This is the second album from Sijjeel, a death metal band from Saudi Arabia.
Returning to dish out more punishment after 2022’s brutal Salvation Within Insanity, Sijjeel are back with an even bigger hammer to smash in your ungrateful face with. Yep, it’s time for another slab of crushing death metal, so prepare to get smushed. Continue reading “Sijjeel – Affiliation of Horrid Containment (Review)”
Noxis are a death metal band from the US and this is their debut album.
Violence Inherent in the System contains 49 minutes, (with the bonus track), of mayhem. While it’s on the longer side for a death metal album, the quantity is backed up by the quality. Continue reading “Noxis – Violence Inherent in the System (Review)”
This is the fourth album form Spanish death metallers Aposento.
I enjoyed 2014’s Aposento and 2017’s Bleed to Death, although I missed 2020’s Conjuring the New Apocalypse. Aposento are now back, with an almost entirely new lineup, and 34 minutes of music in the form of the muscular No Safe Haven. Continue reading “Aposento – No Safe Haven (Review)”
This is the second album from US death metallers 200 Stab Wounds.
With a name like 200 Stab Wounds, you know this is going to be brutal, and if you weren’t sure, then the album cover would surely confirm it. Manual Manic Procedures contains 29 minutes of bloodthirsty cruelty, and if you’re a death metal fan then it’s an easy album to enjoy getting punched around by. Continue reading “200 Stab Wounds – Manual Manic Procedures (Review)”
Spawned from Hate are a UK death metal band and this is the debut album.
So here we are then, the long overdue first album from Spawned from Hate. I enjoyed 2015’s EP Accelerated Butchery, as well as their 2018 promo, but then…the slaughterhouse went silent.
No longer. Continue reading “Spawned from Hate – Elective Amputation (Review)”
This is the third album from US death metal band Construct of Lethe.
Construct of Lethe’s last album Exiler came out in 2018, and was a brutal affair of merciless death metal. The band have moved on since then, and A Kindness Dealt in Venom offers up a mix of death and black metal, with touches of doom, and further enriched by electronics, synths, and industrial elements. Its foundation is a death metal one, but it’s not limited to purely this genre. Continue reading “Construct of Lethe – A Kindness Dealt in Venom (Review)”
This is the third album from Hyperdontia, an international death metal band.
Harvest of Malevolence is the 40-minute follow up to 2021’s very enjoyable Hideous Entity, which made it onto my end of year list. Hyperdontia seem to just be getting better and better, and Harvest of Malevolence is another win for this skilled death metal act. Continue reading “Hyperdontia – Harvest of Malevolence (Review)”
