Eroded are an Italian death metal band and this is their second album.
Featuring 35 minutes of 90s-styled old-school death metal, Eroded have produced a worthy and enjoyable album here. With war metal influences, (musically, if not thematically), and a Scandinavian veneer, Necropath is Hellishly good fun.
Eskhaton are an Australian death metal band and this is their third album.
Now that’s a death metal album cover. I could look at the artwork for this for ages. Continue reading “Eskhaton – Omegalitheos (Review)”
This is the fourth album from Torn the Fuck Apart, a death metal band from the US.
We know Torn the Fuck Apart from 2014’s Sexually Transmitted Torture, and now the band have returned with 33 minutes of new corpse-fresh material. Continue reading “Torn the Fuck Apart – A Genetic Predisposition to Violence (Review)”
This is the third album from Greek/UK blackened death metal band Demonic Obedience.
On Fatalistic Uprisal of Abhorrent Creation Demonic Obedience offer up 33 minutes of malignant blackened death metal.

Lago are a US death metal band and this is their second album.
I greatly enjoyed both 2014’s Tyranny and 2016’s split with Calm Hatchery, so I’m pleased to be able to catch up with Lago for their newest album Sea of Duress. Continue reading “Lago – Sea of Duress (Review)”
This is the second album from Gutter Instinct, a Swedish death metal band.
Ahh, I love the sound of Swedish death metal crushing its enemies in the morning, (what’s left of it at least – see later). This is especially the case when the style has a malignant blackened sheen to it, as it does with Gutter Instinct’s malevolent output. Having said that, with every release Gutter Instinct change and refine their sound, and this is true of this latest release, as we’ll see. Continue reading “Gutter Instinct – Heirs of Sisyphus (Review)”
Wombbath are a Swedish death metal band and this is their third album.
Ahh, Swedish death metal. You just keep giving and giving and giving, don’t you? It was 2015 when I last encountered Wombbath, with Continue reading “Wombbath – The Great Desolation (Review)”
Ahtme, (formerly The Roman Holiday), are a death metal band from the US and this is their second album.
I like death metal that combines technical playing with devastating riffs, a meaty production, and a singer that can growl with the best of them. Which is why I like Sewerborn very much. Containing a raging concoction of surprisingly charismatic brutality, as you listen to this it becomes quickly apparent that Ahtme know how to write a good song. Continue reading “Ahtme – Sewerborn (Review)”
ISA is a one man death metal project from the US and this is his debut album.
Chimera contains 41 minutes of music that draws from a twisted death metal base, but builds progressive, technical, and psychedelic elements into it. This basic description really doesn’t do this album justice, however. Continue reading “ISA – Chimera (Review)”
Tomb Mold are a Canadian death metal band and this is their second album.
This is an interesting release. Ostensibly old-school death metal that reeks of the underground and has a filthy, ugly delivery, there’s also a firmly atypical and non-standard side to these songs which makes Manor of Infinite Forms definitely stand out from the pack. Continue reading “Tomb Mold – Manor of Infinite Forms (Review)”
