Lik are a Swedish death metal band and this is their fourth album.
Following on from 2018’s Carnage and 2020’s Misanthropic Breed comes another slab of Swedish death metal carnage from the ever-dependable Lik. Necro is a solid 41-minute slab of heaviness. Continue reading “Lik – Necro (Review)”
Rothadás are a death/doom band from Hungary and this is their second album.
Töviskert… a Kísértés Örök Érzete… Lidércharang almost passed me by, but I heard enough underground buzz about it that I had to check it out. I’m glad I did, as Rothadás have produced a monstrous slab of doom-inflused death metal. Continue reading “Rothadás – Töviskert… a Kísértés Örök Érzete… Lidércharang (Review)”
This is the fourth album by Polish death metallers Dormant Ordeal.
2021’s The Grand Scheme of Things was a notable slab of death metal heaviness, so I’ve been looking forward to Tooth and Nail. Across 47 minutes Dormant Ordeal once again showcase their expressive brand of Polish death metal. Continue reading “Dormant Ordeal – Tooth and Nail (Review)”
This is the fifth album from German death metallers Cytotoxin.
2020’s Nuklearth was a very good album, so it’s great to have Cytotoxin back once more. Containing 48 minutes of new material, Biographyte offers a radioactive feast of death metal for us to savour and enjoy. It’s the band’s longest album, but fear not, Cytotoxin know what they’re doing. Continue reading “Cytotoxin – Biographyte (Review)”
This is the seventh album from US death metallers Allegaeon.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all of the Allegaeon albums I’ve heard, (2016’s Proponent for Sentience, 2019’s Apoptosis, and 2022’s Damnum), and each has been better than the last. Now Allegaeon are back with the 46-minute The Ossuary Lens, (their shortest album so far), and have changed singer, with their their original vocalist returning to the fold. Let’s see what they have to offer us this time around. Continue reading “Allegaeon – The Ossuary Lens (Review)”
This is the fourth album from Spanish black/death metal band Teitanblood.
From the Visceral Abyss is a 52-minute tornado of violence and destruction. Teitanblood don’t mess around, and this is a punishing record of black/death metal barbarity that’s unexpectedly moreish. Continue reading “Teitanblood – From the Visceral Abyss (Review)”
This is the second album from Decrepisy, a death metal band from the US.
Brought to us by current/ex-members of bands such as Acephalix, Ascended Dead, Coffin Rot, Necrot, Ritual Necromancy, Vastum, and Voidceremony, Deific Mourning is the 45-minute follow up to 2021’s enjoyable Emetic Communion. Let’s see what this new record is all about then, shall we? Continue reading “Decrepisy – Deific Mourning (Review)”
Corpus Offal are a death metal band from the US and this is their debut album.
I had no idea that Cerebral Rot had split up. If you don’t know them, check out 2019’s Odious Descent into Decay and 2021’s Excretion of Mortality, both very fine slabs of hideous death metal. Why is this relevant here? Because Corpus Offal have arisen from the decayed corpse of Cerebral Rot – the guitarist and guitarist/vocalist have been vomited forth into this new incarnation, and they have brought a new bassist and drummer with them, (the former ex-Demoncy, the latter from Autophagy/Bell Witch). Continue reading “Corpus Offal – Corpus Offal (Review)”
This is the fourth album from Danish deathcore band Cabal.
I really like Cabal, so was well chuffed when Everything Rots appeared on the horizon like a gathering storm. 2020’s Drag Me Down and 2022’s Magno Interitus were both first class examples of deathcore heaviness. The latter showed a progression in the band’s sound too, reducing the blackened influences. What will the 38 minutes of new material on Everything Rots reveal? Continue reading “Cabal – Everything Rots (Review)”
This is the second album from US death metal band Gates to Hell.
Gates to Hell play a form of death metal that’s been injected with hardcore urgency, grindcore intensity, and slamming heaviness. With ten songs in 21 minutes, Death Comes to All wastes little time and gives the listener a brutally good time. Continue reading “Gates to Hell – Death Comes to All (Review)”
