Septic Flesh are a symphonic death metal band from Greece and this is their tenth album.
A new release from Septic Flesh is always something to get a lot more excited about than that of your average band. Make no mistake either; this is definitely worth getting excited about.
Here’s a band that seems to be going from strength to strength for the last decade or so, and Codex Omega is another top-quality addition to their discography. Continue reading “Septic Flesh – Codex Omega (Review)”
This is the second album from Devangelic, an Italian death metal band.
The follow up to 2014’s barbaric Resurrection Denied, Devangelic have once again created a raging monster of USDM-influenced brutal death metal. Continue reading “Devangelic – Phlegethon (Review)”
Nephren-Ka are a French death metal band and this is their second album.
Ooooh, now this is one I’ve been eagerly waiting for. Nephren-Ka’s debut album The Fall of Omnius was a fantastic record, one that ended up being the number one pick for my best of 2013 end of year list. Its follow up is well overdue, but now it’s finally here. Continue reading “Nephren-Ka – La Grande Guerre de L’Epice (Review)”
Dying are a Spanish death metal band and this is their second album.
Dying play brutal death metal without compromise of mercy. For fans of Internal Bleeding, Dying Fetus, etc. Continue reading “Dying – No Mercy for Us (Review)”
Wardomized are a UK death/thrash metal band and this is their second EP.
From the moment the EP starts you’re left with no doubt about the old-school pedigree of Wardomized. They seem to have instantly managed to nail down a sound that’s been torn from the 80s, both from a recording point of view and also a stylistic one. Continue reading “Wardomized – Red Death (Flows Through My Veins) (Review)”
This is the fourth album from Germany’s Arroganz, a black/death metal band.
My last encounter with Arroganz was their previous 2014 album Tod & Teufel, and now they have returned with a new slab of dark music, but one that has seen the band undergo a blackened metamorphosis of sorts. Continue reading “Arroganz – Primitiv (Review)”
This is the debut album from Antiversum, a blackened death metal band from Switzerland.
Okay, so I’ve tentatively labelled this as blackened death metal simply for ease of description in the introduction, but the reality is that this is more of a black/death/doom hybrid. It all sits under a suitably blackened and grim aegis though, powered by a vicious death metal intensity. Continue reading “Antiversum – Cosmos Comedenti (Review)”
Horrified are a UK death metal band and this is their third album.
The progression from Horrified’s old-school death metal debut album Descent into Putridity and their sleeker melodic death metal incarnation on last year’s Of Despair was both marked and accomplished. Continue reading “Horrified – Allure of the Fallen (Review)”
Catalyst are a French death metal band and this is their debut EP.
Catalyst are a death metal band that mix in elements of thrash, progressive, atmospheric, and modern metal into their music. Continue reading “Catalyst – Dawn of a Dreadful Fate (Review)”
Dyscarnate are a UK death metal band and this is their third album.
Dyscarnate play heavy, modern, aggressive death metal. With All Their Might in general can probably be described in a cursory fashion as a mix of Deicide, Job for a Cowboy, Kataklysm, and Decapitated, although this is only a starting point and there’s a lot more to this album than this might lead you to believe. Continue reading “Dyscarnate – With All Their Might (Review)”
