This is the debut EP from Italian death metallers Krypta.
This is a short and enjoyable EP that’s inspired by the Swedish style. At just under 18 minutes in length, it’s long enough to get your teeth into, but short enough to leave you wanting more. Continue reading “Krypta – In Torment (Review)”
This is Deny the Urge’s third album. They’re from Germany and play death metal.
Deny the Urge’s debut album Subsequent Confrontation was a real underground gem of an album, but now, well over a decade later, it’s like listening to a different band. Which is understandable when you take a look at the Continue reading “Deny the Urge – As Darkness Falls (Review)”
This is the third album from US death metallers Soul Remnants.
Ouroboros is the follow up to the crushingly enjoyable pitch-black slab of metal that was the band’s 2013 album Black and Blood, which made it into my best of 2013 end of year list. Continue reading “Soul Remnants – Ouroboros (Review)”
Decapitated are a Polish death metal band and this is their seventh album.
I’ve always really enjoyed Decapitated’s work, and this latest album is no exception, despite the band being quite a different proposition to the one that produced albums that were techdeath stunners like The Negation. Continue reading “Decapitated – Anticult (Review)”

Origin play technical/brutal death metal that’s ultra-controlled, while also somehow seemingly a pure explosion of chaos and frenzy. Continue reading “Origin – Unparalleled Universe (Review)”
This is the fourth album by Execration, a Norwegian death metal band.
I’m a huge fan of Execration’s third album Morbid Dimensions, and it even made the number two slot on my best of 2014 end of year list, so stuffed full of technical/progressive death metal goodness was it. Continue reading “Execration – Return to the Void (Review)”
Aborted are a death metal band from Belgium and this is their latest EP.
Full disclosure – Aborted are one of my favourite death metal bands. So there’s that. Continue reading “Aborted – Bathos (Review)”
This is the second album from Scalpel, a death metal band from the US.
We haven’t heard much from Scalpel since 2013’s Sorrow and Skin. This was one of the earliest reviews I ever did, (as you can probably gather by reading it), so the band have always stuck in my mind. It’s great to catch up with them almost four years later. My, where does the time go? Continue reading “Scalpel – Methods to Delusion (Review)”
Unseen Faith are a deathcore band from Denmark and this is their debut album.
This is deathcore that’s brutal and dark, but not without melodic or atmospheric elements that help save the band from one-dimensional obscurity. Continue reading “Unseen Faith – Waver (Review)”
