This is the third album from Pighead, a death metal band from Germany.
Featuring members of Intravenous Contamination, this is brutal death metal that somewhat combines the USDM style, (Suffocation, Deeds of Flesh, Dying Fetus), with a touch of an Aborted flavour in places. It’s brutal, it slams, and it’s a jolly good listen. Continue reading “Pighead – Until All Flesh Decays (Review)”
This is the latest EP from Boreworm, a progressive death metal band from the US.
Sometimes you just know you have to review a release that you come across purely due to the album artwork alone; this is one such release. The cover just grabbed my attention straight away, so I knew I had to listen and absorb the musical contents as soon as I could. Continue reading “Boreworm – Entomophobia (Review)”
This is the second album from Infecting the Swarm, a one man brutal death metal project from Germany.
2014’s Pathogenesis was somewhat of a highlight for me in the brutal death metal genre, despite it somehow escaping me at the time that it was by a one-man band, (not that this really matters, it just makes it that little bit more impressive). Continue reading “Infecting the Swarm – Abyss (Review)”
Ophidian Spell are a symphonic/melodic death metal band from France and this is their debut album.
Combining aspects of melodic, progressive and symphonic death metal into their delivery, Ophidian Spell offer up the listener a modern blend of these various influences. I can hear aspects of The Faceless, Devin Townsend, In Flames, Emperor/Ihsahn, Ne Obliviscaris, Delain and Septic Flesh in the mix, along with some others. Continue reading “Ophidian Spell – Nux/Hêmera (Review)”
This is the third album from this Indonesian death metal band.
Here we have a 30 minute feast of underground, ugly brutality inspired by the classic USDM sound. This is for fans of Suffocation, Deeds of Flesh, Dying Fetus, Origin and the like. Grausig pay homage to their heroes across this relatively short album by playing their death metal as brutally as they can. Continue reading “Grausig – Di Belakang Garis Musuh (Review)”
Ulcerate are a death metal band from New Zealand and this is their fifth album.
Ulcerate personify atypical progressive/technical death metal. They incorporate enough other styles and influences to be termed post-death metal in some respects, although they still have the requisite amount of aggression Continue reading “Ulcerate – Shrines of Paralysis (Review)”
Cognitive are from the US and play technical death metal. This is their second album.

Sepulchral Curse are a blackened death metal band from Finland. This is their second EP.
Do you fancy a bit of old-school death metal that’s been infested with a Scandinavian black metal influence? Well, you’ve come to the right place!
With a firm, strong sound that avoids Continue reading “Sepulchral Curse – At the Onset of Extinction (Review)”
Serpentine Dominion are a US death metal band. This is their debut album.
Featuring current and ex-members of Cannibal Corpse, Killswitch Engage and The Black Dahlia Murder, this was only ever going to be good at the very least.
Well, it’s even better than that. Continue reading “Serpentine Dominion – Serpentine Dominion (Review)”
