This is the fourth album by this Spanish blackened death metal band.
It seems like their previous album, Exilium, was only released last year, but no; it was actually 2014. So here we are now, with another 46 minutes of their dark and malevolent brand of blackened death.
First off, let’s state the obvious – Haeresis is the sound of a confident and professional band at the height of their game. This is blatantly apparent from the start. Continue reading “Noctem – Haeresis (Review)”
This is the third album from US experimental blackened death metallers Veilburner.
Veilburner have produced a monster of an album. This is 60 minutes of blackened death metal, filtered through a corrupted lens of experimental dissonance and pseudo-industrial undertones.
In a way it’s difficult to separate the disparate influences at play in Continue reading “Veilburner – The Obscene Rite (Review)”
Morte are a blackened death metal band from Poland and this is their debut album.
Boasting a nice solid sound, Morte deliver 37 minutes of metal that combines elements of both death and black metal.

This is the debut EP from Nowegian melodic death metal band Faustian Dripfeed.
You never quite know what you’re going to get when something is described as melodic death metal, as frequently it ends up being something that has little or no actual death metal content. Well, this is certainly not the case with Faustian Dripfeed. Continue reading “Faustian Dripfeed – Between This and Death (Review)”
This is the debut album from Our Place of Worship Is Silence, a blackened death metal band from the US.
Oooh this is ugly, underground stuff that’s as raw and hurtful as having your face shaved off with a blunt razor.
If you take a seething, furious death metal base and pour corrupted blackened hatred all over it, you’ll have a good idea of where Our Place of Worship Is Silence’s proclivities lie. Continue reading “Our Place of Worship Is Silence – The Embodiment of Hate (Review)”
Brutally Deceased are from the Czech Republic and play death metal, this is their third album.
The band features members and ex-members of Heaving Earth and Jig-Ai, it seems. I really, really enjoyed the band’s debut album, Dead Lovers’ Guide, but missed their second, so on this new release it’s way overdue for me to get reacquainted with the band. Continue reading “Brutally Deceased – Satanic Corpse (Review)”
Mercyless are a French death metal band and this is their sixth album.
This is a band that have been around for quite some time at this point, and you’d better believe they know a thing or two about their killing art.
Last year’s split with Crusher was a solid example of their riff-led, ferocious style, and acted as somewhat of a taster for this new album. Continue reading “Mercyless – Pathetic Divinity (Review)”
Hailing from The Netherlands, this is the debut EP from this death metal band.
This is a timeless brand of death metal that has elements from several different eras in its makeup. The songs have a good degree of catchiness and hooks, and this is juxtaposed against the raw brutality that the band also bring to the melting pot of influences that they clearly have.
The singer has an absolutely brutal voice that’s all guttural Continue reading “Sisters of Suffocation – Brutal Queen (Review)”
This is the second album from Turkish death metal band Carnophage.
Sitting and writing this on a lazy Sunday morning, I’m listening to Monument again and it’s like a force of nature is rushing out of the speakers into my ears, engaging my brain and waking me up like it’s slapping me in the face over and over again.
Yeah, I still feel tired, but now I’m awake-tired. I’m sure you can relate. Continue reading “Carnophage – Monument (Review)”
