This is the debut album from Danish death metal band Neckbreakker.
Within the Viscera contains 46 minutes of music for fans of pit-friendly heaviness. Neckbreakker’s style is a death metal one that has a healthy dollop of groove metal and hardcore thrown in for good measure, all with the aim of getting people moving. It works too.

Rotpit are an international, (German/Sweden), death metal band and this is their second album.
Alright then squidgy humans, it’s time to enter the Rotpit! Your tormentors on this filthy disgusting tour of depravity are none other than members of Heads for the Dead, Ursinne, Wombbath, and many, many others. Yes, these miscreants know how to play DEATH METAL, so your soft fragile forms are in good, calloused, bloodied hands. Continue reading “Rotpit – Long Live the Rot (Review)”
This is the second album from UK death metallers Iniquitous Savagery.
Containing a current/ex-member of Laceration, Party Cannon, and Gendo Ikari, Iniquitous Savagery play brutal death metal. It’s been a long time since 2015’s Subversions of the Psyche, but now the band are back – with a new singer – to cause carnage and mayhem with 31 minutes of new material. Continue reading “Iniquitous Savagery – Edifice of Vicissitudes (Review)”
This is the fourth album from Distant, a deathcore band from the Netherlands.
I always enjoy catching up with Distant. Their brand of downtempo deathcore heaviness has always stood out as better than the norm, (check out Tyrannotophia, Dawn of Corruption, Dusk of Anguish, and Heritage), so I knew I had to check out Tsukuyomi: The Origin. Continue reading “Distant – Tsukuyomi: The Origin (Review)”
This is the seventh album from German death metallers Defeated Sanity.
When it comes to brutal technicality, I think it is fair to say that Defeated Sanity are legends in death metal. Their music is mercilessly brutal, yet boasts a jazz-influenced technical delivery and a progressive edge that’s absorbing. Although an appropriate description of the band’s output, it also doesn’t do the music full justice. Besides this, each of Defeated Sanity’s albums have their own flavour and character too.

Mammoth Grinder are a death metal band from the US and this is their latest EP.
It has been a long six years since 2018’s Cosmic Crypt, but Mammoth Grinder have once again dragged themselves out from their tombs and are ready to lay waste once more. Bringing with them 14 minutes of new music in the form of Undying Spectral Resonance, Mammoth Grinder’s reappearance is brief, but impactful. Continue reading “Mammoth Grinder – Undying Spectral Resonance (Review)”
This is the latest EP from Beyond Grace, a death metal band from the UK.
Beyond Grace are top tier band that shockingly few people seem to be aware of. All of their discography, (Monstrous, Seekers, Our Kingdom Undone, and Welcome to the New Dark Ages, Part 1), is worth spending time with, so it’s with high expectations that we turn to Welcome to the New Dark Ages, Part 2. Continue reading “Beyond Grace – Welcome to the New Dark Ages, Part 2 (Review)”
Primal Code are a death metal band from the US and this is their debut album.
Featuring a current/ex-member of Anatomy of Habit, Indian, Lord Mantis, and Wolves in the Throne Room, Primal Code play old-school death metal, and on Opaque Fixation they bring us 39 minutes of crushing riffery. Continue reading “Primal Code – Opaque Fixation (Review)”
Veilburner are a black/death metal band from the US and this is their seventh album.
A new Veilburner album is always an exciting prospect. I’ve been a fan since 2016’s The Obscene Rite, but it was 2022’s VLBRNR that really saw them reach their true potential in my eyes. Now we have The Duality of Decapitation and Wisdom‘s 49 minutes upon us, and I’m ready to fall into Veilburner’s well-realised world once more. And, this time, it’s stranger than ever. Continue reading “Veilburner – The Duality of Decapitation and Wisdom (Review)”
This is the second album from French death metallers Ad Vitam Infernal.
Le Ballet des Anges contains 33 minutes of old-school death metal brutality. If you like bands such as Morbid Angel, Immolation, Hate Eternal, and Deicide, then there’s a good chance you’ll like what Ad Vitam Infernal unleash on their new record. Continue reading “Ad Vitam Infernal – Le Ballet des Anges (Review)”
