This is Polish death metal band Banisher’s third album.
I like Banisher, as although they have a core of brutality, they infuse their music with a good deal of technicality and are not afraid to experiment with their sound either, introducing interesting ideas and some progressive elements.
Their last album, Scarcity, was really, really good, and on Oniric Delusions the band take what they did with Continue reading “Banisher – Oniric Delusions (Review)”
This is a split release between three modern death metal/deathcore bands, featuring one original song and one cover song from each artist. Thy Art Is Murder are from Australia, and The Acacia Strain and Fit for an Autopsy are from the US.
Thy Art Is Murder contribute the song They Will Know Another and a cover of Rammstein’s Du Hast, for a total of 9 minutes of music.
They Will Know Another showcases the familiar roars of the band’s vocalist alongside mid-paced Continue reading “Thy Art Is Murder/The Acacia Strain/Fit for an Autopsy – The Depression Sessions – Split (Review)”
Infectology are a death metal band from Ecuador. This is their second album.
Infectology play brutal death metal that’s relentless and barbaric. The blast beats and guttural vocals never end, save for the odd bouncier section and one instrumental track, (Inhuman Conception). Continue reading “Infectology – Innards of Misanthropic Embodiment (Review)”
This is the fourth album from Dawn of Demise, a death metal band from Denmark.
Dawn of Demise’s fourth album is the kind of instantly-gratifying hit of death metal that it’s so very easy to like. The album has 37 minutes of prime-time barbarous death metal that’s sure to find fans among all connoisseurs of aural carnage. Continue reading “Dawn of Demise – The Suffering (Review)”
Evil Reborn are a death metal band from Venezuela and this is their debut album.
Ahh, here’s the stuff; 31 minutes of heavy, chunky death metal to help you get through your day. Evil Reborn play a satisfying brand of death metal that sees them visit a few different eras, essentially resulting in some timeless, classic death metal fun for all of the family.
With muscular riffs and deep growling vocals, Throne of Insanity easily makes friends as it clubs them to death with a belligerent snarl. Continue reading “Evil Reborn – Throne of Insanity (Review)”
This is the debut album from Atomgott, a German death metal band.
Atomgott mix together brutal/slamming death metal and deathcore to give us 29 minutes of huge riffs and heavy aggression.
The band are focused on providing the listener with a combination of speed and groove, both of which they do very effectively. Although there’s elements of the more modern deathcore/slam styles, there’s a good chunk of USDM in here too, recalling Continue reading “Atomgott – Apatheia (Review)”
Urobilinemia are a Japanese brutal death metal/deathgrind band. This is combination of their split with 妖神楽 (Ayakasi Kagura) and their debut EP.
Featuring a hard-to-decipher band logo and some quite striking cover artwork, the band make a good impression before you even listen to them. And once you do, all Hell breaks loose.
The songs on this release are short, brutal and technical, just what the evil doctor Continue reading “Urobilinemia – Wriggling Chrysalis of Metaphysical Grudge (Review)”
This is the debut EP from this international, (Swedish/Spanish), death metal band.
Inert play old-school/Swedish death metal, taking influence from the likes of Dismember, Grave, Bloodbath and Entombed.
Dark growls sound as if something monolithic is being dragged through the earth. The singer Continue reading “Inert – Obliteration of the Self (Review)”
Hailing form Sweden, this is the third album from Usurpress.
I like Usurpress. Both their split with Bent Sea and their last full-length, Ordained, were very enjoyable, and now they’re back with a new album that features a very good cover.
But what of the music? Usurpress are not a normal death metal band, including elements of crust, sludge and progressive/psychedelic music in their delivery, as they do. Continue reading “Usurpress – The Regal Tribe (Review)”
This is the third album from Italy’s death metallers Ade.
Much in the same way that Nile are heavily influenced by ancient Egypt and incorporate musical influences from this into their sound and style, Ade do the same thing only their focus rests on ancient Rome.
These ancient influences come across in the music in a variety of ways, whether that’s incorporated into melodies and lyrics, (some of which are in Latin); layered in added orchestration and instruments; or even in some Continue reading “Ade – Carthago Delenda Est (Review)”
