This is the fourth album from German death metal band Endseeker.
Endseeker are a band that are very easy for me to like. Despite cooling on the Swedish death metal style over the years, I fail to be indifferent to Endseeker’s crushing assault. Both 2019’s The Harvest and 2021’s Mount Carcass were thoroughly enjoyable examples of the style, so will Global Worming follow in their thunderous footsteps?

Sepulchral Curse are a blackened death metal band from Finland and this is their second album.
Following on from 2016’s At the Onset of Extinction and 2020’s Only Ashes Remain comes the 37-minute monster that is Abhorrent Dimensions. Put simply, this new album is Sepulchral Curse’s best work so far. Continue reading “Sepulchral Curse – Abhorrent Dimensions (Review)”
This is the debut album from international death metal band Asinhell.
Impii Hora is a 39-minute love letter to Swedeath’s golden days. Asinhell clearly know the style intimately, and across these 10 tracks lay waste with their song-focused approach to death metal carnage. Continue reading “Asinhell – Impii Hora (Review)”
This is the debut album from US extreme metal band Owdwyr.
Receptor is an interesting beast. Blurring the boundaries between technical death metal, grindcore, and progressive metal, Owdwyr’s music is a riot of violence and exploratory brutality. It’s a 44-minute sophisticated wrecking ball. Continue reading “Owdwyr – Receptor (Review)”
This is the second album from Cult Burial, a death/black/doom metal band from the UK.
Following on from 2020’s crushing Cult Burial, Reverie of the Malignant is a 41 minute journey into a world of darkness and despair. It’s not to be missed. Continue reading “Cult Burial – Reverie of the Malignant (Review)”
Baring Teeth are a death metal band from the US and this is their fourth album.
I last caught up with Baring Teeth almost a decade ago on 2014’s Ghost Chorus Among Old Ruins. They also had an album out in 2018, which I missed, (I’ll have to dig it out at some point), so The Path Narrows offers a good opportunity to catch up with the band once more. So what do Baring Teeth have to offer the discerning metal fan in 2023? Continue reading “Baring Teeth – The Path Narrows (Review)”
This is the third album from US death metallers Afterbirth.
Following on from 2020’s Four Dimensional Flesh, In But Not Of contains 36 minutes of devastating brutality that sounds like it was spawned in another dimension. Continue reading “Afterbirth – In But Not Of (Review)”
Sulphur Aeon are a German death metal band and this is their fourth album.
Long after 2015’s Gateway to the Antisphere and 2018’s The Scythe of Cosmic Chaos shook the death metal underworld, Sulphur Aeon returns to sow chaos and discord once again. A great slumbering monster awakens. Continue reading “Sulphur Aeon – Seven Crowns and Seven Seals (Review)”
This is the ninth album from Carnifex, a blackened death metal/deathcore band from the US.
Following on from 2016’s Slow Death, 2019’s World War X, and 2021’s Graveside Confessions, comes Necromanteum; 42 minutes of well-crafted heaviness. So what do Carnifex have in store for us this time? Continue reading “Carnifex – Necromanteum (Review)”
Disguised Malignance are a Finnish death metal band and this is their debut album.
Disguised Malignance serve up 34 minutes of disgusting old-school death metal, and they do so with undisguised talent. Entering the Gateways is shockingly good fun. Continue reading “Disguised Malignance – Entering the Gateways (Review)”
