This is the second album from Swedish death metal band Wretched Fate.
Carnal Heresy contains 40 minutes of prime death metal. It’s effortlessly enjoyable, yet lurking just under the skin is a wealth of flesh and bone that actually tastes even better than it looks. Continue reading “Wretched Fate – Carnal Heresy (Review)”
Insomnium are a Finnish melodic death metal band and this is their ninth album.
I loved 2016’s Winter’s Gate, and 2021’s Argent Moon was pretty damn good to, so I knew that I wanted to check out what Anno 1696 had to offer. Across 50 minutes of material Insomnium once again treat us to a feast of metallic might. Continue reading “Insomnium – Anno 1696 (Review)”
Carnosus are a Swedish death metal band and this is their second album.
Carnosus play a technical form of death metal that’s riven with melodic highlights and fitted with thrash metal prosthetics. Across 35 head-spinning minutes Visions of Infinihility blends the old-school with the new to produce a ripping journey into idiosyncratic tech death. Continue reading “Carnosus – Visions of Infinihility (Review)”
This is the second album from Canadian death metal band Dead Soul Alliance.
2017’s Slaves to the Apocalypse and 2021’s Behind the Scenes were both solid slabs of 90s-influenced old-school death metal. Spiralling to Lunacy finds Dead Soul Alliance in fine form, delivering another 31 minutes of satisfying carnage. Continue reading “Dead Soul Alliance – Spiralling to Lunacy (Review)”

This is the fifth album from Scottish death metal band Man Must Die.
Man Must Die play technical death metal and The Pain Behind It All is a 41-minute assault of vicious riffs, sharp technical blows, and blunt force extremity. If you’re a fan of bands such as Decapitated, Dyscarnate, Cattle Decapitation, Beneath the Massacre, and Misery Index, then there’s much here to enjoy for you. Although, as we’ll see, there’s more than just death metal here. Continue reading “Man Must Die – The Pain Behind It All (Review)”
This is the second album from US death metallers Nothingness.
Featuring the drummer of Ghost Bath, Supraliminal contains 43 minutes of foul, riff-hungry death metal. The promo blurb states that this is for fans of Gorguts, Gojira, Morbid Angel, and Iniquity, and this should give you a good starting point for the band’s tar-thick heaviness. I’m a little late discovering this, but I’m sure glad that I did. Continue reading “Nothingness – Supraliminal (Review)”
This is the third album from Distant, a deathcore band from the Netherlands.
Tyrannotophia, Dusk of Anguish, and Dawn of Corruption – all thoroughly crushing examples of modern downtempo deathcore brutality. How could I not want to check out Distant’s newest? At 47 minutes in duration it’s on the longer side for something like this, but in this case the quantity is backed up by the quality. Continue reading “Distant – Heritage (Review)”
