Virulence of Misconduct – Infected (Review)
This is the debut album from international brutal deathcore band Virulence of Misconduct.
Infected comes roaring out of the underground like a possessed daemon in a bloodthirsty rage. It’s only 25 minutes long, but that’s all you need when you’re selling this sort of thundering slam. Continue reading “Virulence of Misconduct – Infected (Review)”

Across 64 minutes, the artist behind Pillory batters and bewilders the listener with an onslaught of technical death metal. Scourge upon Humanity clearly won’t be for everyone, even just from that description alone, Continue reading “Pillory – Scourge upon Humanity (Review)”

2018’s Serpent’s Curse was a great record, so this new one is much-anticipated.

Profanity – Fragments of Solace (Review)
This is the fourth album from German death metallers Profanity.
Despite the decent-sized discography of Profanity, this is my first encounter with them other than their 2014 EP Hatred Hell Within. The EP was enough to ensure that I checked out this album when it appeared, (although it Continue reading “Profanity – Fragments of Solace (Review)”
Growth – The Smothering Arms of Mercy (Review)
Growth are an Australian death metal band and this is their debut album.
This is essentially modern progressive death metal, but with a distinctly personal slant. That’s a bit too simplistic a description though.
