This is the second album from international death metal group Wormhole.
I liked 2016’s Genesis, and now the band are back with a new album and a new lineup. Here they give us 28 minutes of destructive modern extremity. Continue reading “Wormhole – The Weakest Among Us (Review)”
In Obscurity Revealed are a blackened death metal band from Mexico and this is their debut album.
After thoroughly enjoying the all-too-brief Grim Fumes of Revelation in 2016, I’ve been looking forward to hearing more material from this band. Apparently I’m late to the party, however, as this album originally saw the light of day at the end of 2018. Still, it’s been worth the wait.

This is the latest release by UK melodic death metallers Horrified.
We last met Horrified in 2017 with Allure of the Fallen, which was the band’s crowning achievement after the pleasing progression between the old-school nastiness of Descent into Putridity and the shinier, slicker Of Despair. Continue reading “Horrified – Sentinel (Review)”
This is the third album from Psychomancer, a death metal band from the US.
Shards of the Hourglass is a monstrous death/thrash metal release that falls somewhere between Swedish death metal and the more adventurous side of 90s death and thrash metal. There’s a vicious German influence too – think a mix of Vader and Destruction. Take all of this together and it makes for a surprisingly engaging 58-minute blend of extreme metal. Continue reading “Psychomancer – Shards of the Hourglass (Review & Interview)”
Impenitent are a blackened death metal band from the UK and this is their debut album.
Here we have some raw, underground stuff from the bottom of the underworld. It’s an hour of technical black/death metal, played with skill and passion, which sounds as if the recording of the album was recently found locked in some obscure vault somewhere after many, many years. Continue reading “Impenitent – Impenitent (Review)”
Teeth are a death metal/grindcore band from the US, and this is their second album.
A new Teeth album! I’ve been following this band ever since their debut album Unremittance was unleashed in 2014. After that, we had their very tasty split with Fister, and then the downright delicious split with Barghest. Unlike the latter, with Continue reading “Teeth – The Curse of Entropy (Review)”
This is the second album from US death metal band Blood Incantation.
2016’s Starspawn was a very notable album, making it onto my end of year list for that year too. As such, there’s been plenty of excitement and expectation for Hidden History of the Human Race. Despite only having four tracks, this new release has not disappointed at all. Continue reading “Blood Incantation – Hidden History of the Human Race (Review)”
This is the debut album from UK death metal band Strigoi.
Brought to us from the guitarist of Paradise Lost, rising out of the ashes of his Vallenfyre project, he’s joined on Srigoi by members of both bands, (one of which is also an ex-member of Extreme Noise Terror), giving us 44 minutes of engaging and individual death metal. Continue reading “Strigoi – Abandon All Faith (Review)”
This is the third album from UK death metallers Unfathomable Ruination.
Enraged and Unbound is a contains a monstrous 43 minutes of brutal, technical death metal. Continue reading “Unfathomable Ruination – Enraged and Unbound (Review)”
This is the second album from Iapetus, a progressive death metal band from the US.
2017’s The Long Road Home impressed with its colossal take on atmospheric, progressive, melodic death metal. Now, in 2019, the band have returned with an even more professional delivery and production, one which features the percussive skill of the drummer of Ne Obliviscaris too. As for the music? Well, it’s simply breathtakingly good. Continue reading “Iapetus – The Body Cosmic (Review)”
