This is the third album from Nightfall, a US death/doom Metal band.
2014’s The Living Ever Mourn and 2015’s Darkness Evermore were both notable for their character and quality. Unlike the short gap between those two albums, however, we have had to wait considerably longer for A Sanity Deranged. I confess I have been looking forward to hearing this quite a lot.

This is the second album from French blackened death metallers Mithridatic.
2016’s Miserable Miracle was heavy and dirty, in a very good way. Blackened death metal of this sort is frequently done poorly, but Mithridatic got the formula right on their debut album. Continue reading “Mithridatic – Tetanos Mystique (Review)”
Come Back from the Dead are a Spanish death metal band and this is their second album.
My introduction to Come Back from the Dead was on 2017’s Caro Data Vermibus. This was a very pleasing little EP, so it’s good to now see the band return with a new album – 32 minutes of rotten material to sink your fangs into. Continue reading “Come Back from the Dead – The Rise of the Blind Ones (Review)”
Omophagia are a death metal band from Switzerland and this is their third album.
2016’s In the Name of Chaos was solid, muscular death metal, the type that took influence from classic death metal and then gave it a modern slant. 646965 can be roughly described the same way, but with the modern side of the equation ramped up some. Continue reading “Omophagia – 646965 (Review)”
This is the debut album from Horrific Demise, a death metal band from the US.
Made by experienced hands, (current and ex-members of Lividity, Gorgasm, Sarcophagy, Necrotic Disgorgement, and others), that clearly love their work, Excruciating Extermination contains 31 minutes of brutal death metal. Continue reading “Horrific Demise – Excruciating Extermination (Review)”
Devourment are a death metal band from the US and this is their fifth album.
Mixing brutal, old-school death metal with slam, Obscene Majesty is disgustingly heavy and ferociously nasty. Continue reading “Devourment – Obscene Majesty (Review)”
Witch Vomit are a death metal band from the US and this is their second album.
Now this is the stuff. Featuring members of Torture Rack and Dagger Lust, I’ve long been a fan of the foulness that Witch Vomit unleash into the world. 2016’s A Scream from the Tomb Below and 2017’s Poisoned Blood were both underground gems of fetid old-school death metal, and Buried Deep in a Bottomless Grave is no different in this regard. Continue reading “Witch Vomit – Buried Deep in a Bottomless Grave (Review)”
This is the third album from UK death/sludge metal band Warcrab.
Scars of Aeons was a very enjoyable mix of sludge and death metal, so when I found out that this new album was on the horizon, I prepared myself accordingly. Damned in Endless Night is a bigger monster than Scars of Aeons was though, with double the tracks and a total duration of 52 minutes. Continue reading “Warcrab – Damned in Endless Night (Review)”
This is the second album from Swedish melodic death metallers Frantic Amber.
Boasting ex-members of Insision and Ice Age in their ranks, Frantic Amber play death metal that combines melody and brutality into songs that are well-written and tight. Continue reading “Frantic Amber – Bellatrix (Review)”
