Coffin Rot are a US death metal band and this is their latest demo.
Coffin Rot play gnarly, ugly old-school death metal, and they do it extremely well. With four tracks across 18 minutes, this is morbid music that’s easy to take a shine too. Continue reading “Coffin Rot – Coffin Rot (Review)”
Skinless are a death metal band from the US and this is their sixth album.
This is the follow up to 2015’s highly enjoyable Only the Ruthless Remain. Okay, so let’s get the obvious out of the way first – Savagery is an album which is appropriately named.

Wombripper are a Russian death metal band and this is their debut EP.
This EP was originally released in 2017, and apparently the band have had a split release and a full length album since this. Regardless, this is my first exposure to the band, and I must say that I like what I hear. Continue reading “Wombripper – Infected Tomb (Review)”
