This is the debut album from US death metallers Applaud the Impaler.
Applaud the Impaler smash together death metal, deathcore, and grindcore into a heaving mess of blood and entrails. This is quite the brutal delight. Continue reading “Applaud the Impaler – Ov Apocalypse Incarnate (Review)”
At Dusk is a one man US black metal band and this is his second album.
This one man black metal band, (a member of Nan Elmoth), has always been one I’ve enjoyed. Both 2014’s Anhedonia and 2017’s split with Sacerdos left me wanting more, which we now have in the shape of Condemned, (the title track of which is the same song that was on the split with Sacerdos). Continue reading “At Dusk – Condemned (Review)”
Akrotheism are a Greek black metal band and this is their second album.
I enjoyed 2014’s Behold the Son of Plagues, but it seems like quite a while since that release was unveiled to the world. Well, it has been I suppose. Continue reading “Akrotheism – The Law of Seven Deaths (Review)”
East of the Wall are a progressive metal band from the US and this is their fifth album.
East of the Wall have produced a progressive metal album that finds the band in fine form. This is a collection of textured, layered songs, embracing a modern progressive approach that has elements of the heavier side of the spectrum in its makeup. Continue reading “East of the Wall – NP-Complete (Review)”
Devourer are a Swedish black metal band and this is their third album.
Having really enjoyed 2017’s Across the Empty Plains, Devourer’s latest album is very well-received. Containing eight tracks of black metal that’s raw, cold, and merciless, Dawn of Extinction finds Devourer continuing to progress their sound without losing any of the assets they have accumulated so far from previous releases. Continue reading “Devourer – Dawn of Extinction (Review)”
This is the seventh album from US deathcore veterans Whitechapel.
Following on from Our Endless War and Mark of the Blade, Whitechapel are back with another thundering album of deathcore, modern metal, and pit-rousing brutal anthems. So how have they got on this time? Continue reading “Whitechapel – The Valley (Review)”
This is the second album from death metal band Undead Prophecies.
This is death metal rooted in the old-school. It’s played with obvious reverence for what came before it, and has clearly injected itself with a potent cocktail of stimulants to hit with as much force as it can. Continue reading “Undead Prophecies – Sempiternal Void (Review)”
This is the second album from US death metallers Pestilent Death.
Chapters of Depravity provides us with eight putrid tracks of underground death metal spread out over a festering 32 minutes. Continue reading “Pestilent Death – Chapters of Depravity (Review)”
Illimitable Dolor are from Australia, and play atmospheric death/doom metal.
Following on from their split with Promethean Misery, I was keen to hear more from Illimitable Dolor. Well, now is that opportunity; Leaden Light contains 52 minutes of material, carved into five exquisite slices. Continue reading “Illimitable Dolor – Leaden Light (Review)”
This is the sixth album from Truth Corroded, an Australian death/thrash metal band.
Truth Corroded serve up over 40 minutes worth of extreme metal on Bloodlands. The band’s style mixes skull-cracking brutality with razor-sharp thrash metal. This is music to simultaneously get smashed up and lacerated by. Continue reading “Truth Corroded – Bloodlands (Review)”
