Outre are a Polish black metal band and this is their second album.
After 2015’s Ghost Chants and 2017’s split with Barshasketh, it’s safe to say that Hollow Earth has been much-awaited by me. I have not been disappointed, not at all. Continue reading “Outre – Hollow Earth (Review)”
Cognitive are a US technical death metal band and this is their third album.
Matricide is the follow up to 2016’s Deformity, which was a record that I really enjoyed. Continue reading “Cognitive – Matricide (Review)”
Striker are a Canadian heavy metal band and this is their sixth album.
I really like Striker. Simple, effective, well-written, and catchy as Hell, their music is just so timelessly appealing and pleasurable to listen to. That’s basically how I feel whenever I give 2017’s Striker a spin, but the same can be said, (and I am saying it), about Play to Win. Continue reading “Striker – Play to Win (Review)”
This is the third album from US one man atmospheric black metal band Eneferens.
Eneferens is a project that I swear I’ve not only listened to in the past, but reviewed also. It turns out that this isn’t true, so I have no idea what I must be thinking of. Continue reading “Eneferens – The Bleakness of Our Constant (Review)”
Hate Eternal are a US death metal band and this is their seventh album.
Muscular and taut, Hate Eternal are a band that channel the sheer primal force that death metal is capable of. The band’s music is technical and brutal, but not massively overly so in either direction, preferring instead to Continue reading “Hate Eternal – Upon Desolate Sands (Review)”

Grinding Bombing Thrashing contains 23 minutes of savage grind spread out over an intense 16 tracks. Continue reading “Nuclear Holocaust – Grinding Bombing Thrashing (Review)”
Megaton Leviathan are a US psychedelic rock/doom band, and this is their third album.
Now here’s a band that have flowered quite impressively since their already very accomplished 2014 album Past 21: Beyond the Arctic Cell. Boasting new members, new instrumentation, and an enriched direction, Mage is indebted to the band’s past, while being unconstrained by it. Continue reading “Megaton Leviathan – Mage (Review)”
This is the third album from Entropia, a Polish experimental/post-black metal band.
I am extremely fond of Entropia. Both Vesper and Ufonaut have had much rotation on my playlists, so when I saw they had a new album released I was quite excited. Continue reading “Entropia – Vacuum (Review)”
Bloodtruth are an Italian death metal band and this is their second album.
Bloodtruth’s 2014 debut album Obedience was characterised by crisp brutality, efficient technicality, and, unusually, the occasional Gregorian chant. You can think of Martyrium as a refinement of the process that was started on Obedience, only this time with an added concept for the entire album. Continue reading “Bloodtruth – Martyrium (Review)”
Internal Bleeding are a brutal death metal band from the US and this is their sixth album.
2014’s Imperium was a damn good barrage of brutality, but now, four years and one tragedy later, The Internal Bleeding of 2018 sound revitalised, energetic, and hungry for blood. Continue reading “Internal Bleeding – Corrupting Influence (Review)”
