Ovakner – Ar/Lume (Review)
Ovakner are a Spanish death/crust band and this is their debut EP.
Mixing old-school death metal with a firm helping of crust and some quite emotive elements, this is an energetic and filthy slab of crushing aggression and surprising depth.
Northern Plague – Scorn the Idle (Review)
Northern Plague are a black/death metal band from Poland and this is their second album.

Incantation – Profane Nexus (Review)
Incantation are a legendary US death metal band and this is their eleventh album.
Pioneers of combining death metal’s fiery intensity with monolithic doom influences, Profane Nexus is the sound of a band that know exactly what they need to do to put out a great death metal record, and then just get down to the business of doing it.

Uhtcearu – For Darkness to Subside (Review)

Hot on the heels of last year’s impressive debut album The Plight of Wanderers, Uhtcearu clearly aren’t interested in resting on their laurels as we already have a new album from them. Not that I’m complaining, as their debut album was one of the more notable and enjoyable releases of 2016. Continue reading “Uhtcearu – For Darkness to Subside (Review)”

Black Blood Invocation – Black Blood Invocation (Review)
Black Blood Invocation are a Greek blackened death metal band and this is their debut release.
After a rather ominous intro, we get three songs of ugly, bestial death metal that sound as if a blackened tar has been poured over them and left to rot. Continue reading “Black Blood Invocation – Black Blood Invocation (Review)”
Satanic – Architecture of Chaos (Review)
Satanic are a Canadian death/thrash metal band and this is their debut album.
Satanic play death metal mixed with thrash. The death metal side of the band’s style takes care of the aggression, while the thrash metal side concerns itself with spiky riffs and lightning guitar solos.
