Cerberus Unchained are a melodic death metal band from the UK. This is their debut EP.
After their early promise, it’s time to see if Cerberus Unchained have lived up to their potential on this new, 26 minute EP.
(Spoiler: They have).
The EP boasts a strong, beefy recording that sees the band immediately stake claim to the airwaves with Continue reading “Cerberus Unchained – Di Inferi (Review)”
Obituary are a legendary death metal band from the US and this is their latest release.
Featuring two brand new studio songs and 12 live tracks recorded during their 2015 Inked in Blood world tour, this is a Continue reading “Obituary – Ten Thousand Ways to Die (Review)”
This is the second album from Wovenwar, a US metal band.
Rising from the ashes of As I Lay Dying, this is my first encounter with Wovenwar. Although ostensibly treading similar ground as their parent band, Wovenwar are overall a different, darker and more nuanced beast. Continue reading “Wovenwar – Honor Is Dead (Review)”
Insect Death is a one-man grindcore band from the US.
A member of Chalice of Suffering has unleashed this small, short gem of a grind release. It’s brutally concise and an utterly vicious little beast.
The fact that the band name, (and logo), is a combination of Insect Warfare and Napalm Death should tell you a lot about this.
So, this is grindcore that owes a debt to Continue reading “Insect Death – Perpetuating Idiocy (Review)”
This is the eleventh album from legendary genre-forgers Neurosis. They play post-metal/progressive sludge/doom/whatever.
The impact of Neurosis on the post-metal/sludge/doom/etc. scene is immense and has been well-documented, of course. Suffice to say that this is an important band producing important music. They always have been and probably, (hopefully), always will be. Continue reading “Neurosis – Fires Within Fires (Review)”
This is the latest EP from US black metallers Singularity.
Singularity are an interesting beast. They play technical black metal, which by itself is a relatively unusual sub-genre. Add in a symphonic side to this and their self-titled debut album was an atypical and enjoyable release. Continue reading “Singularity – Void Walker (Review)”
Crystalmoors are a Spanish pagan/folk black metal band and this is their third album.
This is a double-album release consisting of two different parts. The first is named The Sap That Feeds Us and the second is named La Montaña.
The Sap That Feeds Us is pagan/folk black metal that should find fans in any that favour the work of Dissection, Primordial, Agalloch and Drudkh.
I like the blackened Continue reading “Crystalmoors – The Mountain Will Forgive Us (Review)”
This is the debut album by Eteritus, a death metal band from Poland.
Eteritus play old-school death metal that takes an influence from the Scandinavian scene.
The familiar criticism of most bands playing Continue reading “Eteritus – Following the Ancient Path (Review)”
This is the debut album from Jagged Mouth, a sludge/doom metal band from the US.
With the kind of scathingly high-pitched vocals that can strip skin at 100 paces, Jagged Mouth don’t mess around. This is slow and heavy sludge/doom that doesn’t care for being nice or pleasant in any way. Continue reading “Jagged Mouth – Louring (Review)”
This is the second album from Italian post-black metallers Sedna.
I recall Sedna from their enjoyable, if brief, split with Dementia Senex. Lasting just under 8 minutes, their contribution was a quality listen, which made me excited to hear this full-length.
This time we get a full 50 minutes Continue reading “Sedna – Eterno (Review)”
