Filth are a death metal band from Sweden and this is their debut album.
Time to Rot contains 29 minutes of utter Filth. Sorry, this stuff writes itself. This is nasty, stinking, decaying, old-school death metal, and Filth know what they are doing with the style. Continue reading “Filth – Time to Rot (Review)”
This is the fifth album from Greek grindcore band Dephosphorus.
Dephosphorus play an extreme metal amalgamation of hardcore, grind, death metal, and black metal. It’s vicious, inventive, and rather tasty. Over 28 minutes Planetoktonos showcases what Dephosphorus are capable of in no uncertain terms. Continue reading “Dephosphorus – Planetoktonos (Review)”
This is the debut album from Polish death metallers Clairvoyance.
Chasm of Immurement contains 34 minutes of old-school death metal. Clairvoyance’s debut album takes us back to the 90s, while still crushing in 2025. If you’re a fan of bands such as Cerebral Rot, Genocide Pact, Incantation, Phrenelith, Necrot, and Tomb Mold, then this is one for you. Continue reading “Clairvoyance – Chasm of Immurement (Review)”
This is the second album from US death metal band Re-Buried.
Following on from 2021’s split with Deconsecration and 2023’s Repulsive Nature, Flesh Mourning contains 30 minutes of new material from Re-Buried. If you’re a fan of death metal, there is a lot to like here. Continue reading “Re-Buried – Flesh Mourning (Review)”
This is the second album by Ba’al, a blackened post-metal band from the UK.
I’ve been looking forward to this. 2017’s In Gallows by Mass introduced me to Ba’al’s brand of post-metal, but it was on 2020’s Elipsism where the band truly came into their own, developing a post-black metal framework for their post-metal that was hugely impressive. Last year’s EP Soft Eyes, a quality collection of songs, merely whetted my appetite for more, which we are now gifted with in the form of the 62-minute The Fine Line Between Heaven and Here. Continue reading “Ba’al – The Fine Line Between Heaven and Here (Review)”
This is the sixth album from US black metal band Abigail Williams.
Brought to us by current/ex-members of bands such as Aborted, Changeling, Chrome Waves, Fear Factory, The Faceless, Lord Mantis, Nachtmystium, Vale of Pnath, and Wolvhammer, a lot of experience and skills has gone into A Void Within Existence. In fact, due to the members, I’m amazed I’ve never listened to Abigail Williams prior to this new album. I’ve heard the name many times, but this is my first exposure to their brand of black metal. Continue reading “Abigail Williams – A Void Within Existence (Review)”
This is the second album from US black metallers Azathoth’s Dream.
Solitary Forest Necromancy contains 36 minutes of 90s synth-heavy atmospheric black metal. If the classic, atmosphere-rich blackend style is to your taste, then this is for you. Me? I really like this. Continue reading “Azathoth’s Dream – Solitary Forest Necromancy (Review)”
In the Company of Serpents are a doom metal band from the US and this is their fifth album.
I’ve enjoyed watching In the Company of Serpents ply their heaviness over the years. From 2014’s Merging in Light, to 2017’s Ain-Soph Aur, to 2020’s Lux, the band have always put releases out that hit the spot for me. Now, five years after their last album, we have the 44-minute A Crack in Everything to satiate our need for sludge/doom soundscapes. Continue reading “In the Company of Serpents – A Crack in Everything (Review)”
This is the third album from French death metal band Impureza.
Following on from 2017’s La Caída de Tonatiuh, (which seems like it came out an age ago), Impureza have now returned with the 49-minute Alcázares. If you’re interested in death metal with flamenco elements, and enjoy bands like Behemoth, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Hate Eternal, and Nile, then this is for you. Continue reading “Impureza – Alcázares (Review)”
This is the third album from UK doom/heavy metal band King Witch.
King Witch play classic doom and heavy metal spliced with equally vintage grunge and heavy rock. It’s a very effective mix, showcasing the band’s songwriting skill as they deliver 44 minutes of the good stuff. III is a high quality record through and through. Continue reading “King Witch – III (Review)”
