This is the debut album from Norwegian black metallers Tilintetgjort.
In Death I Shall Arise contains 47 minutes of music, culminating in the epic final 21-minute track Dommedagsmonument.

This is the fourth album from Indian one-man extreme metal band Demonstealer.
I enjoyed both 2016’s This Burden Is Mine and 2021’s The Holocene Termination, so it’s now time to catch up with the talented artist behind Demonstealer. This time he’s come with a large supporting cast, as he’s assembled an enviable amount of musicians to help him to achieve his metallic goals, (from Continue reading “Demonstealer – The Propaganda Machine (Review)”
This is the third album from US one-man black metal band Lamp of Murmuur.

This is the third album from blackened death metallers Whore of Bethlehem.
Recommended for fans of Morbid Angel, Deicide, Devangelic, and Oath of Damnation by the promo blurb, this sets an appropriately brutal scene for Ritual of Homicide. I’ll also throw in references to acts such as Belphegor, Dark Funeral, Suffocation, Krisiun, and Altars Ablaze for good measure. Continue reading “Whore of Bethlehem – Ritual of Homicide (Review)”
Ne Obliviscaris are an Australian extreme progressive metal band and this is their fourth album.
It seems like such a long time ago that 2017’s Urn came out – and it was – so it’s great to now have Ne Obliviscaris back with Exul. Containing 52 minutes of new material, Exul may just be Ne Obliviscaris’ best album yet. Continue reading “Ne Obliviscaris – Exul (Review)”
