Victims of Contagion – Lamentations of the Flesh Bound (Review)
Victims of Contagion are a death metal band from the US and this is their debut album.
Victims of Contagion play death metal that mixes brutality with technicality, resulting in songs that aren’t overly technical just for the sake of it. Instead, the technicality is used to forge tracks that place the song at the heart of what the band do. Continue reading “Victims of Contagion – Lamentations of the Flesh Bound (Review)”
Black Shroud – Death Culture (Review)

Unknown Artist – A Pig’s Head on a Stick (Review)
This is the debut release from Unknown Artist, a French extreme metal band.
What on earth is this unholy abomination? A single 28-minute track of utter nastiness and horror, that’s what. Complex and impenetrable, this is disjointed, inaccessible blackened death metal, and is not for the weak of heart. Continue reading “Unknown Artist – A Pig’s Head on a Stick (Review)”

Hiss from the Moat – The Harrier (Review)
Hiss from the Moat are an Italian blackened death metal band and this is their second album.
It’s been quite a while since 2013’s Misanthropy was released, but it made a very good impression on me, so its follow up, The Harrier, is a record I was pleased to see make its way into my hands. Continue reading “Hiss from the Moat – The Harrier (Review)”

Altarage – The Approaching Roar (Review)
Altarage are a Spanish blackened death metal band and this is their third album.
