This is the debut album by US death metal band Horrific Visions.
Featuring the drummer of Stabbing, (also ex-Whore of Bethlehem), Remnants of Atrophy deals out 25 minutes of brutal death metal punishment. Horrific Visions take a well-worn formula and put just enough of their own spin on it to make a destructive impression. Continue reading “Horrific Visions – Remnants of Atrophy (Review)”
This is the second album from US death metallers Stabbing.
Eon of Obscenity is the 31-minute follow up to 2022’s Extirpated Mortal Process, and it’s a real beast. Stabbing have put together a record that showcases their abilities in no uncertain terms. This is Continue reading “Stabbing – Eon of Obscenity (Review)”
Offal Fest is a three-day festival of ultra-brutal death metal carnage. It consists of two main days, with a pre-show. Originally I was meant to attend both the Saturday and the Sunday, but much to my chagrin life got in the way, and instead the final four bands of the Sunday are all that I can manage, (I’m particularly gutted about missing Skinless). It’s time to make the most of it though, as I can still see some cracking bands, and I’ve been looking forward to it.

This is the second album from US death metallers Cordyceps.
I enjoyed 2020’s Betrayal, so another dose of brutal death metal heaviness from Cordyceps is well-received. This time it comes in the form of Hell Inside; 44 minutes of carnage, from a a band that haven’t stood still with their sound. Continue reading “Cordyceps – Hell Inside (Review)”

This is the ninth album from Canadian death metallers Cryptopsy.
A new Cryptopsy release is always an event to be celebrated. Less than two years after 2023’s very enjoyable As Gomorrah Burns, the band are now back with the 34-minute powerhouse that is An Insatiable Violence. Continue reading “Cryptopsy – An Insatiable Violence (Review)”
Unmerciful are a US death metal band and this is their fourth album.
It’s not too often a new Unmerciful album rolls around, but when it does, (2016’s Ravenous Impulse, 2020’s Wrath Encompassed), it’s always a tasty treat of death metal. Devouring Darkness is a 38-minute monster – ten tracks of unrelenting brutality, (which includes an Origin cover). Continue reading “Unmerciful – Devouring Darkness (Review)”
This is the second album from US death metallers Ominous Ruin.
Following on from 2021’s enjoyable Amidst Voices That Echo in Stone, Ominous Ruin have returned, now with a new vocalist. Requiem brings us 40 minutes of technical/brutal death metal, and it’s pretty damn good. Continue reading “Ominous Ruin – Requiem (Review)”
This is the second album from US death metal band Necrambulant.
Well, it’s been twelve years since Infernal Infectious Necro-Ambulatory Pandemic saw the light of day, so I thought I’d better check out Upheaval of Malignant Necrambulance to see what Necrambulant have been up to since then. Apparently they split up in 2014, only to reform in 2022 with a new lineup, (including vocals now from the bands ex-drummer). So there we are then. Continue reading “Necrambulant – Upheaval of Malignant Necrambulance (Review)”
