Vulvodynia – Praenuntius Infiniti (Review)
This is the fourth album from South African death metallers Vulvodynia.
After 2016’s Psychosadistic Design and 2019’s Mob Rules, it’s great to once more be exposed to Vulvodynia’s brand of deathcore-laced brutal slamming death metal. There’s a whopping 57-minutes of violent content on Praenuntius Infiniti. Although I was initially concerned about this, as that length is a bit of a push for this sort of punishing material, it turns out that the band have done their best to make good use of the time.

Deformatory – Inversion of the Unseen Horizon (Review)
This is the third album from Canadian death metal band Deformatory.
I really like Deformatory’s work. Both 2013’s In the Wake of Pestilence and 2016’s Malediction were very enjoyable and satisfying slabs of brutal technicality. It has been a long wait for Inversion of the Unseen Horizon, but we finally have 43 minutes of new material. Continue reading “Deformatory – Inversion of the Unseen Horizon (Review)”

Noctambulist are a blackened death metal band from the US, and this is their second album.
Featuring the drummer of Cordyceps, Noctambulist play a blistering form of extreme metal.

Nephren-Ka – From Agony to Transcendence (Review)
Nephren-Ka are a French death metal band and this is their third album.
The return of Nephren-Ka sees them bring us a new lineup, (including a new singer), and a few more blackened influences. Other than that, we’re once again in for a brutal ride of Dune-flavoured death metal. I loved 2013’s The Fall of Omnius and 2017’s La Grande Guerre de L’Epice, and now From Agony to Transcendence looks set to inflate my already high impressions of this superlative band. Continue reading “Nephren-Ka – From Agony to Transcendence (Review)”
Unfathomable Ruination – Decennium Ruinae (Review)
This is the latest EP from UK death metallers Unfathomable Ruination.
After the tight ball of fury that was 2019’s Enraged and Unbound, it’s good to hear from Unfathomable Ruination once more. This new EP contains 20 minutes of material – three new songs, and a rerecorded version of an old one. Continue reading “Unfathomable Ruination – Decennium Ruinae (Review)”
