This is the ninth album from French death metallers Benighted.
Both 2017’s Necrobreed and 2018’s Dogs Always Bite Harder than Their Master were enjoyably brutal, so Obscene Repressed promises much, and delivers too. Continue reading “Benighted – Obscene Repressed (Review)”
Twitch of the Death Nerve are a UK death metal band, and this is their second album.

This is the second album from US death metal band Blood Incantation.
2016’s Starspawn was a very notable album, making it onto my end of year list for that year too. As such, there’s been plenty of excitement and expectation for Hidden History of the Human Race.
