This is the second album from Turkish death metal band Carnophage.
Sitting and writing this on a lazy Sunday morning, I’m listening to Monument again and it’s like a force of nature is rushing out of the speakers into my ears, engaging my brain and waking me up like it’s slapping me in the face over and over again.
Yeah, I still feel tired, but now I’m awake-tired. I’m sure you can relate. Continue reading “Carnophage – Monument (Review)”
This is the third album from one-man death metal act Fetal Autopsy.
One-man death metal is a lot less common than one-man black metal is. This is a not a comment that really has any relevance to this review, I suppose, but there we are.
Okay, so Fetal Autopsy has 50 minutes of stocky, muscular death metal. Underground, brutal death metal is usually Continue reading “Fetal Autopsy – Backwoods Bloodshed (Review)”

Vulvodynia specialise in a form of brutal death metal that features a large helping of slam, beatdowns and deathcore/whatever – basically it’s brutal, bouncy and smashes the Hell out of everything around it.

This is the debut album from Atomgott, a German death metal band.
Atomgott mix together brutal/slamming death metal and deathcore to give us 29 minutes of huge riffs and heavy aggression.
The band are focused on providing the listener with a combination of speed and groove, both of which they do very effectively. Although there’s elements of the more modern deathcore/slam styles, there’s a good chunk of USDM in here too, recalling Continue reading “Atomgott – Apatheia (Review)”
Unborn Suffer are a deathgrind band from Poland, this is their fifth album.
Nihilist is 28 minutes of brutal death metal and grindcore, both mixed together and boiled alive to create a particularly dirty strain of deathgrind. It’s also quite a non-standard release – not because the band do anything wildly original, but because they’ve firmly stamped their music with their own mark.
To expand on this; the band have a rather unusual Continue reading “Unborn Suffer – Nihilist (Review)”
Urobilinemia are a Japanese brutal death metal/deathgrind band. This is combination of their split with 妖神楽 (Ayakasi Kagura) and their debut EP.
Featuring a hard-to-decipher band logo and some quite striking cover artwork, the band make a good impression before you even listen to them. And once you do, all Hell breaks loose.
The songs on this release are short, brutal and technical, just what the evil doctor Continue reading “Urobilinemia – Wriggling Chrysalis of Metaphysical Grudge (Review)”
This is the third album from Italy’s death metallers Ade.
Much in the same way that Nile are heavily influenced by ancient Egypt and incorporate musical influences from this into their sound and style, Ade do the same thing only their focus rests on ancient Rome.
These ancient influences come across in the music in a variety of ways, whether that’s incorporated into melodies and lyrics, (some of which are in Latin); layered in added orchestration and instruments; or even in some Continue reading “Ade – Carthago Delenda Est (Review)”
