Necroptic Engorgement are a death metal band from the US. This is their latest EP.
This is brutal death metal with a touch of deathgrind added for extra flavour.

This is brutal death metal replete with beatdowns and crushing groove; 35 minutes of brutality.
No matter how good an album like this actually is, (and some are certainly better than others), I still can’t help but always enjoy it to a point. The mindless brutality and lust for carnage that’s inherent in this kind of work is Continue reading “Human Vivisection – The Perpetual Gap (Review)”

This is Fractured Insanity’s third album. They are a death metal band from Belgium.
Fractured Insanity play brutal death metal that’s intense and well-written. Although this is predominantly on the brutal end of the spectrum, there’s also elements of technicality at play here, which just adds further depth to the music.
Think a combination of Nile, Behemoth, Severe Torture, Malevolent Continue reading “Fractured Insanity – Man Made Hell (Review)”

This is 34 minutes of modern death metal that effectively combines speed and groove.
Cannibal Corpse-esque riffs mix with elements of deathcore and bands like The Kennedy Veil and Origin, as well as sprinklings of thrash metal here and there.

That the band can clearly acknowledge Continue reading “Omnicide – Constants and Variables (Review)”
Abnormality have just recently released their latest album, Mechanisms of Omniscience, and it’s a ripping, tearing 39 minutes of utter brutality.

Aborted are a veteran death metal band from Belgium and this is their 9th album.
The return of Aborted! Huzzah! After recently catching them live, I was eagerly awaiting their latest foray into the killing pits. Their brand of blasting mayhem and huge groovy riffs has been refined over the years so that they’re definitely one of the best in the genre at this point.
The singer has always been Continue reading “Aborted – Retrogore (Review)”
