Filth are a death metal band from Sweden and this is their debut album.
Time to Rot contains 29 minutes of utter Filth. Sorry, this stuff writes itself. This is nasty, stinking, decaying, old-school death metal, and Filth know what they are doing with the style. Continue reading “Filth – Time to Rot (Review)”
This is the third album from Phrenelith, a death metal band from Denmark.
Following on from 2021’s Chimaera comes the 39-minute monstrosity Ashen Womb. This is absolutely hideous stuff, from a band that apparently just keep on improving. Phrenelith have unleashed something truly malefic here. Continue reading “Phrenelith – Ashen Womb (Review)”
This is the second album from US death metallers Coffin Rot.
2018’s Coffin Rot demo promised much, and then 2019’s A Monument to the Dead delivered. Well, it’s been five long years since then – has Dreams of the Disturbed been worth the wait? Continue reading “Coffin Rot – Dreams of the Disturbed (Review)”
This is the latest EP from US death metallers Father Befouled.
I last caught up with Father Befouled on 2017’s Desolate Gods. Since then the band have released an EP, a live album, a split, and another album in 2022 called Crowned in Veneficium, none of which I heard at the time, unfortunately. This streak of missed opportunities to let the band crush me with their blasphemous brand of death metal ends now, with the 26-minute Immaculate Pain. Continue reading “Father Befouled – Immaculate Pain (Review)”
Convocation are a funeral doom band from Finland, and this is their third album.
Having been impressed with Convocation’s colossal doom offerings on 2018’s Scars Across and 2020’s Ashes Coalesce, the arrival of No Dawn for the Caliginous Night is a welcome one. Continue reading “Convocation – No Dawn for the Caliginous Night (Review)”
This is the second album from international death metallers Cruciamentum.
Featuring current/ex-members of Vacivus and Perdition Temple, Cruciamentum play old-school death metal that fans of acts such as Incantation, Corpsessed, Ritual Necromancy, Fossilization, and Immolation should check out. Continue reading “Cruciamentum – Obsidian Refractions (Review)”
Dead Chasm are an Italian death metal band and this is their debut album.
Featuring current and ex-members of Decrepid, Funest, Horrid, and Stench of Profit, Sublimis Ignotum Omni contains 33 minutes of macabre old-school death metal. This is damn good stuff. Continue reading “Dead Chasm – Sublimis Ignotum Omni (Review)”
Pestilent Hex are a black metal band from Finland and this is their debut album.
Brought to us by members of Corpsessed and Desolate Shrine, The Ashen Abhorrence contains 42 minutes of authentic second wave black metal. Worshipping at the altar of the 90s classics, Pestilent Hex combine elements of bands such as Emperor, Gehenna, Satyricon, Dimmu Borgir, and Arcturus, while injecting their own grim character, to produce an enjoyable slice of symphonic blackened art. Continue reading “Pestilent Hex – The Ashen Abhorrence (Review)”
Corpsessed are a Finnish death metal band and this is their third album, (or fourth, depending on your perspective).
I do so enjoy Corpsessed’s material, (check out 2014’s Abysmal Thresholds and 2018’s Impetus of Death). Four years after their last release, regular as rotten clockwork, they have returned with new platter Succumb to Rot. This release features the band’s most colourful artwork, as well as their shortest running time, (36 minutes). Continue reading “Corpsessed – Succumb to Rot (Review)”
Lie in Ruins are a Finnish death metal band and this is their third album.
Six years on from 2014’s monstrous Toward Divine Death, we get follow up Floating in Timeless Streams. Clocking in at a lean 42 minutes, (compared to its predecessor’s 72), this is a more concentrated and focused slab of brutality and aggression. Continue reading “Lie in Ruins – Floating in Timeless Streams (Review)”
