This is the fifth album from German black metallers Ultha.
So, Ultha, (who are likely the best contemporary black metal band in the world), have only gone and unexpectedly released a monster of a new album in the 74-minute A Light so Dim. This is a record you need to hear if Continue reading “Ultha – A Light so Dim (Review)”
This is the fifth album from Canadian death metallers Archspire.
If 2017’s Relentless Mutation was a Big Deal, 2021’s Bleed the Future was a Really Big Deal. So, with a new drummer in tow, (from Oubliette), expectations are high for Too Fast to Die. Can Archspire rise to the occasion? Continue reading “Archspire – Too Fast to Die (Review)”
This is the twelfth album from US death metal band Immolation.
Expectations are high for the return of Immolation, one of death metal’s strongest and most consistent legendary bands. Following on from 2022’s well-received Acts of God, the monstrous Descent drops 43 minutes of new material on an unsuspecting world like Continue reading “Immolation – Descent (Review)”
This is a collaborative album between two legendary acts, Melvins from the US and Napalm Death from the UK.
Originally released last year as a 6-track limited tour CD/vinyl, Savage Imperial Death March is now getting a full release, with two extra songs and new artwork. It’s a 40-minute journey into an uncrowded collaborative space that brings together the sludgy melodic skill of Melvins and the off-centre experimental side of Napalm Death. Continue reading “Melvins with Napalm Death – Savage Imperial Death March (Review)”

This is the second album from Canadian death metallers Egregore.
It Echoes in the Wild is brought to us by current/ex-members of Mitochondrion and Funeral Circle, and is a light-swallowing maelstrom of black/death metal horror.

This is the fifth album from US death/doom band Temple of Void.
It’s safe to say I’m a fan of Temple of Void. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all of the band’s albums, (Of Terror and the Supernatural, Lords of Death, The World That Was, and Summoning the Slayer), bought the t-shirt, and one day hope to catch them live. Until then, we have a brand spanking new record to eagerly devour – The Crawl, which Continue reading “Temple of Void – The Crawl (Review)”
This is the second album from Irish black/death metallers Coscradh.
Carving the Causeway to the Otherworld is the 44-minute follow up to 2022’s Nahanagan Stadial, and unleashes a monster of black/death metal horror on the world. Coscradh are fierce purveyors of quality extremity, and their new record is Continue reading “Coscradh – Carving the Causeway to the Otherworld (Review)”
