This is the fifth album from Fleshgod Apocalypse, an Italian death metal band.
The follow up to the acclaimed King, Fleshgod Apocalypse’s orchestral death metal is in fine form on Veleno, with the band’s symphonic orchestration once again ably enmeshed in their technical workouts and core brutality. However, the Continue reading “Fleshgod Apocalypse – Veleno (Review)”
This is the debut album from Ohio Slamboys, a brutal death metal band from France.
Now here’s an album that does exactly what it says on the tin. Slamming death metal with a zombie fixation? Why the Hell not!

Inanimate Existence have always impressed. Their blend of progressive, technical, and atmospheric death metal has always been well-written, inventive, and thoroughly enjoyable. So far, they have a prolific streak of high quality work, and Clockwork only adds to this, I’m pleased to report. Continue reading “Inanimate Existence – Clockwork (Review)”
This is the third album from Abnormality, a death metal band from the US.
I like Abnormality. Sociopathic Constructs follows 2016’s Mechanisms of Omniscience, and gives us 33 minutes of brutal death metal with a side order of technicality. Continue reading “Abnormality – Sociopathic Constructs (Review)”
Allegaeon’s fifth album Apoptosis is a progressive metal tour de force that uses technical and melodic elements to its benefit in a number of stimulating and highly enjoyable ways.

Lörd Matzigkeitus are a black metal band from Canada and this is this project’s third album.
From the Many Splintered Minds mixes a harsh form of black metal with elements of death metal and a multitude of blackened underground styles of extremity.
