Pig’s Blood – A Flock Slaughtered (Review)
This is the second album from Pig’s Blood, a death metal band from the US.
Here we have 32 minutes of raw, underground death metal, dripping with filth and agony and reeking of unholy energies. This is brutal, gnarled, and thoroughly evil. Continue reading “Pig’s Blood – A Flock Slaughtered (Review)”
Cripple Bastards – La Fine Cresce da Dentro (Review)
Cripple Bastards are an Italian grindcore band and this is their seventh album.
2014’s Nero in Metastasi was not only a top quality grindcore release, but one that I’ve frequently returned to over the years. Continue reading “Cripple Bastards – La Fine Cresce da Dentro (Review)”
Continuum – Designed Obsolescence (Review)
Continuum are a technical death metal band from the US, and this is their second album.
Featuring current and ex-members of bands such as Decrepit Birth, Scour, Deeds of Flesh, Arkaik, Allegaeon, Inanimate Existence, Pathology, and Rings of Saturn, before even listening to Designed Obsolescence you know that there’s a wealth of extreme metal experience that’s gone into its forging. Continue reading “Continuum – Designed Obsolescence (Review)”
Aenimus – Dreamcatcher (Review)
Aenimus are a modern death metal band and this is their second album. They are from the US.
Aenimus fuse a range of different styles into their modern death metal. It’s progressive and technical, and takes parts of the djent and deathcore styles into itself quite easily. The music twists and turns with a futuristic Continue reading “Aenimus – Dreamcatcher (Review)”
Hiss from the Moat – The Harrier (Review)
Hiss from the Moat are an Italian blackened death metal band and this is their second album.
It’s been quite a while since 2013’s Misanthropy was released, but it made a very good impression on me, so its follow up, The Harrier, is a record I was pleased to see make its way into my hands. Continue reading “Hiss from the Moat – The Harrier (Review)”
Relics of Humanity – Obscuration (Review)
This is the latest EP from Balarus death metallers Relics of Humanity.
Boasting six tracks in seventeen minutes, Obscuration is packed with brutal death metal savagery. Continue reading “Relics of Humanity – Obscuration (Review)”
Coltsblood/Un- Split (Review)
Coltsblood and Un are both doom bands and have teamed up for this split release. The former are from the UK and the latter the US.
I’n unfamiliar with Coltsblood’s work prior to this split, but I certainly intend to rectify this after listening to Snows of the Winter Realm. Continue reading “Coltsblood/Un- Split (Review)”
Kaleikr – Heart of Lead (Review)
Kaleikr are an Icelandic black/death metal band and this is their debut album.
This is black metal that’s progressive and emotive. Heart of Lead is an album that you can almost visibly see change as it develops and unfolds. As it runs through its playing time, Kaleikr’s music becomes increasingly darker and more unhinged. Continue reading “Kaleikr – Heart of Lead (Review)”
Diluvium Europa 2019 Tour – First Fragment/Allegaeon/Fallujah/Obscura – Manchester Rebellion, 07/02/19 (Live Review)
So, who’s up for a night of unbridled technical brutality? Everyone in attendance at Rebellion tonight, that’s who. With a lineup like this, who can blame them?
Also, there’s a bartender here with an Acid Bath T-Shirt on. Top man. Continue reading “Diluvium Europa 2019 Tour – First Fragment/Allegaeon/Fallujah/Obscura – Manchester Rebellion, 07/02/19 (Live Review)”
