This is the fourth album by Polish death metallers Dormant Ordeal.
2021’s The Grand Scheme of Things was a notable slab of death metal heaviness, so I’ve been looking forward to Tooth and Nail. Across 47 minutes Dormant Ordeal once again showcase their expressive brand of Polish death metal. Continue reading “Dormant Ordeal – Tooth and Nail (Review)”
This is the third album from French deathgrinders Putrid Offal.
Wow, has it really been ten years since 2015’s Mature Necropsy? That’s depressing. Less depressing is that we have a new Putrid Offal album to ease the terrible passage of time. With 35 minutes of new material, Obliterated Life is a wrecking ball of deathgrind nastiness. Continue reading “Putrid Offal – Obliterated Life (Review)”
This is the fifth album from German death metallers Cytotoxin.
2020’s Nuklearth was a very good album, so it’s great to have Cytotoxin back once more. Containing 48 minutes of new material, Biographyte offers a radioactive feast of death metal for us to savour and enjoy. It’s the band’s longest album, but fear not, Cytotoxin know what they’re doing. Continue reading “Cytotoxin – Biographyte (Review)”
This is the second album from US black/death metal band Tómarúm.
2022’s Ash in Realms of Stone Icons was a one of the best of the year, so anticipation has been high for the new one from Tómarúm. Will Beyond Obsidian Euphoria‘s 69 minutes have the same impact as its predecessor? Continue reading “Tómarúm – Beyond Obsidian Euphoria (Review)”
This is the debut album from US black metallers Wrath of Logarius.
Crown of Mortis contains 37 minutes of modern black metal, incorporating elements of death metal to make a highly compelling whole. Continue reading “Wrath of Logarius – Crown of Mortis (Review)”
This is the seventh album from US death metallers Allegaeon.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all of the Allegaeon albums I’ve heard, (2016’s Proponent for Sentience, 2019’s Apoptosis, and 2022’s Damnum), and each has been better than the last. Now Allegaeon are back with the 46-minute The Ossuary Lens, (their shortest album so far), and have changed singer, with their their original vocalist returning to the fold. Let’s see what they have to offer us this time around. Continue reading “Allegaeon – The Ossuary Lens (Review)”
This is the debut album from US death/doom metallers Ritual Ascension.
Profanation of the Adamic Covenant contains five tracks that spread out over 48 minutes like a virulent plague. Brought to us by members of Aberration, Feral Light, Suffering Hour, and Void Rot, Ritual Ascension deliver unto us unworthy listeners a monstrously abyssal amalgamation of death and doom metal. Continue reading “Ritual Ascension – Profanation of the Adamic Covenant (Review)”
This is the fourth album from Spanish black/death metal band Teitanblood.
From the Visceral Abyss is a 52-minute tornado of violence and destruction. Teitanblood don’t mess around, and this is a punishing record of black/death metal barbarity that’s unexpectedly moreish. Continue reading “Teitanblood – From the Visceral Abyss (Review)”
This is the second album from Decrepisy, a death metal band from the US.
Brought to us by current/ex-members of bands such as Acephalix, Ascended Dead, Coffin Rot, Necrot, Ritual Necromancy, Vastum, and Voidceremony, Deific Mourning is the 45-minute follow up to 2021’s enjoyable Emetic Communion. Let’s see what this new record is all about then, shall we? Continue reading “Decrepisy – Deific Mourning (Review)”
Corpus Offal are a death metal band from the US and this is their debut album.
I had no idea that Cerebral Rot had split up. If you don’t know them, check out 2019’s Odious Descent into Decay and 2021’s Excretion of Mortality, both very fine slabs of hideous death metal. Why is this relevant here? Because Corpus Offal have arisen from the decayed corpse of Cerebral Rot – the guitarist and guitarist/vocalist have been vomited forth into this new incarnation, and they have brought a new bassist and drummer with them, (the former ex-Demoncy, the latter from Autophagy/Bell Witch). Continue reading “Corpus Offal – Corpus Offal (Review)”
