Dagger Lust are a black metal/grind/noise band from the US and this is their debut album.
Featuring members of Triumvir Foul and Witch Vomit, Dagger Lust play ugly, underground black metal that’s been further polluted with murky grindcore and barbed noise. It’s relentlessly nasty and completely unwholesome. Continue reading “Dagger Lust – Siege Bondage Adverse to the Godhead (Review)”
Depravity are an Australian death metal band and this is their debut album.
Featuring a member of Impiety/The Furor, this is 40 minutes of 90s-inspired death metal. Morbid Angel fans in particular should pay attention, but this is really for any fan of bands such as Continue reading “Depravity – Evil Upheaval (Review)”

Mixing classic d-beat crust with the uglier side of death metal, this is 8 minutes of pitch-black fury and aggression. Continue reading “Neolithic – Cult of Ignorance (Review)”
Strangle Wire are an Irish death metal band and this is their latest EP.
This is the follow up to the band’s debut release Narcissism, which was an enjoyable brief introduction to Strangle Wire’s brand of nastiness. They are now back, and I’ve pleased to say they have built on their initial promise. Both of the songs on the band’s first release have resurfaced on The Dark Triad, but now they’ve brought friends to the party too. Continue reading “Strangle Wire – The Dark Triad (Review)”
This is the fourth album from Swedish/Finnish grinders Afgrund.

This is the debut album from Golgothan Remains, an Australian death metal band.
Golgothan Remains manage to fuse old-school ancient death metal influences with a more modern streak of black/death dissonance. Thinking of a mix of Immolation, Incantation, Ulcerate, and Deathspell Omega wouldn’t be entirely inappropriate. Continue reading “Golgothan Remains – Perverse Offerings to the Void (Review)”

Featuring an ex-member of Eye of Solitude, this is 37 minutes of progressive death metal that shows just how fertile with ideas and ability this relatively new band are. Continue reading “Wounded Not Dead – The Battles of Horus of Edfu (Review)”
This is the debut album from Reprisal, a death/thrash metal band from the UK.
This is 54 minutes of ripping death/thrash. It’s not without its depth either, as the band incorporate some choice progressive tendencies in their sound too. This justifies the length of the album, as the songs take the time to explore where they need to, offering a substantial and engaging journey to the listener.
