Ne Obliviscaris are an Australian progressive extreme metal band and this is their third album.
Urn is epic, progressive, aggressive, and textured. It’s a release that has a lot to absorb and experience, requiring multiple sittings to really even start to get the most from it. This is a complex and emotive listen, one that’s highly rewarding and enjoyable. Continue reading “Ne Obliviscaris – Urn (Review)”
The Walking Dead Orchestra are a French death metal band and this is their second album.
Savagery, thy name is The Walking Dead Orchestra. Okay, so it doesn’t quite just fall off the tongue, but you get the idea. Continue reading “The Walking Dead Orchestra – Resurrect”
Cannibal Corpse are a legendary death metal band, and I’m pretty sure you don’t need any introduction to them.
The kings of death metal return with their 14th album. This is the follow up to 2014’s A Skeletal Domain, and features twelve brand new slabs of unstoppable brutality. Continue reading “Cannibal Corpse – Red Before Black (Review)”
Altarage are a Spanish blackened death metal band and this is their second album.

This is the third album from All Pigs Must Die, a US hardcore band.
Ever since 2013’s Nothing Violates This Nature knocked me off my feet, kicked me in the teeth, and stamped down on my neck, I’ve been looking forward to the next instalment of brutal abuse from this impressive act. Continue reading “All Pigs Must Die – Hostage Animal (Review)”
The Kennedy Veil are a death metal band from the US and this is their third album.
I loved Trinity of Falsehood, absolutely loved it. For me, it was an almost perfect example of modern death metal, and ever since that release I’ve been eagerly awaiting their next album. Continue reading “The Kennedy Veil – Imperium (Review)”
Exhumed are a US death metal band and this is their sixth album.
I’ve had a huge, (wet, mushy, bloody), soft spot for Exhumed from the first time I heard Gore Metal way back when it came out, and ever since I’ve been a fan. I mention this only because Death Revenge is being released almost 20 years after their legendary debut, but demonstrates a band that have probably never sounded better.
Savage Annihilation are a French death metal band and this is their second album.
Savage Annihilation sound almost exactly as you imagine a band with this name would sound. It’s important to take note of the word ‘almost’ in that sentence, however, as there’s more going on here than you might initially think. Continue reading “Savage Annihilation – Quand S’baisse la Croix du Blasphème (Review)”
This is the second album from US death metallers Bloodstrike.
I like Bloodstrike a lot. There’s just something extremely satisfying about their no-frills take on old-school death metal. Their music rages and burns with the best of them, but also has an inherent honesty and authenticity that I find greatly appealing. Continue reading “Bloodstrike – Execution of Violence (Review)”
Blut Aus Nord are a black metal band, (among other things), from France. This is their twelfth album.
Blut Aus Nord are a well-known band with a well-known proclivity for experimentation and producing music that’s as unexpected/unpredictable as it is rich, dark, and textured. Continue reading “Blut Aus Nord – Deus Salutis Meæ (Review)”
