Septic Flesh are a symphonic death metal band from Greece and this is their tenth album.
A new release from Septic Flesh is always something to get a lot more excited about than that of your average band. Make no mistake either; this is definitely worth getting excited about.
Here’s a band that seems to be going from strength to strength for the last decade or so, and Codex Omega is another top-quality addition to their discography. Continue reading “Septic Flesh – Codex Omega (Review)”
It’s not often you get to see a brutal death metal lineup like this, so I was very pleased to be able to catch this tour. Continue reading “Hell on Earth Tour – Cattle Decapitation/Broken Hope/Hideous Divinity/Gloryhole Guillotine – Manchester Rebellion, 04/09/17 (Live Review)”
This is the second album from Devangelic, an Italian death metal band.
The follow up to 2014’s barbaric Resurrection Denied, Devangelic have once again created a raging monster of USDM-influenced brutal death metal. Continue reading “Devangelic – Phlegethon (Review)”
Nephren-Ka are a French death metal band and this is their second album.
Ooooh, now this is one I’ve been eagerly waiting for. Nephren-Ka’s debut album The Fall of Omnius was a fantastic record, one that ended up being the number one pick for my best of 2013 end of year list. Its follow up is well overdue, but now it’s finally here. Continue reading “Nephren-Ka – La Grande Guerre de L’Epice (Review)”
Leng Tch’e are a Belgian grindcore band and this is their sixth album.
Razorgrind is aptly named; this is sharp, lethal grindcore that takes no prisoners and knows how to draw blood as easily as breathing. Continue reading “Leng Tch’e – Razorgrind (Review)”
Dying are a Spanish death metal band and this is their second album.
Dying play brutal death metal without compromise of mercy. For fans of Internal Bleeding, Dying Fetus, etc. Continue reading “Dying – No Mercy for Us (Review)”
Wardomized are a UK death/thrash metal band and this is their second EP.
From the moment the EP starts you’re left with no doubt about the old-school pedigree of Wardomized. They seem to have instantly managed to nail down a sound that’s been torn from the 80s, both from a recording point of view and also a stylistic one. Continue reading “Wardomized – Red Death (Flows Through My Veins) (Review)”
This is the fourth album from Germany’s Arroganz, a black/death metal band.
My last encounter with Arroganz was their previous 2014 album Tod & Teufel, and now they have returned with a new slab of dark music, but one that has seen the band undergo a blackened metamorphosis of sorts. Continue reading “Arroganz – Primitiv (Review)”
Italian modern death metal band Integral’s debut album Resilience is a strong one. I’m listening to it again as I type these words, and it has a lot to recommend itself. Don’t believe me? Just listen to the embedded Bandcamp player at the bottom of this interview – the band easily make their own compelling case for priority airplay time as soon as you press play.
The drummer of Integral, Agostino Buttarelli, was nice enough to give us a bit more info on this relatively fresh new band. Check it out.
This is the debut album from Antiversum, a blackened death metal band from Switzerland.
Okay, so I’ve tentatively labelled this as blackened death metal simply for ease of description in the introduction, but the reality is that this is more of a black/death/doom hybrid. It all sits under a suitably blackened and grim aegis though, powered by a vicious death metal intensity. Continue reading “Antiversum – Cosmos Comedenti (Review)”
