After two decades of existence extreme metallers Goatwhore show no sign of wear and tear as they’ve just released what’s possibly their best and most well-rounded album to date – Vengeful Ascension. If you haven’t heard it yet then I strongly urge you to check it out as it’s quite the corker.
Drummer Zack Simmons talked to us a bit about the new album… Continue reading “Interview with Goatwhore”
This is the seventh album from US death metallers Origin.

This is the fourth album by Execration, a Norwegian death metal band.
I’m a huge fan of Execration’s third album Morbid Dimensions, and it even made the number two slot on my best of 2014 end of year list, so stuffed full of technical/progressive death metal goodness was it. Continue reading “Execration – Return to the Void (Review)”

Full disclosure – Aborted are one of my favourite death metal bands. So there’s that. Continue reading “Aborted – Bathos (Review)”
This is the second album from Scalpel, a death metal band from the US.
We haven’t heard much from Scalpel since 2013’s Sorrow and Skin. This was one of the earliest reviews I ever did, (as you can probably gather by reading it), so the band have always stuck in my mind.

Temple of Void are a death/doom band from the US and this is their second album.
Now here’s one I’ve been really looking forward to. Of Terror and the Supernatural was one of my absolute favourite releases of 2014, and it seems like it has been a very long wait for this new one. Continue reading “Temple of Void – Lords of Death (Review)”
Goatwhore are a black/death metal band from the US and this is their seventh album.
Not only is this a band with just an amazing name, but ever since they first coalesced into existence around members of stunning personal favourites Soilent Green and Acid Bath, I’ve always had an incredible soft spot for Goatwhore. Continue reading “Goatwhore – Vengeful Ascension (Review)”
