Dying Fetus are a band that have never released a bad album. In fact, I’d argue that they have only ever released great albums. Continue reading “Dying Fetus – Wrong One to Fuck With (Review)”
This is the debut album from UK death metal act Beyond Grace.
It seems like ages since 2014’s Monstrous was unleashed on the world, showing much promise for the future. Well, that promise has now appeared and coalesced in the form of Seekers. Continue reading “Beyond Grace – Seekers (Review)”
Maou Mindu are a deathgrind band from Canada and this is their debut EP.
Gotta love deathgrind. Taking the direct, lethal assault of grindcore and combining it with the extra depth that death metal can allow, it frequently marries the two together in strong and sexy ways. In the case of Maou Mindu, the results are very sexy indeed. Continue reading “Maou Mindu – Grind Against Humanity (Review)”
Exist are a progressive/technical death metal band from the US and this is their second album.
Exist have taken the torch from forerunners such as Atheist, Death, and Cynic, and are truly running with it. This means we get an old-school influenced version of the progressive/technical death metal style, as laid down by the aforementioned masters, despite the modern veneer and sparkling production.

Gravewards are a Greek death metal band and this is their debut EP.
You’ve got to love some old-school death metal, especially when it’s played like it is here and so gloriously represents the esoteric 90s style. Continue reading “Gravewards – Subconscious Lobotomy (Review)”
Igorrr is a one-man project, (with guests), and this is his fourth album.
How to describe this? It’s not easy. Well, I think I’ll just sidestep the entire issue and call it a metal album and be done with it. Then I’ll run away and hide. So, ‘metal’ loosely covers it in a general sense, I suppose, but what an injustice a simple genre tag can be.
This is an album that’s as insane as the album cover. Continue reading “Igorrr – Savage Sinusoid (Review)”
Macabre Demise is a one-man German death metal band and this is his latest EP.
2015’s Homicidal Parasites was a furiously fun slab of brutality, so it’s great to now have Macabre Demise back for more with this short 12 minute EP. Continue reading “Macabre Demise – Apocalypse (Review)”
The latest Entrails release World Inferno is an utterly storming and deadly album. Effectively channelling the spirit of the old-school Swedish death metal scene, Entrails are pretty much up there with the best of the bands playing the style.
Guitarist and driving force behind the band Jimmy Lundqvist gave me a bit of added insight into the band and what they’re up to now that World Inferno is about to be unleashed on the world…
Displeased Disfigurement are a South African death metal band and this is their second album.
This is brutal death metal full of slamming gore and ugly abuse. Continue reading “Displeased Disfigurement – Origin of Abhorrence (Review)”
This is the fourth album from US death metallers Father Befouled.
This is a band that takes the classic sounds of Incantation and Morbid Angel and warps, twists, and bends them to their own indomitable will. Continue reading “Father Befouled – Desolate Gods (Review)”
