Barghest are a black metal band and Teeth are a death/doom metal band. Both are from the US.
Barghest offer up 4 songs on this split, lasting 21 minutes. Although they haven’t been featured on this site before, I’m a fan of Barghest and it was with eager excitement that I first listened to their side of this tasty, tasty release.
Opening with a recording of Continue reading “Barghest/Teeth – Split (Review)”
Colosso are a Portuguese death metal band and this is their second album.
I really enjoy Colosso’s earlier work, (Abrasive Peace, for example), so Obnoxious is a release I was looking forward too.
The band have a track record of experimentation with their sound and looking to better themselves however they Continue reading “Colosso – Obnoxious (Review)”
Throne of Botis are a death metal band from the US and this is their debut EP.
This is brutal death metal in the American style, with plenty of weight and muscularity in their sound. For fans of Defeated Sanity, Suffocation, Dying Fetus, Cannibal Corpse, Deeds of Flesh, Pyrexia, Internal Bleeding, etc.
The band offer up 17 minutes of Continue reading “Throne of Botis – Hymns of Homicide (Review)”
This is the fourth album by this Spanish blackened death metal band.
It seems like their previous album, Exilium, was only released last year, but no; it was actually 2014. So here we are now, with another 46 minutes of their dark and malevolent brand of blackened death.
First off, let’s state the obvious – Haeresis is the sound of a confident and professional band at the height of their game. This is blatantly apparent from the start. Continue reading “Noctem – Haeresis (Review)”

This is the third album from US experimental blackened death metallers Veilburner.
Veilburner have produced a monster of an album. This is 60 minutes of blackened death metal, filtered through a corrupted lens of experimental dissonance and pseudo-industrial undertones.
In a way it’s difficult to separate the disparate influences at play in Continue reading “Veilburner – The Obscene Rite (Review)”
Morte are a blackened death metal band from Poland and this is their debut album.
Boasting a nice solid sound, Morte deliver 37 minutes of metal that combines elements of both death and black metal.
Speed and serpentine riffs easily come to the band it Continue reading “Morte – Death Surrounds Us (Review)”
This is the debut album from Our Place of Worship Is Silence, a blackened death metal band from the US.
Oooh this is ugly, underground stuff that’s as raw and hurtful as having your face shaved off with a blunt razor.
If you take a seething, furious death metal base and pour corrupted blackened hatred all over it, you’ll have a good idea of where Our Place of Worship Is Silence’s proclivities lie. Continue reading “Our Place of Worship Is Silence – The Embodiment of Hate (Review)”
Brutally Deceased are from the Czech Republic and play death metal, this is their third album.
The band features members and ex-members of Heaving Earth and Jig-Ai, it seems. I really, really enjoyed the band’s debut album, Dead Lovers’ Guide, but missed their second, so on this new release it’s way overdue for me to get reacquainted with the band. Continue reading “Brutally Deceased – Satanic Corpse (Review)”
Mercyless are a French death metal band and this is their sixth album.
This is a band that have been around for quite some time at this point, and you’d better believe they know a thing or two about their killing art.
Last year’s split with Crusher was a solid example of their riff-led, ferocious style, and acted as somewhat of a taster for this new album. Continue reading “Mercyless – Pathetic Divinity (Review)”
