Depleted is a one-man death/doom band from the US and this is his latest demo.
We first met Depleted in 2018 with Conjurations of Void, and it impressed with its virulent underground nastiness. On this new release we are (mis)treated to 31 minutes of horror and despair. It may not be pleasant, but it is damn good. Continue reading “Depleted – Wretched Decay (Review)”
This is the second album by Shodan, a death metal band from Poland.
2016’s Protocol of Dying was a very memorable and enjoyable album, one that stood out for its quality and variety.

This is the third album from WVRM, a US grindcore band.
Since discovering WVRM in 2017 with Can You Hear the Wind Howl, I’ve real enjoyed their work. Which is why I knew I had to check out Colony Collapse.

Twitch of the Death Nerve are a UK death metal band, and this is their second album.
2014’s A New Code of Morality was a memorable record, loaded with enough brutal power to destroy continents. Has it really been six years since that album was unleashed on the world? It has, so Continue reading “Twitch of the Death Nerve – A Resting Place for the Wrathful (Review)”
This is the third album from US death/doom metallers Temple of Void.
My enjoyment of Temple of Void’s work over the years has only increased, (here, here, here), so it’s with great excitement and expectation that I turn to The World That Was. Continue reading “Temple of Void – The World That Was (Review)”
Perdition Temple are a death metal band from the US and this is their third album.
This is malignant death metal with a vicious blackened edge. Featuring current and ex-members of Angelcorpse, Amon, and Malevolent Creation, this is a veteran band that knows what they are doing with death metal. Continue reading “Perdition Temple – Sacraments of Descension (Review)”
This is the third album from Solothus, a death/doom metal band from Finland.
Soaked with deathly vibes and sinister doom promise, this is macabre death/doom that deeply satisfies with its quality delivery. For a rough approximation of the band’s sound, imagine a mix of bands such as Continue reading “Solothus – Realm of Ash and Blood (Review)”
