Fossilization are a Brazilian death metal band and this is their second album.
Following on from 2023’s monstrous Leprous Daylight, Fossilization have once more emerged from their ancient slumber with the 36-minute Advent of Wounds. Strap yourself into the slime-covered pain machine, as it’s about to get nasty. Continue reading “Fossilization – Advent of Wounds (Review)”
This is the fourth album from US black/death/doom act Worm.
In many quarters Necropalace is a big deal. Through a range of EPs, splits, and albums, (such as Foreverglade and Bluenothing), Worm have continued to develop and grow over the years, essentially Continue reading “Worm – Necropalace (Review)”
Weeping Sores are a death/doom band from the US and this is their second album.
Brought to us by two members from bands such as Pyrrhon, Scarcity, and Seputus, The Convalescence Agonies contains 45 minutes of material. The style is death/doom, enriched with cello, keyboards, and on one track banjo. Continue reading “Weeping Sores – The Convalescence Agonies (Review)”
This is the debut album from Structure, a solo death/doom metal band from the Netherlands.
Heritage contains 50 minutes of atmospheric death/doom. The artist behind Structure knows this style well, and Heritage is certainly an above average slab of deathly, doomy misery, and that’s putting it mildly. Continue reading “Structure – Heritage (Review)”
Rothadás are a death/doom band from Hungary and this is their second album.
Töviskert… a Kísértés Örök Érzete… Lidércharang almost passed me by, but I heard enough underground buzz about it that I had to check it out. I’m glad I did, as Rothadás have produced a monstrous slab of doom-inflused death metal. Continue reading “Rothadás – Töviskert… a Kísértés Örök Érzete… Lidércharang (Review)”
This is the fifth album from Swedish death/doom band Soliloquium.
It’s always a pleasure to receive a new Soliloquium album. 2020’s Things We Leave Behind and 2022’s Soulsearching both hit harder than the melodic death/doom style typically does for me. Will the 57-minute, (with bonus track), Famine continue this high quality trend? Continue reading “Soliloquium – Famine (Review)”
This is the debut album from US death/doom metallers Ritual Ascension.
Profanation of the Adamic Covenant contains five tracks that spread out over 48 minutes like a virulent plague. Brought to us by members of Aberration, Feral Light, Suffering Hour, and Void Rot, Ritual Ascension deliver unto us unworthy listeners a monstrously abyssal amalgamation of death and doom metal. Continue reading “Ritual Ascension – Profanation of the Adamic Covenant (Review)”
This is the second album from Decrepisy, a death metal band from the US.
Brought to us by current/ex-members of bands such as Acephalix, Ascended Dead, Coffin Rot, Necrot, Ritual Necromancy, Vastum, and Voidceremony, Deific Mourning is the 45-minute follow up to 2021’s enjoyable Emetic Communion. Let’s see what this new record is all about then, shall we? Continue reading “Decrepisy – Deific Mourning (Review)”
Onirophagus are a Spanish death/doom metal band and this is their third album.
It’s been some time since Onirophagus graced us with the crushing slab of death/doom that was 2019’s Endarkenment (Illumination Through Putrefaction), but now the band have returned. The 48-minute Revelations from the Void is a leaner beast than its predecessor, with shorter songs, (significantly so in many cases), and an increase in atmospheric malevolence that’s remarkable. Continue reading “Onirophagus – Revelations from the Void (Review)”
This is the second album from US death/doom metal band Mother of Graves.
2021’s In Sombre Dreams marked Mother of Graves as ones to watch, a band playing affecting doom/death that showed great promise. The following year they delivered on this promise with the impressive Where the Shadows Adorn. Now, two years later, The Periapt of Absence appears, providing us with 45 minutes of new material to explore. Let’s dig in and see what Mother of Graves have for us this time around. Continue reading “Mother of Graves – The Periapt of Absence (Review)”
