This is the third album from Belarus death metallers Relics of Humanity.
It’s been a while since 2019’s Obscuration came out; a devastating EP that left me hungry for more. Alas, there was no more to be had, at least not until now. So, after six years, and with a change in singer, can the 2025 version of Relics of Humanity still hold their own in the death metal killing arenas?

This is the second album from UK death metallers Iniquitous Savagery.
Containing a current/ex-member of Laceration, Party Cannon, and Gendo Ikari, Iniquitous Savagery play brutal death metal. It’s been a long time since 2015’s Subversions of the Psyche, but now the band are back – with a new singer – to cause carnage and mayhem with 31 minutes of new material. Continue reading “Iniquitous Savagery – Edifice of Vicissitudes (Review)”
This is the seventh album from German death metallers Defeated Sanity.
When it comes to brutal technicality, I think it is fair to say that Defeated Sanity are legends in death metal. Their music is mercilessly brutal, yet boasts a jazz-influenced technical delivery and a progressive edge that’s absorbing. Although an appropriate description of the band’s output, it also doesn’t do the music full justice. Besides this, each of Defeated Sanity’s albums have their own flavour and character too.

This is the second album from Vomit Forth, a death metal band from the US.
Following on from 2022’s ugly and brutal Seething Malevolence, Terrified of God contains 27 minutes of ferocious material. Vomit Forth’s new record is a hideous slab of nasty death metal carnage. Continue reading “Vomit Forth – Terrified of God (Review)”
This is the third album from German extreme metal band Ingurgitating Oblivion.
It’s been some time since Ingurgitating Oblivion terrified the world with their malignant presence. 2014’s Continuum of Absence showed great promise, which was then realised on 2017’s colossal Vision Wallows in Symphonies of Light. The wait is now over, for Ontology of Nought brings us a massive 73 minutes of darkness. It’s time to step into the nightmare once more. Continue reading “Ingurgitating Oblivion – Ontology of Nought (Review)”
This is the third album from Carnophage, a Turkish death metal band.
It’s been a long time since 2016’s Monument, but Carnophage have now unleashed a new album. Matter of a Darker Nature is a 33-minute death metal masterclass – rooted in the brutal death metal style, but not limited to it. Continue reading “Carnophage – Matter of a Darker Nature (Review)”
Pathogenic Virulence are a death metal band from the UK and this is their second album.
Brought to us by an ex-member of Necrovile, Scourged contains 31 minutes of brutal death metal. It’s ferocious and uncompromising, yet also has more depth to it than many ostensibly similar bands. Continue reading “Pathogenic Virulence – Scourged (Review)”
Wormed are a Spanish death metal band and this is their fourth album.
A new Wormed album – their first in eight years – is a cause for celebration. Join me then for a 4-minute journey into cosmic madness and chaos, as Wormed unleash multidimensional Hell on the monstrously formidable Omegon. Continue reading “Wormed – Omegon (Review)”
This is the second album from Sijjeel, a death metal band from Saudi Arabia.
Returning to dish out more punishment after 2022’s brutal Salvation Within Insanity, Sijjeel are back with an even bigger hammer to smash in your ungrateful face with. Yep, it’s time for another slab of crushing death metal, so prepare to get smushed. Continue reading “Sijjeel – Affiliation of Horrid Containment (Review)”
Noxis are a death metal band from the US and this is their debut album.
Violence Inherent in the System contains 49 minutes, (with the bonus track), of mayhem. While it’s on the longer side for a death metal album, the quantity is backed up by the quality. Continue reading “Noxis – Violence Inherent in the System (Review)”
