This is the third album from German death metallers Reckless Manslaughter.
It seems a long time since 2013’s Blast into Oblivion came out, which of course is has been. Although the band have released a couple of splits and a demo in the intervening years, I haven’t heard them, so Caverns of Perdition is my first chance to catch up with them again. Continue reading
This is the second album from Polish deathmetallers Eteritus.
Sucker for Scandinavian-styled death metal that I am, I really enjoyed 2016’s Following the Ancient Path, so when I saw this new slab of filth appear I knew I had to give it a listen. Continue reading
Eroded are an Italian death metal band and this is their second album.
Featuring 35 minutes of 90s-styled old-school death metal, Eroded have produced a worthy and enjoyable album here. With war metal influences, (musically, if not thematically), and a Scandinavian veneer, Necropath is Hellishly good fun.
Lik are a Swedish death metal band and this is their second album.
Carnage is aptly named, containing 37 minutes of old-school destruction and dirty brutality. Featuring members of Continue reading
Crypt Rot are a death metal band and Cringer are a crossover thrash band, both are from the US and they have teamed up for this split release.
Kicking us off with 11 minutes of very enjoyable Swedish-styled death metal is Crypt Rot. Continue reading
This is the debut album from Finnish one-man, (rounded out with some session members), death/black metal project Cemetery Winds.
This is a competent and engrossing mix of old-school death and black metal. This sits Continue reading
This is a split between Palace of Worms and Ecferus – two US one-man black metal bands.
Both of these bands are ones that I really enjoy, and both have a history of quality releases, (check out The Ladder, Prehistory and Shamaniacal Essence), so when I found out they were sharing a split release, the expectation levels rocketed up. Continue reading
Henry Kane is a one-man deathgrind/death metal/crust project from Sweden.
This is quite hard to classify, but essentially Den Förstörda Människans Rike is a festering, ugly mix of Swedish death metal, hardcore/crust and Swedish grind.
This is deathgrind of the highest, yet filthiest variety. Think of a mutant mix of Dismember, Nails, Anaal Nathrakh, Nasum and Martyrdöd. Continue reading
Lifeblind are a Swedish death metal band and this is their debut EP.
Ahhhh Swedish death metal. Always reliable, always enjoyable. Sure, it has its detractors, but when you get right down to it, what’s not to like?
Influenced by the usual suspects, (Entombed, Dismember, etc.), Continue reading
Harm are a German death metal band and this is their second album.
It’s been a few years since Harm’s 2013 debut album Cadaver Christi first landed like a high-explosive shell, and since then we’ve been hungry for more. Well, wait no longer, as Harm are back.
What I like about Harm is how Continue reading
