This is the fifth album from German death metallers Cytotoxin.
2020’s Nuklearth was a very good album, so it’s great to have Cytotoxin back once more. Containing 48 minutes of new material, Biographyte offers a radioactive feast of death metal for us to savour and enjoy. It’s the band’s longest album, but fear not, Cytotoxin know what they’re doing. Continue reading “Cytotoxin – Biographyte (Review)”
This is the second album from US death metal band Necrambulant.
Well, it’s been twelve years since Infernal Infectious Necro-Ambulatory Pandemic saw the light of day, so I thought I’d better check out Upheaval of Malignant Necrambulance to see what Necrambulant have been up to since then. Apparently they split up in 2014, only to reform in 2022 with a new lineup, (including vocals now from the bands ex-drummer). So there we are then. Continue reading “Necrambulant – Upheaval of Malignant Necrambulance (Review)”
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? Continue reading “Relics of Humanity – Absolute Dismal Domain (Review)”
This is the second album from Vomit Forth, a death metal band from the US.

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)”
This is the second album from US death metallers 200 Stab Wounds.
With a name like 200 Stab Wounds, you know this is going to be brutal, and if you weren’t sure, then the album cover would surely confirm it. Manual Manic Procedures contains 29 minutes of bloodthirsty cruelty, and if you’re a death metal fan then it’s an easy album to enjoy getting punched around by. Continue reading “200 Stab Wounds – Manual Manic Procedures (Review)”
Severe Torture are a death metal band from the Netherlands and this is their sixth album.
Torn from the Jaws of Death is a 39-minute hammer smash to the face. I’ve been a huge fan of Severe Torture ever since 2000’s Feasting on Blood, so to say I’ve been excited for this has been an understatement. I’m pleased to say that Severe Torture have delivered the entrails-smeared goods, and have also brought some additional torture implements with them too. Continue reading “Severe Torture – Torn from the Jaws of Death (Review)”
Dying Fetus are a US death metal band and this is their ninth album.
Ahh, Dying Fetus. Old reliable. And I mean that in the very best of ways. After all, they are one of the greatest death metal bands in the world, in my humble opinion. Let me make it clear from the very start – Make Them Beg for Death absolutely rules. Continue reading “Dying Fetus – Make Them Beg for Death (Review)”
