Hexekration Rites – Misanthropic Path of Carnal Deliverance (Review)

Hexekration Rites - Misanthropic Path of Carnal DeliveranceThis is the debut album from French blackened death metal band Hexekration Rites.

Brought to us by an ex-member of Azziard, Hexekration Rites play a darkly brutal mix of black and death metal.

Sarcophagum – The Grand Arc of Madness (Review)

Sarcophagum - The Grand Arc of MadnessThis is the debut album from Australian death metallers Sarcophagum.

Essentially a side band of the gloriously nasty Golgothan Remains, (three out of four members have links to the band), Sarcophagum also boast the talents of the drummer of the mighty Ashen Horde, (also current/ex-member of Blade of Horus, Decrepid, Evilyn, Norse, Somnium Nox, Virulent Depravity, and more).

Golgothan Remains - Adorned in RuinThis is the second album from Australian death metallers Golgothan Remains.

I really enjoyed the ugly malevolence of Golgothan Remains’ 2018 debut Perverse Offerings to the Void. It’s now four years later, and Adorned in Ruin has finally come crashing into our lives. Has it been worth the wait? Continue reading “Golgothan Remains – Adorned in Ruin (Review)”

Golgothan Remains – Perverse Offerings to the Void (Review)

Golgothan RemainsThis is the debut album from Golgothan Remains, an Australian death metal band.

Golgothan Remains manage to fuse old-school ancient death metal influences with a more modern streak of black/death dissonance. Thinking of a mix of Immolation, Incantation, Ulcerate, and Deathspell Omega wouldn’t be entirely inappropriate. Continue reading “Golgothan Remains – Perverse Offerings to the Void (Review)”
