As it is every month, April’s releases were a hard bunch to whittle down to just a worthy few. I’ve settled on just the five below to highlight, but be aware that I’ve left out many other damn good records. Continue reading “Monthly Overview – the Best of April 2020”

Benighted – Obscene Repressed (Review)
This is the ninth album from French death metallers Benighted.
Both 2017’s Necrobreed and 2018’s Dogs Always Bite Harder than Their Master were enjoyably brutal, so Obscene Repressed promises much, and delivers too. Continue reading “Benighted – Obscene Repressed (Review)”
WVRM – Colony Collapse (Review)
This is the third album from WVRM, a US grindcore band.
Since discovering WVRM in 2017 with Can You Hear the Wind Howl, I’ve real enjoyed their work. Which is why I knew I had to check out Colony Collapse. Spread across 27 minutes of violent power channelled into 14 furious grindcore songs, this album is a force to be reckoned with. Continue reading “WVRM – Colony Collapse (Review)”
Monthly Overview – the Best of March 2020

Wake – Devouring Ruin (Review)
Wake are a Canadian grindcore band and this is their fourth album.
I really, really enjoyed 2018’s Misery Rites, so I new that as soon as Devouring Ruin appeared, it was a must-listen. Continue reading “Wake – Devouring Ruin (Review)”
Estuarine – Wisdom of Silenus (Review)
This is the latest EP from Estuarine, a one-man death metal band.
I greatly enjoyed both Lucid/Entheogen and Sic Erat Scriptum, so a new EP’s worth of material is most welcome. Continue reading “Estuarine – Wisdom of Silenus (Review)”
Vomit Fist – Omnicide (Review)
Vomit Fist are a grindcore band from the US and this is their latest release.
Here we have 20 minutes of complex, vicious grindcore. This is not your standard grindcore, however, and Vomit Fist have produced something far more atypical and individual than most. Continue reading “Vomit Fist – Omnicide (Review)”
Monthly Overview – the Best of November 2019
What an unreasonably strong month for metal releases November was! Be assured, this list could have been much, much bigger. Let’s see what made the cut… Continue reading “Monthly Overview – the Best of November 2019”
Teeth – The Curse of Entropy (Review)
Teeth are a death metal/grindcore band from the US, and this is their second album.
A new Teeth album! I’ve been following this band ever since their debut album Unremittance was unleashed in 2014. After that, we had their very tasty split with Fister, and then the downright delicious split with Barghest. Unlike the latter, with Continue reading “Teeth – The Curse of Entropy (Review)”
Y-Incision/Treasonist – Mechanical Perdition – Split (Review)
Both hailing from the US, Y-Incision and Treasonist each play variants of grindcore.
Y-Incision open the split with 10 minutes of material – 6 songs, one of which is a Treasonist cover. Continue reading “Y-Incision/Treasonist – Mechanical Perdition – Split (Review)”
