This is the second album from Soulrot, a death metal band from Chile.
I enjoyed 2017’s Nameless Hideous Manifestations, which was a solid slab of underground Swedish-influenced old-school death metal. Boasting 40 minutes of material, what does Victims of Spiritual Warfare hold for us? Continue reading “Soulrot – Victims of Spiritual Warfare (Review)”
This is the debut EP by US death metallers Tombstoner.
Oh my, what do we have here? This is some very tasty old-school death metal, played with modern flair. It’s not just death metal that we have here, however, as Tombstoner incorporate elements of grind, hardcore, and thrash into their Continue reading “Tombstoner – Descent to Madness (Review)”
Henry Kane is a one-man deathgrind/crust band from Sweden, and this is his second album.
I do enjoy Henry Kane’s work. If you haven’t already, make sure you check out Den Förstörda Människans Rike and the split with Prolefeed. Brought to us by the man-of-a-million-bands Jonny Pettersson, (Ashcloud, Gods Forsaken, Heads for the Dead, Just Before Dawn, Ursinne, Wombbath, and many others), Age of the Idiot is a brutally sublime piece of extremity. Continue reading “Henry Kane – Age of the Idiot (Review)”
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”
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)”
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)”
Lots to choose from this month, so narrowing it down to just a handful of releases was not easy… Continue reading “Monthly Overview – the Best of March 2020”
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)”
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 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)”
