Sympuls-E are a Russian melodic death metal band and this is their third album.
Apparently a rerecording of the band’s 2011 demo Зеркало Города, Mirror City is bright and shiny metal, but not without bite. Continue reading “Sympuls-E – Mirror City (Review)”
Fragarak are an Indian progressive death metal band and this is their second album.
We first met Fragarak on their 2013 album Crypts of Dissimulation. Well, we’ve been waiting a long time for a follow up release, and now it’s here, it’s quite the monster. Continue reading “Fragarak – A Spectral Oblivion (Review)”

Eye Sea Black are an Italian metal band and this is their debut EP.
Specialising in its own brand of stylish and sharp aggression, Stigma is almost 20 minutes of modern extreme metal that hits the spot quite nicely. Continue reading “Eye Sea Black – Stigma (Review)”
This is the tenth album from Arch Enemy, a Swedish melodic death metal band; although it’s likely that this is a band that you need no real introduction to.
On Will to Power Arch Enemy sound invigorated and full of fresh life. It has the trademark Arch Enemy sound and style, of course, but enhanced and honed to a deadly point.

Dawn of Disease are a death metal band and this is their fourth album.
I wasn’t expecting a new Dawn of Disease album so soon after last year’s enjoyable Worship the Grave, but I’m certainly not complaining about it. Continue reading “Dawn of Disease – Ascension Gate (Review)”
Fleshbore are a US death metal band and this is their debut demo release.
One of the things I really like about demo releases in this day and age is that they no longer have to sound like they’ve been recorded by a guy screaming into a bucket in a garage somewhere. Hail technological progress! Which is a roundabout way of saying Continue reading “Fleshbore – Demo 2017 (Review)”
