This is the third album from Nightfall, a US death/doom Metal band.
2014’s The Living Ever Mourn and 2015’s Darkness Evermore were both notable for their character and quality. Unlike the short gap between those two albums, however, we have had to wait considerably longer for A Sanity Deranged. I confess I have been looking forward to hearing this quite a lot.

This is the sixth album from Swedish heavy metallers Ram.
Since 2015’s Svbversvm, and then 2017’s Rod, I have been a huge fan of Ram. Very few heavy metal bands from the last decade or so do it for me quite like Ram. They are, quite simply, just so damn good at what they do. Continue reading “Ram – The Throne Within (Review)”
This is the second album from French blackened death metallers Mithridatic.
2016’s Miserable Miracle was heavy and dirty, in a very good way. Blackened death metal of this sort is frequently done poorly, but Mithridatic got the formula right on their debut album. Continue reading “Mithridatic – Tetanos Mystique (Review)”

Come Back from the Dead are a Spanish death metal band and this is their second album.
My introduction to Come Back from the Dead was on 2017’s Caro Data Vermibus. This was a very pleasing little EP, so it’s good to now see the band return with a new album – 32 minutes of rotten material to sink your fangs into. Continue reading “Come Back from the Dead – The Rise of the Blind Ones (Review)”
Omophagia are a death metal band from Switzerland and this is their third album.
2016’s In the Name of Chaos was solid, muscular death metal, the type that took influence from classic death metal and then gave it a modern slant. 646965 can be roughly described the same way, but with the modern side of the equation ramped up some. Continue reading “Omophagia – 646965 (Review)”
Runespell is a solo black metal band from Australia, and this is his third album.
I’ve enjoyed both Unhallowed Blood Oath and Order of Vengeance, and now this new album, hot on the heels of the previous one, has arrived to sate my never-ending thirst for black metal. Continue reading “Runespell – Voice of Opprobrium (Review)”
Pinewalker are from the US and play sludge metal. This is their debut album.
Exploring the darkness of loss and the emotional impact/response of/to this, Migration contains 44 minutes of music that bares its soul as well as its fangs. Continue reading “Pinewalker – Migration (Review)”
This is the debut album from Horrific Demise, a death metal band from the US.
Made by experienced hands, (current and ex-members of Lividity, Gorgasm, Sarcophagy, Necrotic Disgorgement, and others), that clearly love their work, Excruciating Extermination contains 31 minutes of brutal death metal. Continue reading “Horrific Demise – Excruciating Extermination (Review)”
