This is the debut album from Canadian death metal band Scorching Tomb.
Ossuary contains 30 minutes of crushing death metal, and it offers a real treat for fans of the modern old-school, (if you know what I mean). Scorching Tomb have created a cracking record. Let’s get to it. Continue reading “Scorching Tomb – Ossuary (Review)”

This is the second album from US hardcore band Deadguy.
It’s been 30 years since 1995’s classic Fixation on a Coworker, which is so much time that I can’t even think about it. Onto more positive things then, which is the 37-minute Near-Death travel Services. A new Deadguy album was not something I expected, but here we are, and I’m extremely happy with it let me tell you. Continue reading “Deadguy – Near-Death Travel Services (Review)”
Grief Ritual are hardcore band from the UK and this is their debut album.

This is the fourth album by Danish metallic hardcore band LIfesick.
I enjoyed Lifesick when I saw them earlier this year supporting Cabal, so knew I wanted to check out the 34 minutes of Loved by None, Hated by All when it appeared. Continue reading “Lifesick – Loved by None, Hated by All (Review)”
This is the debut album from US metal band Dead Icarus.
I thoroughly enjoyed Dead Icarus’ debut EP Ad Infernum, which brought the ex-singer of Atreyu’s charismatic vocals back to the world of heavy music. Now we have the 38-minute Zealot, and Dead Icarus, (who also contain members of Enterprise Earth and Whitechapel), are on fire. Continue reading “Dead Icarus – Zealot (Review)”

This is the debut album from UK metal act Heriot.
I enjoyed 2022’s Profound Morality, so have been looking forward to Heriot unleashing a full album. I’ll tell you what too, they haven’t disappointed me. Quite the opposite in fact. Continue reading “Heriot – Devoured by the Mouth of Hell (Review)”
This is the fifth album from US metallic hardcore band 156/Silence.
People Watching contains 47 minutes of 156/Silence’s brand of crushing metalcore. It’s a contemporary blend of hardcore and metal that’s not completely what I expected it to be. Continue reading “156/Silence – People Watching (Review)”

Brought to us by experienced hands in the form of current/ex-members of bands such as Catharsis, Cursed, Earth Crisis, Enabler, Racetraitor, The Damned Things, Undying, and many others, Plagues upon Plagues showcases a leap in Sect’s musical journey when compared to their previous work, (such as 2017’s brutal No Cure for Death).
