Depravity are an Australian death metal band and this is their third album.
It’s been a while since 2018’s Evil Upheaval and 2020’s Grand Malevolence, but both records made their mark. Well, 2025 marks the return of the mighty Depravity, so can Bestial Possession clear the high bar set by its two predecessors? Continue reading “Depravity – Bestial Possession (Review)”
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)”
Sanguisugabogg are a death metal band from the US and this is their third album.
Following on from 2023’s Homicidal Ecstasy comes the 48-minute Hideous Aftermath. Sanguisugabogg have created a limbering death metal monster. Laying bloody waste to all around it, it’s ridiculously enjoyable and well-crafted. Yep, this beats Homicidal Ecstasy to death and revels in its destruction. As much as I liked that record, this is superior in every way that counts. Continue reading “Sanguisugabogg – Hideous Aftermath (Review)”
De Profundis are a death metal band from the UK and this is their latest EP.
I have a lot of time for De Profundis. If you haven’t already, check out 2014’s Frequencies, 2015’s Kingdom of the Blind, 2018’s The Blinding Light of Faith, and 2022’s The Corruption of Virtue. All are well-worth your time. The band are now back with The Gospel of Rot, which brings us four tracks across 17-minutes, as well as a new bassist and singer. Continue reading “De Profundis – The Gospel of Rot (Review)”
This is the fifth album from US death metal band Fallujah.
Fallujah have a storied list of releases at this point, (The Flesh Prevails, Dreamless, Undying Light, Empyrean), all worth getting your teeth into. After the slight dip in quality that was Undying Light, Fallujah returned very strong with Empyrean. All of which means I have been interested to see what the 42-minute Xenotaph brings us this time around. Continue reading “Fallujah – Xenotaph (Review)”
This is the second album from US death metallers Ominous Ruin.
Following on from 2021’s enjoyable Amidst Voices That Echo in Stone, Ominous Ruin have returned, now with a new vocalist. Requiem brings us 40 minutes of technical/brutal death metal, and it’s pretty damn good. Continue reading “Ominous Ruin – Requiem (Review)”
This is the seventh album from US death metallers Allegaeon.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all of the Allegaeon albums I’ve heard, (2016’s Proponent for Sentience, 2019’s Apoptosis, and 2022’s Damnum), and each has been better than the last. Now Allegaeon are back with the 46-minute The Ossuary Lens, (their shortest album so far), and have changed singer, with their their original vocalist returning to the fold. Let’s see what they have to offer us this time around. Continue reading “Allegaeon – The Ossuary Lens (Review)”
Celestial Scourge are a Norwegian death metal band and this is their debut album.
Featuring members of Blood Red Throne and Deception, Celestial Scourge are here to destroy. Observers of the Inevitable contains 30 minutes of brutal technical death metal, and it’s a raging mass of controlled savagery. Continue reading “Celestial Scourge – Observers of the Inevitable (Review)”
This is the debut album from UK death metallers Mutagenic Host.
The Diseased Machine is a 41-minute death metal album that will smash you to the ground, stomp on your body, and cover you in sickness. Yep, it’s Mutagenic Host, and they’re here to deliver a gospel of disease. Continue reading “Mutagenic Host – The Diseased Machine (Review)”
This is the latest EP from Beyond Grace, a death metal band from the UK.
Beyond Grace are top tier band that shockingly few people seem to be aware of. All of their discography, (Monstrous, Seekers, Our Kingdom Undone, and Welcome to the New Dark Ages, Part 1), is worth spending time with, so it’s with high expectations that we turn to Welcome to the New Dark Ages, Part 2. Continue reading “Beyond Grace – Welcome to the New Dark Ages, Part 2 (Review)”
