Unearthly Rites are a Finnish death metal band and this is their second album.
Tortural Symphony of the Flesh is the 40-minute follow up to 2024’s Ecdysis, bringing us another filth-ridden slab of death/crust/sludge/grind/doom from Unearthly Rites. Strap yourself in, and get ready for something Continue reading “Unearthly Rites – Tortural Symphony of the Flesh (Review)”
This is the third album from UK death metallers Cryptworm.
Infectious Pathological Waste offers up a 35-minute festering cesspit of death metal nastiness. Served to us by current and ex-members of Coffinborn, Cryptic Shift, and Rothadás, Cryptworm arrive covered in Continue reading “Cryptworm – Infectious Pathological Waste (Review)”
This is the second album from Canadian death metallers Egregore.
It Echoes in the Wild is brought to us by current/ex-members of Mitochondrion and Funeral Circle, and is a light-swallowing maelstrom of black/death metal horror. Egregore have a well-developed personality, and this record allows them 48 minutes to express this freely. The results are Continue reading “Egregore – It Echoes in the Wild (Review)”
This is the fifth album from US death/doom band Temple of Void.
It’s safe to say I’m a fan of Temple of Void. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all of the band’s albums, (Of Terror and the Supernatural, Lords of Death, The World That Was, and Summoning the Slayer), bought the t-shirt, and one day hope to catch them live. Until then, we have a brand spanking new record to eagerly devour – The Crawl, which Continue reading “Temple of Void – The Crawl (Review)”
This is the latest EP from US death metallers Necronomicon ex Mortis.
I enjoyed my introduction to Necronomicon ex Mortis last year via their split with Bloodfeast Ritual, so was glad to see a new EP appear. Six songs, 30 minutes; Zombie Blood Nightmare offers up a treasure trove of old-school death metal blood-soaked gems to sift through. Continue reading “Necronomicon ex Mortis – Zombie Blood Nightmare (Review)”
This is the fifth album from German death metallers Slaughterday.
I really like Slaughterday. I’ve been following them since 2013’s very tasty Nightmare Vortex, through the following year’s Ravenous, 2016’s Laws of the Occult, 2018’s Abattoir, to their last album in 2020 – Ancient Death Triumph. Hold on though, it turns out Continue reading “Slaughterday – Dread Emperor (Review)”
This is the second album from Japanese death metallers Invictus.
Delivering 35 minutes of old-school death metal devastation, Nocturnal Visions arrives with the impact of a meteor. Invictus are not messing around. Apart from the seemingly mandatory pointless intro, there’s Continue reading “Invictus – Nocturnal Visions (Review)”
This is the second album from international death metallers Mors Verum.
Brought to us by current and ex-members of Æpoch, (amongst other bands), Canvas contains 31 minutes of material. Mors Verum play their death metal in a non-standard way that really pays off, offering up something different to the norm that’s very good indeed. Continue reading “Mors Verum – Canvas (Review)”
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)”
