Beyond What Eyes Can See contains 45 minutes of music divided into four epic songs.

This is the ninth album by US death metallers Drawn and Quartered.
Drawn and Quartered are a very good death metal band, with a history of strong releases. They are the kind of band that can take similar components that are used so well by acts such as Immolation and Incantation, yet manage to fuse these into something that has a personality of its own. At this point in their career Drawn and Quartered have more than shown their talent and longevity in the death metal game, so Lord of Two Horns is an eagerly anticipated release. Continue reading “Drawn and Quartered – Lord of Two Horns (Review)”

On Retaliate Serpent Corpse have pushed themselves further, with longer songs and a wider breadth of deathly vision. Continue reading “Serpent Corpse – Retaliate (Review)”
