This is the second album from US death metallers Contrarian.
I greatly enjoyed 2015’s Polemic, so it’s with some anticipation that I turn to their latest release. Continue reading “Contrarian – To Perceive Is to Suffer (Review)”
This is the fifth album from Desecresy, a death metal band from Finland.
Both Chasmic Transcendence and Stoic Death made very positive impressions on me, with the band’s heavy, old-school approach ticking all of the right boxes. Continue reading “Desecresy – The Mortal Horizon (Review)”
This is the debut EP from Italian death metallers Krypta.
This is a short and enjoyable EP that’s inspired by the Swedish style. At just under 18 minutes in length, it’s long enough to get your teeth into, but short enough to leave you wanting more. Continue reading “Krypta – In Torment (Review)”
This is Deny the Urge’s third album. They’re from Germany and play death metal.
Deny the Urge’s debut album Subsequent Confrontation was a real underground gem of an album, but now, well over a decade later, it’s like listening to a different band. Which is understandable when you take a look at the Continue reading “Deny the Urge – As Darkness Falls (Review)”
This is the fourth album by Execration, a Norwegian death metal band.

Now here’s one I’ve been really looking forward to. Of Terror and the Supernatural was one of my absolute favourite releases of 2014, and it seems like it has been a very long wait for this new one. Continue reading “Temple of Void – Lords of Death (Review)”
Exist are a progressive/technical death metal band from the US and this is their second album.
Exist have taken the torch from forerunners such as Atheist, Death, and Cynic, and are truly running with it. This means we get an old-school influenced version of the progressive/technical death metal style, as laid down by the aforementioned masters, despite the modern veneer and sparkling production. Continue reading “Exist – So True, So Bound (Review)”
Gravewards are a Greek death metal band and this is their debut EP.
You’ve got to love some old-school death metal, especially when it’s played like it is here and so gloriously represents the esoteric 90s style. Continue reading “Gravewards – Subconscious Lobotomy (Review)”
