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.
I’m a huge fan of Execration’s third album Morbid Dimensions, and it even made the number two slot on my best of 2014 end of year list, so stuffed full of technical/progressive death metal goodness was it. Continue reading “Execration – Return to the Void (Review)”
Witch Vomit are a US death metal band and this is their latest EP.
After the underground gem that was 2016’s A Scream from the Tomb Below, the fantastically named Witch Vomit are back with a new 19 minute EP of foul, ugly death metal. Continue reading “Witch Vomit – Poisoned Blood (Review)”
Temple of Void are a death/doom band from the US and this is their second album.
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)”
Macabre Demise is a one-man German death metal band and this is his latest EP.
2015’s Homicidal Parasites was a furiously fun slab of brutality, so it’s great to now have Macabre Demise back for more with this short 12 minute EP. Continue reading “Macabre Demise – Apocalypse (Review)”
This is the fifth album from Italian death metallers Horrid.
We last encountered Horrid on Sacrilegious Fornication, where Horrid’s brutal and sinister take on death metal stood out. Continue reading “Horrid – Beyond the Dark Border (Review)”
Lifeless are a German death metal band and this is their third album.
Lifeless play classic, old-school death metal of the Swedish type. The band have been around for a while now and this is their third album, so they know a thing or two about the style. Continue reading “Lifeless – The Occult Mastery (Review)”
This is the debut album from Swedish death metal horde Gods Forsaken.
As I’ve said many times in the past – sometimes only ugly, dirty, filthy old-school Swedish death metal will do. When you absolutely can’t go any longer without a hit of the good stuff, this is where bands like Gods Forsaken come in. Continue reading “Gods Forsaken – In a Pitch Black Grave (Review)”
