This is the debut album from this US death metal band.
Gatecreeper play old-school death metal with an authentic and passionate delivery. It’s heavy, with a crushing atmosphere and songs that are more memorable than they probably have a right to be. Continue reading “Gatecreeper – Sonoran Depravation (Review)”
Echelon are an international death metal supergroup. This is their second album.
With a lineup that contains a huge amount of experience; like the recently released Stench Price, (which shares personnel), I’m just going to list the various members below from the press blurb for ease of clarity –
Dave Ingram (Hail of Bullets, ex-Bolt Thrower, ex-Benediction)
Rogga Johansson (Paganizer, Demiurg, Putrevore)
Johan Berglund (Ribspreader, The Grotesquery)
Kjetil Lynghaug (Johansson & Speckmann, Paganizer)
Travis Ruvo (Akatharta, Cropsy Maniac)
As you can see. These guys know a thing or two about death metal. Continue reading “Echelon – The Brimstone Aggrandizement (Review)”
Obituary are a legendary death metal band from the US and this is their latest release.
Featuring two brand new studio songs and 12 live tracks recorded during their 2015 Inked in Blood world tour, this is a Continue reading “Obituary – Ten Thousand Ways to Die (Review)”
This is the debut album by Eteritus, a death metal band from Poland.
Eteritus play old-school death metal that takes an influence from the Scandinavian scene.
The familiar criticism of most bands playing Continue reading “Eteritus – Following the Ancient Path (Review)”
The End are a death metal band from the US. This is their debut EP.
Featuring ex-members of Massacre and Death, this is 13 minutes of old-school Floridian death metal that sees the band take their Death/Massacre backgrounds and use them to craft a brutal assault that also takes more current influences into account. Continue reading “The End – Age of Apocalypse (Review)”
Brutally Deceased are from the Czech Republic and play death metal, this is their third album.
The band features members and ex-members of Heaving Earth and Jig-Ai, it seems. I really, really enjoyed the band’s debut album, Dead Lovers’ Guide, but missed their second, so on this new release it’s way overdue for me to get reacquainted with the band. Continue reading “Brutally Deceased – Satanic Corpse (Review)”
Mercyless are a French death metal band and this is their sixth album.
This is a band that have been around for quite some time at this point, and you’d better believe they know a thing or two about their killing art.
Last year’s split with Crusher was a solid example of their riff-led, ferocious style, and acted as somewhat of a taster for this new album. Continue reading “Mercyless – Pathetic Divinity (Review)”
This is the debut EP from US death metallers Deathcrown.
Raw, nasty, old-school death metal with a Swedish-styled delivery, plenty of groove, lightning solos and a modern freshness? Yes please!
The above description is all you need to know in many ways, but don’t make the mistake of dismissing Deathcrown as just another Swedish death metal clone, that would be a a grave injustice.
Sure, they play the style with Continue reading “Deathcrown – Living Hell (Review)”
Hailing from Sweden, this is the third album from death metallers Decomposed.
The band’s 2014 album Devouring was hugely enjoyable. Firmly rooted in old-school Swedish death metal, it delivered 36 minutes of very satisfyingly crushing music.
Fast forward to 2016, and we have Wither; 38 minutes of the same kind of crushing, satisfying death metal. Continue reading “Decomposed – Wither (Review)”
This is the third album from one-man death metal act Fetal Autopsy.
One-man death metal is a lot less common than one-man black metal is. This is a not a comment that really has any relevance to this review, I suppose, but there we are.
Okay, so Fetal Autopsy has 50 minutes of stocky, muscular death metal. Underground, brutal death metal is usually Continue reading “Fetal Autopsy – Backwoods Bloodshed (Review)”
