Hailing from The Netherlands, this is the ninth album from legendary death metallers Asphyx.
Asphyx are a well-known band for a reason and new material from them is always welcome.
Incoming Death contains 48 minutes of colossal death metal, with huge riffs and drums that drop like bombs.
War-themed and crushingly heavy, this is an album that sweeps you away as soon as you start playing it. Sure, there are Continue reading “Asphyx – Incoming Death (Review)”
This is the second album from Deprive, a one-man death metal band from Spain.
This is thickly emotive death metal, forged in the fires of the 90s metal scene. This was a time when death metal was allowed to be slower and incorporate elements of doom/death to increase the atmosphere, and this is something that Continue reading “Deprive – Temple of the Lost Wisdom (Review)”
Harm are a German death metal band and this is their second album.
It’s been a few years since Harm’s 2013 debut album Cadaver Christi first landed like a high-explosive shell, and since then we’ve been hungry for more. Well, wait no longer, as Harm are back.
What I like about Harm is how Continue reading “Harm – The Evil (Review)”
This is the debut EP from this international, (Swedish/Spanish), death metal band.
Inert play old-school/Swedish death metal, taking influence from the likes of Dismember, Grave, Bloodbath and Entombed.
Dark growls sound as if something monolithic is being dragged through the earth. The singer Continue reading “Inert – Obliteration of the Self (Review)”
This is the latest EP from this US death metal band.
Here we have a short blast of ancient, occult death metal that reeks of the old-school and decayed corpses.
With a playing time of less than 10 minutes the band waste no time in getting down to business. These songs are mouldy examples of the atavistic art of death metal, played with the fervour of fanatics and the skill of veterans. Continue reading “Impure Consecration – Succumb to Impurity Fire (Review)”
This is the second album from Polish death metallers The Dead Goats.
Yes yes, I’m a sucker for Swedish death metal, we know this. The Dead Goats already impressed me with their last EP, Don’t Go in the Tomb, and now they return with a full 44 minutes of material. Hurrah!
Alright, the band may not be from Sweden, but Continue reading “The Dead Goats – All of Them Witches (Review)”
Abhoth are an atmospheric death metal band from Montenegro. This is their debut EP.
Keyboards are pretty much the first thing you hear upon pressing play, alongside some nicely warm-sounding drums. Then the guitars and deep, deep growls come in and you know we’re in business. Continue reading “Abhoth – Abhoth (Review)”
This is the second album from Ashcloud, a death metal band.
If you’re a death metal band and you release an album named Children of the Chainsaw, you’d better be playing old-school Swedish death metal, or it’s just a wasted opportunity. Ashcloud do exactly that, but with a few twists to the formula. This is 45 minutes of disgustingly old-school crusty death metal that will clear the cobwebs away with huge gusts of molten fumes.
In true genre-style; as well as the sickening rhythms we get plenty of Continue reading “Ashcloud – Children of the Chainsaw (Review)”
This is the third album from Dawn of Disease, a German death metal band.
Dawn of Disease seem to have honed their songwriting skills and are now channelling the spirit of 90s song-based death metal. It’s catchy, memorable and there’s more than a few twisting melodies and riffs that will stick in your head long after it’s stopped playing. Continue reading “Dawn of Disease – Worship the Grave (Review)”
This is the third album from this Brazlian death metal band.
This is death metal with its roots in the 90s scene, both in style and production. In fact, the recording on Indescribable Physiognomy of the Devil has a brutal charm all of its own. When combined with the music itself, this adds up to a pretty nice sounding album.
This may be of the old-school, but in other ways Continue reading “Coldblood – Indescribable Physiognomy of the Devil (Review)”
