This is the second album from Spanish death metal band Sanctuarium.
Sanctuarium play rotten old death metal with a crushing dose of fetid doom. Melted and Decomposed contains 48 minutes of foul death/doom nastiness spread over five tracks. Continue reading “Sanctuarium – Melted and Decomposed (Review)”
Brutally Deceased are from Czechia, play death metal, and this is their fourth album.
I thoroughly enjoyed 2010’s Dead Lovers’ Guide and 2016’s Satanic Corpse, so it’s been a long wait for the 29 minutes of new music that Chasms brings us. Continue reading “Brutally Deceased – Chasms (Review)”
This is the debut EP from Ignobleth, an Italian black/death metal band.
Here’s we have a passionate slab of old-school darkness. Ignobleth play war metal brutality that’s grim and sinister. Voidspawn Sacrifice combines black and death metal – with a slight leaning towards the latter – into 15 enjoyable minutes. Continue reading “Ignobleth – Voidspawn Sacrifice (Review)”
Fulci are an Italian death metal band and this is their fourth album.
Fulci have made a name for themselves by combing classic old-school death metal with equally classic old-school horror soundtrack sounds, and in this specialist area they excel. Duck Face Killings continues with Fulci’s chosen artform, and delivers a bloodthirsty 33-minute death metal masterclass. Continue reading “Fulci – Duck Face Killings (Review)”
This is a split between Draghkar and Helcaraxë, both death metal bands from the US.
I missed this earlier in the year, but here it is now, and you’d better believe it’s worth your time to give it a few spins. I’m a big fan of Draghkar, so I couldn’t let this slide by without comment, (make sure you check out World Unraveled, split with Desekryptor, The Endless Howling Abyss, and At the Crossroads of Infinity). On this split with Helcaraxë both bands offer up one song. Continue reading “Draghkar/Helcaraxë – A Glorious Call in the Terrible Darkness – Split (Review)”
Pathogenic Virulence are a death metal band from the UK and this is their second album.
Brought to us by an ex-member of Necrovile, Scourged contains 31 minutes of brutal death metal. It’s ferocious and uncompromising, yet also has more depth to it than many ostensibly similar bands. Continue reading “Pathogenic Virulence – Scourged (Review)”
Void Witch are a death metal band from the US and this is their debut album.
Void Witch play malevolent death/doom, and Horripilating Presence contains 39 minutes of the sort of material that could crush mountains flat. Continue reading “Void Witch – Horripilating Presence (Review)”
Skelethal are a French death metal band and this is their third album.
Skelethal play classic death metal and unleash 40 minutes of carnage across Within Corrosive Continuums. Built upon a sturdy foundation of old-school Swedish death metal, the music is forged from iron and molten lava. Continue reading “Skelethal – Within Corrosive Continuums (Review)”
This is the third album from US death metal band Obscene.
I enjoyed 2020’s The Inhabitable Dark and 2022’s …From Dead Horizon to Dead Horizon, so knew that Agony & Wounds was destined for my earholes. Obscene vomit forth 42 new minutes of material on this new platter, and if you liked their earlier stuff, then you should very much like this too. Continue reading “Obscene – Agony & Wounds (Review)”
This is the fourth album form Spanish death metallers Aposento.
I enjoyed 2014’s Aposento and 2017’s Bleed to Death, although I missed 2020’s Conjuring the New Apocalypse. Aposento are now back, with an almost entirely new lineup, and 34 minutes of music in the form of the muscular No Safe Haven. Continue reading “Aposento – No Safe Haven (Review)”
