Ribspreader are a Swedish death metal band and this is their tenth album.
Brought to us by the incredibly prolific Rogga Johansson, (Down Among the Dead Men, Echelon, Megascavenger, Paganizer, Those Who Bring the Torture, and a million others), along with current/ex-members of Deicide, Inhuman Condition, Kill Division, Venom Inc., and Wombbath), Reap Humanity boasts 36 minutes of experienced death metal carnage.

This is the fourth album from German death metal band Endseeker.
Endseeker are a band that are very easy for me to like. Despite cooling on the Swedish death metal style over the years, I fail to be indifferent to Endseeker’s crushing assault. Both 2019’s The Harvest and 2021’s Mount Carcass were thoroughly enjoyable examples of the style, so will Global Worming follow in their thunderous footsteps?

Paganizer are a Swedish death metal band and this is their eleventh album.
Paganizer are a very well-respected band with an imposing body of work, (we’ve covered On the Outskirts of Hades and Land of Weeping Souls in the past). Brought to us by the legendary Rogga Johansson, (Echelon, Megascavenger, The Grotesquery, Those Who Bring the Torture, Just Before Dawn, Ursinne, and many more!), The Tower of the Morbid is 38 minutes of Grade A Swedish death metal ready to destroy. Continue reading “Paganizer – The Tower of the Morbid (Review)”
Rogga Johansson is a Swedish death metal legend and this is his second solo album.
Rogga Johansson is a man of many bands – listing groups like Paganizer, Down Among the Dead Men, and Echelon only scratches the surface. Not content with his many, many projects, he also has this eponymously named new album. As you would expect, it’s death metal, pure and undiluted. Continue reading “Rogga Johansson – Entrance to the Otherwhere (Review)”
This is the third album from Down Among the Dead Men, an international death metal/crust supergroup.
The two main members of this band have a wealth of experience between them. This includes, (but is not limited to), Echelon, Megascavenger, Paganizer, The Grotesquery, Those Who Bring the Torture, Just Before Dawn and Ursinne). Phew, that’s a lot of expertise. Continue reading “Down Among the Dead Men – …And You Will Obey Me (Review)”
Dawn of Disease are a death metal band and this is their fourth album.
I wasn’t expecting a new Dawn of Disease album so soon after last year’s enjoyable Worship the Grave, but I’m certainly not complaining about it. Continue reading “Dawn of Disease – Ascension Gate (Review)”
Paganizer are a Swedish death metal band and this is their tenth album.
Now here’s a band that are both prolific and consistently enjoyable. Swedish death metal is a distinct soft spot of mine, and Paganizer have more than proven over the years that they can deliver the goods. Continue reading “Paganizer – Land of Weeping Souls (Review)”

This is the latest EP from these Swedish death metal legends. Paganizer are always a welcome listen.
Paganizer clearly aren’t messing around on this release. With four songs in just under 14 minutes, this is all about classic-styled Swedish death metal, played with the skill of veterans by the mastercrafters Continue reading “Paganizer – On the Outskirts of Hades (Review)”
