This is the ninth album from US death metal band Revocation.
Revocation are a band I always enjoy. From 2016’s Great Is Our Sin onwards, (which includes 2018’s The Outer Ones and 2022’s Netherheaven), I’ve devoured each new release hungrily. On their new outing New Gods, New Masters, Revocation return triumphant, with 46 minutes of new material. Continue reading “Revocation – New Gods, New Masters (Review)”
This is the third album from Swedish death metal band Carnosus.

This is the second album from Devils Reef, a death metal band from the US.
Following on from 2021’s Chosen by the Sea, The Droste Observer is an evolved form of this death metal predator. Offering up a lean, mean 36 minutes of new material, Devils Reef demonstrate that they are worth being mentioned in the same breath as bands like Revocation, The Black Dahlia Murder, Obscura, Allegaeon, Black Crown Initiate, and the like.

Carnosus are a Swedish death metal band and this is their second album.
Carnosus play a technical form of death metal that’s riven with melodic highlights and fitted with thrash metal prosthetics. Across 35 head-spinning minutes Visions of Infinihility blends the old-school with the new to produce a ripping journey into idiosyncratic tech death. Continue reading “Carnosus – Visions of Infinihility (Review)”
This is the eighth album from Revocation, a US death metal band.
I really enjoyed 2018’s The Outer Ones, (as well as its predecessor Great Is Our Sin), so have been looking forward to this one. Whereas The Outer Ones saw the band wading further into death metal waters, does Netherheaven see them retreating to safer depths? Continue reading “Revocation – Netherheaven (Review)”

Continue reading “Artificial Brain – Artificial Brain (Review)”
