Hanging the Nihilist are a blackened deathcore band from Denmark and this is their debut album.
Prophetic Blasphemy contains 42 minutes of brutal modern blackened deathcore. Riven with huge breakdowns and enhanced with blackened malevolence, Prophetic Blasphemy is on the darker, heavier side of the deathcore spectrum, and I like what I hear.

Suicide Silence are an extreme metal band from the US and this is their sixth album.
2017’s self-titled album was an enjoyable throwback to the nu-metal era, replete with all of the requisite parts you would expect from such a release. On Become the Hunter Suicide Silence leave behind the experimental nature of their fifth album and instead focus on the more familiar extreme metal ground that they are known for. Continue reading “Suicide Silence – Become the Hunter (Review)”
Aenimus are a modern death metal band and this is their second album. They are from the US.
Aenimus fuse a range of different styles into their modern death metal. It’s progressive and technical, and takes parts of the djent and deathcore styles into itself quite easily. The music twists and turns with a futuristic Continue reading “Aenimus – Dreamcatcher (Review)”
This is the second album from Oblivion, a death metal band from the US.
It seems like forever since Oblivion’s debut album Called to Rise was unleashed on an unsuspecting world, but it was only actually in 2013 that we got our first proper taste of what this band were capable of. Continue reading “Oblivion – The Path Towards… (Review)”
Maou Mindu are a deathgrind band from Canada and this is their debut EP.
Gotta love deathgrind. Taking the direct, lethal assault of grindcore and combining it with the extra depth that death metal can allow, it frequently marries the two together in strong and sexy ways. In the case of Maou Mindu, the results are very sexy indeed. Continue reading “Maou Mindu – Grind Against Humanity (Review)”
Funeral for the Masses are a Finnish deathcore band and this is their debut EP.
Full of heavy riffs and sick breakdowns, the music is actually relatively old-school as far as deathcore goes, although they still have a modern delivery mixed in. Continue reading “Funeral for the Masses – Pitch Black (Review)”
Suicide Silence are a metal band from the US and this is their fifth album.
I haven’t heard anything Suicide Silence have done since their 2009 album No Time to Bleed, so was very interested to finally catch up with them once more. I didn’t expect them to be the same band, of course, and they really aren’t. Continue reading “Suicide Silence – Suicide Silence (Review)”
This is the second album from US metalcore band Forty Winters.
This is metalcore in its original, hard-as-nails metallic hardcore incarnation, before the advent of sing-along choruses and radio-friendly unit shifters. Forty Winters mean business, and they’re here to stomp all over your breakfast.
This is angry music for angry people doing angry things. If you get off on bands like Hatebreed, Himsa, Thy Art Is Murder, Suicide Silence, Walls of Jericho, Darkest Hour and the like, then this should be Continue reading “Forty Winters – Rotting Empire (Review)”
