Soulrot are a death metal band from Chile and this is their debut album.
Sometimes you absolutely just know that you must listen to a band as soon as you can – this was my exact reaction upon first seeing the cover of Nameless Hideous Manifestations. Who says album artwork isn’t important in the digital age? Continue reading “Soulrot – Nameless Hideous Manifestations (Review)”
Morbid Flesh are a Spanish death metal band and this is their second album.
This is the band’s follow up to their very enjoyable 2014 EP Embedded in the Ossuary. Continue reading “Morbid Flesh – Rites of the Mangled (Review)”
Cut Up are a death metal band from Sweden and this is their second album.
This is the kind of death metal album that just steamrolls all over you as soon as you press play. It’s a relentlessly savage monster throughout the playing time, showing no let up in its bloody commitment to knock you over and flatten you to a mushy corpse. Continue reading “Cut Up – Wherever They May Rot (Review)”
This is the latest demo from Swedish death metallers Creeping Flesh.
I like Creeping Flesh a lot. Their 2015 EP Rising Terror was a firmly enjoyable slab of the Swedish style of death metal, and it stuck out in my mind as a superior release from the genre. Continue reading “Creeping Flesh – Scorched (Review)”

Grave Plague are a US death metal band and this is their debut EP/demo.
With cover artwork and a band name that drew me in like a moth to a flame, I knew I had to listen to this release as soon as I could.
This short release features two tracks of ugly, primitive old-school death metal. No, I have not been disappointed. Continue reading “Grave Plague – The Infected Crypts (Review)”
This is the third album from German death metal band Deserted Fear.
I thoroughly enjoyed their second album Kingdom of Worms; it was a really solid album of death metal by a band that remembered the importance of actual songs.
Kingdom of Worms also effectively Continue reading “Deserted Fear – Dead Shores Rising (Review)”
Henry Kane is a one-man deathgrind/death metal/crust project from Sweden.
This is quite hard to classify, but essentially Den Förstörda Människans Rike is a festering, ugly mix of Swedish death metal, hardcore/crust and Swedish grind.
This is deathgrind of the highest, yet filthiest variety. Think of a mutant mix of Dismember, Nails, Anaal Nathrakh, Nasum and Martyrdöd. Continue reading “Henry Kane – Den Förstörda Människans Rike (Review)”
Lifeblind are a Swedish death metal band and this is their debut EP.
Ahhhh Swedish death metal. Always reliable, always enjoyable. Sure, it has its detractors, but when you get right down to it, what’s not to like?
Influenced by the usual suspects, (Entombed, Dismember, etc.), Continue reading “Lifeblind – Insanity Infesting Reality (Review)”
This is the debut album from this US death metal band.
Gatecreeper play old-school death metal with an authentic and passionate delivery. It’s heavy, with a crushing atmosphere and songs that are more memorable than they probably have a right to be. Continue reading “Gatecreeper – Sonoran Depravation (Review)”
