Teeth – The Will of Hate (Review)

Teeth - The Will of HateTeeth are a death metal/grindcore band from the US, and this is their third album.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed watching Teeth develop, from their split with Fister and also with Barghest, to last full length The Curse of Entropy in 2019. The Will of Hate is the band’s longest release yet, clocking in at 39 minutes of pure punishing extremity.

Nile – The Underworld Awaits Us All (Review)

Nile - The Underworld Awaits Us AllNile are a US death metal band and this is their tenth album.

It has been a long five years since 2019’s Vile Nilotic Rites, which itself came four years after 2015’s What Should Not Be Unearthed. Suffice to say, Nile albums don’t come along very often, which makes The Underworld Awaits Us All a big deal in death metal circles. Continue reading “Nile – The Underworld Awaits Us All (Review)”

Vile Rites – Senescence (Review)

Vile Rites - SenescenceVile Rites are a death metal band from the US and this is their debut album.

Vile Rites contain a member of Mortuous in their ranks, which is enough to get my attention. Senescence offers us 40 minutes of progressive death metal of a high quality. Some bands playing this sort of style get bogged down in the technicality, but for Vile Rites this is just an enabler, not the prime goal of the music.

Summoning the Lich – Under the Reviled Throne (Review)

Summoning the Lich - Under the Reviled ThroneSummoning the Lich are a death metal band from the US and this is their second album.

Summoning the Lich throw a few different influences into a brutally tasty death metal blender, and shake it with great force. The end result is Under the Reviled Throne, which serves up 40 minutes of music that takes the melodic and technical death metal styles and soaks them in fantasy-soaked flavourings. Continue reading “Summoning the Lich – Under the Reviled Throne (Review)”

Violence Inherent in the System contains 49 minutes, (with the bonus track), of mayhem. While it’s on the longer side for a death metal album, the quantity is backed up by the quality. Continue reading “Noxis – Violence Inherent in the System (Review)”

Spawned from Hate – Elective Amputation (Review)

No longer. Continue reading “Spawned from Hate – Elective Amputation (Review)”
