This is the ninth album from US deathcore/death metal band Whitechapel.
I do so enjoy a new Whitechapel album. Our Endless War, Mark of the Blade, The Valley, Kin – take your pick; all Whitechapel albums have something a to offer, and all hit the spot for yours truly.

This is the debut album from US metal band Dead Icarus.
I thoroughly enjoyed Dead Icarus’ debut EP Ad Infernum, which brought the ex-singer of Atreyu’s charismatic vocals back to the world of heavy music. Now we have the 38-minute Zealot, and Dead Icarus, (who also contain members of Enterprise Earth and Whitechapel), are on fire. Continue reading “Dead Icarus – Zealot (Review)”
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.

After the advances in style and songwriting of The Valley, Kin continues where that album left off, treading similar ground, while also broadening the band’s stylistic reach further. Continue reading “Whitechapel – Kin (Review)”
