Germany’s and personal favorite Revel in Flesh return with their 5th long player and The Hour of the Avenger shows a more mature Revel in Flesh where they continue to allow their riffs to breathe a little longer. I’ve been in touch with their singer, Ralf for years now and consider him a friend. We […]
I am new to the Obsequiae hype train and after my good buddy Graham, from Deepsend Records-RIP, recommended this album to me, I could not be more than happier with his recommendation. Under this name the band has been around for over a decade and released Suspended in the Brume of Eos in 2011 and […]
Long Island New York death metal act, Day of Doom return with their 5th album, Epitaph of the Darklord, on their own newly created label-3 Demon Records. I reviewed their previous album, Descent of Humanity on here back in 2017 and I feel Epitaph of the Darklord is their finest work to date. Starting off […]
Relatively new to the death metal scene, Connecticut’s Vomit Forth have been acquired by Maggot Stomp to take both the 2018 Vomit Forth demo and Inherit Laceration ep and throw them on a cd combining the 2 new songs in 2019, making up the Northeastern Deprivation for a total of 9 songs on this compilation […]
The mid-west part of the US has always been a hotbed of brutal and killer death metal. This album features current and former members of bands such as: Lividity, Putrid Pile, Necrotic Disgorgement, Regurgitation and Gorgasm, just to name a few, in case you were counting. Matt Bishop (longtime friend) on vocals/guitar, Tony Tipton-guitar, Phil […]
Hailing from Denver, Colorado Blood Incantation return with their sophomore album Hidden History of the Human Race, the follow-up to the monstrous 2016 debut, Starspawn, which I reviewed on this very site. In their existence since 2011 Blood Incantation has garnered a well-deserved reputation for their raging live show and yes live, they’re one of […]
Formed at the end of the 80’s Pentacle has remained a staple in the underground death metal scene and helping to push forth the Netherlands metal scene, which is one of the best, in my opinion. With the members in various other bands and still to this day, we have Alex and Mike Verhoeven on […]
Born from the most treacherous and violent sewers in Delaware, Flesh Tomb unleash their debut ep-Torn From The Womb of The Sky. Zach Wilson on vox, Ryan Giordano-guitar, Jack Mulvanerty on bass and Ladon Vance on drums this 6 song 14 minute ep will fly by you so fast, heads will be lopped off pathetic […]
Honestly the first time I saw the band name Sanguisugabogg I tried pronouncing it so quickly that it came out sounding like shish kabob. Couple that with a logo that seems to be the new thing where it’s impossible to read so you’re spending your valuable time trying to decipher if you can find a […]
Lots of long overdue comeback albums this year: Possessed, Sacred Reich, Nocturnus and add Exhorder to that growing list too. Longtime original members from the first 2 classic albums Slaughter in the Vatican from 1990 and The Law in 1992, Kyle Thomas-vocals and Vinnie LaBella-guitar return to the fold to resurrect this once great, but […]
Spain’s Wormed, I can’t believe it, have already been around for 20 years. Holy crap how time flies. I would assume this little ditty of an ep, in the spherical form of Metaportal is a precursor to Wormed’s fourth full-length album. I have been a huge fan of the band and have met them on […]
Finland’s Desecresy return with their 6th album and second as a one man act after Jarno Nurmi, vocals, departed after the Stoic Death album. Tommi Grönqvist continues along playing all instruments and singing and Towards Nebulae continues with the depressive, atmospheric and bulldozer heaviness we have come to expect from this great act. Opening with “The Gate”, this is one of […]
Virginia’s blackened death metal band, Warthrone, return with their second album, and this follow-up to their debut: Venomassacre, showcases the band pummel the listener again and again and again. The band further stream lining their line-up with now Erik and his wife Kristel as the members. Erik plays drums, guitars and now is back to […]
Texas has quite a nice death metal scene. With Devourment, Kill Everything, and many others…but don’t forget about Prophecy. With Foreseen Scriptures as their 5th album, being newly released I would love to see them do some major touring, because this album destroys from beginning to end. You want pure brutal American blood-flowing death […]
Arizona Thrash veterans , Sacred Reich, return with their first full length since, Heal, from 1996. Awakening is their 5th full length and after reforming years ago the band has made it more than a reunion, because unlike a lot of bands reuniting Sacred Reich actually recorded a new album, rather than continuing to rest on their laurels and tour […]
Virginia’s Witch-Hunt were together for 10 years from 1992-2002 and played a very early form of death metal/thrash, which eventually went towards a black metal sound towards the last few years of their existence. This anthology collection compiles the majority of their songs throughout their releases, which are: Both 1993 demo’s Born Dead and Fearless, […]
New Yorks’ Immortal Suffering return with their second full-length album and a real nice follow-up to their long awaited debut in 2015, the awesome, yet very short Asylum. Since that record the newest member is Randall Reekstin on drums. The rest of the band staying intact with Joe Provvisiero and Leo Bakman on guitars, John […]
Chicago’s progressive-thrash metal/crossover band Aftermath return with the follow-up to their 1994 debut-Eyes of Tomorrow, with There is Something Wrong. Aftermath reformed in 2014 and this album has Charlie Tsiolis on vox, Steve Sacco on guitar, Ray Schmidt on drums and George Lagis on bass. So being away for so long and your second album […]
After a decade plus of lying dormant Portland Oregon’s death metal gore/grind band Lord Gore decided to sew the limbs, eyeballs and heads together and bring the band back from the grave. Lord Gore released 2 of the best gore grind death metal albums in the early 00’s. The Autophagous Orgy in 2002 and Resickened […]
Hailing from North Vancouver, Canada Angelmaker return with their third official release and this is their second full-length album-follow-up to their powerful 2015 Dissentient album. Once again independently released by the band this self-titled album sees the 6-piece deathcore act steamroll their deathcore competition. 14 songs in 49 minutes the band brings the quality and […]
Chug…chug… chug….blast…blast…blast…limbs are crushed…sinkholes erupt…lava explodes….ripped off heads…atomic blast…sky is torn…chest collapsing…atmosphere no more…planet dies……………….Yes, Devourment are back with their 5th album-Obscene Majesty, and their longest album yet at 47 minutes. They figured let us just bludgeon the listener more and more and if we do it longer than the beginning above part of this […]
Hailing from Russia, Atrophied have been around for several years and finally have released their debut album: Pendulum of Extremes. 7 songs in under a half hour, the band wastes little time with intros and gets right into a Suffocation type of blasting with “Relentless Flow”. The blasting actually reminds me of Suffo’s second album-Breeding […]
Ohio’s Embalmer are one of the longest running active death metal bands out there today. Like all death metal bands that have been around for 20+ years there have been line-up changes along the way. I’ve been an Embalmer fan since 1993 and have not looked back. Throughout the years they have put out 2 […]
Norway’s Darkthrone return with their 18th album and Old Star is ass-kicking from start to finish. First a few things. Outside of Bathory’s first 6 albums and the 2 Nordland albums, Darkthrone are my favorite black metal band of all time and this is coming from a person that only dabbles in the black metal genre and not full on into all the bands, as many know […]
It’s been 6 years since New Jersey’s Embludgeonment released their brutal debut album, Infinite Regress. Now after the wait their follow-up, Barn Burner sees its release on the excellent Comatose Music label. How about let’s bring in John Hartman from Mortal Decay to add that extra bit of brutal spice.
