Listen, I know I’m late on this one. I know it’s a pretty high-profile release from a revered band with a tragic backstory. But truth be told, I have not really heard much of this post-Windir act past 2006’s Pitch Black Brigade. In fact, I had no idea they were still active, let alone released an […]
Long-running Floridian death metalers Monstrosity return with their seventh full-length album, Screams from Beneath the Surface. It’s been eight long years since they released their last album, The Passage of Existence, which was an amazing album, and I loved the artwork as well. The band has made some odd choices in album covers, such as […]
I was given the choice to review the new Rob Zombie album, The Great Satan, and while I haven’t been impressed with his solo output since The Sinister Urge, I decided to do it. My pre-conceived notions of it being just an album on which to tour were at the front of my mind, but […]
California’s long-running death grind outfit Exhumed returns with Red Asphalt, their ninth full-length album of original songs. I left out some of their covers/retrospective albums. The band has remained intact since 2018, and with Matt Harvey (vox/guitars), leading the charge, his band of goremongers- Ross Sewage (vox/bass), Mike Hamilton (drums), and Sebastian Phillips (guitars) return […]
Giorgio’s Everlasting Spew Records has a bunch of quality death metal acts on its roster. A few years ago, Brazil’s Fossilization came into fruition and since then have released an EP, in 2021, He Whose Name Was Long Forgotten, and their debut album, in 2023, Leprous Daylight. There have been some line-up shifts since the […]
Though they have been pretty heavy on the deathcore of late (Lorna Shore, Mental Cruelty, Signs of the Swarm, Distant, Ov Sulphur, Vomit Forth, etc.), Century Media still has actually also done a pretty good job of finding some excellent death metal on their roster, too. There is, of course, Sanguisugabogg, but also Blood Incantation, Frozen […]
17 friggin’ albums. More hits than misses in the Megadeth discography. Megadeth is the final album by Dave Mustaine, the sole remaining original member. Throughout his career, he’s rarely had a consistent line-up, and I liken him to Chuck Schuldiner (RIP) from Death. With the ever-changing live and full-time musicians. However, both individuals knew how […]
Germany’s best thrash metal band, Kreator, return with their 16th full-length album, Krushers of the World. When we look at the Big 4, regardless of your thoughts, it is based on album sales and overall popularity relating to tours,etc.., and they are rightfully: Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax. When looking at what the second Big […]
‘Uhhh huh huh. Hey, baby. I heard you like The Black Dahlia Murder’. I have smoothly pressed “Power” on the remote on my living room 10-disc CD changer, which slides out smoothly as I casually drop the new Carrion Vael album, Slay Utterly, into the not-at-all-too-large or gaudy apparatus. It closes instantly because it’s the […]
Love it or hate it, Deathcore is here to stay, folks. You can not like that fact, but accepting it will make it far less frustrating for you. I make no bones about loving the genre and the city of sin, Las Vegas, which sports a nifty deathcore band, Ov Sulfur. In 2021, they released […]
Well, that’s 2025 in the books. And as 2026 looks to be starting off with a literal bang ( or war), here is the music our staff enjoyed on 2025.
Happy Holidays from TeethoftheDivine!!!
Phobocosm, hailing from Montréal, Quebec, have been slinging their brand of darkness since around 2008, but did not pop onto the scene with a release until their debut album, Deprived, in 2014. All of their releases have been on Matt Calvert’s awesome Dark Descent Records. Gateway is the band’s fourth studio album, and we get […]
I’ve heard some weird shit this year, admittedly, I hear weird shit every year because that’s what I look for on promo day. Weird shit. Well, I got super excited this last time because guess what I got? The promo from the Czechian legends, Master’s Hammer, entitled Maldorör Disco… YEAH, BOY! I’m about to admit […]
Hello! Welcome to my review of the brand spanking new Testament album entitled Parabellum. I plan on being as fair as possible. This is their fourteenth album, so they have a sizeable back catalog to compare Para Bellum with previous albums. The first thing I notice right off the bat is the amount of blast […]
Occasionally, believe it or not, I listen to things other than deathcore, death metal, or symphonic black metal. Yep- even I have to have a palate cleanser or reset or guilty pleasure, or whatever you want to call it. And for me, it’s super cheesy power metal. And not normal power metal- I fall hard […]
Centinex has been spreading OSSDM (Old School Swedish Death Metal) to the masses since 1991 with their aptly titled Stupid Humanity demo, it came out the year I graduated, as a matter of fact. Now that I’m feeling old as fuck, I’m loving the nostalgia brought on with their amazing new album, With Guts and […]
So, the last time I sat down to review a 1914 record (2021’s Where Fear and Weapons Meet), the geopolitical landscape of the world was in a very different place. Suffice to say that the world just 4 years ago, even in the midst of a global pandemic, somehow seemed like much less bleak and desperate a time […]
NYHC in da house mofos!!!!! Echoes In Eternity is the 13th studio album from NHYC legends Agnostic Front. I had the pleasure of seeing them live at The Ritz in NYC in 1991. Headliners were the mighty S.O.D. – this show was video recorded and became the legendary Live at Budokan show. Opening the show […]
In psychology, the term ‘Shadow Work’ is used to describe the process of exploring the unconscious reasons behind your feelings or behaviors, particularly uncomfortable emotions that seem out of character or beyond your control. Like, “Why do I hate my co-worker?”?. Yay! I finally used my college degree. So what is Despised Icon trying to […]
What can be said about Switzerland’s Coroner at this point, right?! A few things to point out before getting into Dissonance Theory, their 6th album. Their last album, the disjointed Grin, released in 1993, polarized fans, and this new one, quite honestly, is the comeback album Dark Angel should have written. That is how great […]
It’s weird. I own a bunch of Soulfly albums. When recently checking my CD collection, I saw that I actually possess albums like Savages, Ritual, Archangel, Dark Ages, Omen, Conquer, as well as the band’s first three or four more tribal, famous/popular efforts, such as Soulfly, Primitive, 3, and Prophecy. But the thing is, because […]
NY Hardcore legends Biohazard have returned with their 10th studio album, Divided We Fall, with the original band back together, once again like their last album, in 2012 – Reborn in Defiance. Evan had left right after, but returned in 2014. So Billy Graziadei – vocals/guitar, Bobby Hambel – lead guitar, Danny Schuler – drums, […]
A new Revocation album has arrived, and while that’s exciting news for me, not so much for my brothers in writing for Teeth. The band is now approaching 20 years of activity and is at this point a stalwart of the tech/death/thrash sub-genre. Call it “progressive” if you’d like as well. For my money, which […]
Paradise Lost needs no introduction. And unless you have lived under a rock for 30 years, you are bound to be aware of their vast history and legacy, transforming from a pure death doom band, being part of the UK 90s Doom trinity along with My Dying Bride and Anathema, to a Gothic metal act, […]
