I have reviewed all of Sanguisugabogg’s prior releases, so it would make sense that I reviewed their latest album, Hideous Aftermath. I predicted years ago the band was going to blow the F up, and that is precisely what has happened – I am Nostradamus. With their incessant worldwide touring, huge social media presence […]

Italy’s brutal death metal act, Demiurgon, has returned with their third long player, Miasmatic Deathless Chamber. Fans of the Italian brutal death metal scene, who are fans of Septycal Gorge (RIP), Putridity, Hideous Divinity, Devangelic, etc., must check this out. Some of these bands lean on the side of tech-death metal, and not to say […]

Unless you have been living under a rock, you have heard of Oklahoma’s PeelingFlesh. With many bands incorporating the illegible band logo technique, PeelingFlesh, believe it or not, has one of the more legible ones, and you can actually make out the letters. I have reviewed their last several releases, and hot on the heels […]

My friend, Brian Ferrell, runs the record label, Ossuary Industries, outta Texas. If you are unfamiliar with the types of death metal bands he has, I would compare his label to Sevared Records and Comatose Music. So what does that mean?? Well, it’s the ultra-brutal sort of death metal that has one goal in mind. […]

Canada’s brutal knuckle-dragging slam death metal band NecroticGoreBeast returns with this 5-song ep, titled Brute. With three full lengths already under their belt, alongside their debut demo and split ep, the new ep should tide us all over until their next album. This year has been quite the year for ultra-brutal slam death metal with […]

If you don’t know the name Darren Cesca, you certainly know the bands he has drummed for over the years: Pillory, Arsis, Goratory, Incinerate, In Asymmetry, Serpent of Gnosis, Deeds of Flesh, and what was a surprise to me, the 2006 Burn In Silence album, Angel Maker– a metalcore album drenched in keyboards. Here is […]

It’s been 5 years since Las Vegas Brutal Death metal act Cordyceps released their debut, Betrayal. And while I feel like they missed the boat by not releasing this album a little sooner, at the same time as The Last of Us TV show (where the Cordyceps mushroom is the cause of the apocalypse), as […]

I was a huge fan of brutal TXDM band Kill Everything’s 2018 debut album Scorched Earth.  There were a few split releases since, but it’s not until the lovely titled Headless Cum Dumpster that we finally get the second album. Brian Wynn – Guitars and Shane Newbrough – Drums remain intact as the sole remaining members […]

  Italian brutal death metallers Putridity returns with their fourth album, Morbid Ataraxia, their first in ten years, though they did release a nice stopgap EP Greedy Gory Gluttony, in 2023. The band has remained intact for the last several years and as with their other releases, Putridity goes straight for the jugular, not really […]

Deliquesce (to liquefy during decomposition), is an Australian brutal/tech death project from Disentomb’s Adrian Cappelletti. He’s joined by vocalist James Cooper (ex-Incarnate), bassist Armando Wall and American session drummer Lyle Cooper (Mithridatum, Humanity Is A Cancer). And it’s a bit different from the hulking, brutal death metal of Disentomb, as Deliquesce is even more technical […]

Canada’s most extreme metal band, Cryptopsy returns with their 9th full-length album, An Insatiable Violence.  I have been a fan since the very early days.  When I joined Internal Bleeding in 1994, Cryptopsy were just gaining steam, and we played a string of shows together with them in Canada and some fests here in the […]

Welp, I had literally forgotten about Germany’s brutal death metal/slam band Pighead. It’s been 9 years since they released their 3rd album – Until All Flesh Decays. During that time, the original member, Denny H. (guitars), lost many members, to the extent that he had to put the band back together over the last several […]

Welp, I had literally forgotten about Italy’s slamtastic drum machined Vulvectomy!  With three albums already under their belt, the last one being 12 years ago, I just kinda figured they packed up their slam sammiches and boogied on outta here.  Main man Mario Di Giambattista is still kicking it with his guitars and programmed drums, […]

Finland is not the usual place where brutal slam death metal is released from.  Yet here we are with the debut album from Putrid Defecation.  The band has slung together some splits and ep’s over the last several years however Tales from the Toilet is their debut album.  The band lists this as a full-length […]

Cerebral Hemorrhage was a short-lived NYDM from the late 90’s to the early 00’s.  In 2001 they released their only album Exempting Reality.  They combined the slam and style of Internal Bleeding, Dehumanized, and Repudilation.  All NY slam bands and I’ve even read online reviews about the debut album and vocalist Matthew Szablewicz being compared […]

I love the Alien film franchise—yes, even Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection. I also love brutal slamming death metal/deathcore. Italy’s Hideous Divinity mixed the two on their LV426 EP back in 2021, but France’s Xenotheory has entered the fray with their second album does to the genre what Aliens did to the films. Their 2022 […]

After a pretty extensive stay with Willowtip Records Defeated Sanity was snatched up by Season of Mist and Chronicles of Lunacy is their first release for their new label.  This is their seventh full-length album and Defeated Sanity knows how to pack a solid uppercut with streamlined songs.  It fits them best since they’re pretty […]

Lublin Poland’s Deivos return with their Seventh full-length album Apophenia. Deivos plays a very groovy style of technical death metal that is quite pummeling. Things get kicked off with a fury with “Feretory.”  One thing I noticed off the bat from last record is that the production is much brighter. “My Sacrifice” opens with some […]

I have reviewed my fair share of brutal death metal this year and overall the brutality of some of the releases such as: PeelingFlesh, Cephalotripsy, Werewolves, and Brodequin are top scores.  Also the old/new Extermination Dismemberment is creating havoc out there in the slam genre. Nothing really prepared me for a band I had never […]

I have reviewed Oklahoma’s PeelingFlesh last several EP’s and now they have dropped their debut album The G Code.  For anyone unfamiliar with this band, take brutal slam death metal and mix it with hardcore and hip-hop/urban stylized rap/samples.  I find this new style of brutal music quite exciting and furthering this genre which can […]

I reviewed South Africa’s brutal death metal/deathcore band Vulvodynia’s Praenuntius Infiniti album three years ago and was super impressed with the album, seeing I had been a recent fan of theirs and that was their best album up to that point. The signing to Unique Leader Records propelled the band as well and put the […]

August 23rd 20024 saw both Fleshgod Apocalypse and Nile release new albums. That’s the music equivalent if Deadpool  & Wolverine and Alien Romulus had been released on the same day. I love both but one has to be listened to and reviewed first,  and be seen first. Well, hopefully, you already read my review of […]

California’s Cephalotripsy dropped one of the most disgusting, brutal slam-filled filthy debut albums in death metal history with Uterovaginal Insertion of Extirpated Anomalies in 2007.  The album cover alone was the price of admission!!  Outside of his other bands, some years later, such as Abominable Putridity, this is the album that put vocalist Angel Ochoa […]

Spain’s Wormed has been around for over 25 years – wow how time really flies into a space vortex!!!  The band takes their time with releasing albums and other than a 2019 stop-gap EP Metaportal, which I reviewed, Omegon has taken eight years to come out since the scorching Krighsu. Omegon is Wormed’s fourth album […]

Formerly known as Epitasis, Chicago’s Carrion Throne is listed as a Doom/Death band on Metal-Archives, but after hearing this debut EP, I’m more inclined to list them as a more Brutal/Slam Death metal band more in line with Devourment and Wormed. The 6 songs here (4 new songs and 2 demo songs from 2022) are […]
