Admittedly, I’ve been pretty locked in to the milder side of my metal spectrum; melodic black metal, symphonic deathcore, etc. However, I did randomly have a craving for Sweden’s Deranged, and fired up Deranged, , Rated X, and Plainfield Cemetery. ( I never heard anything past Plainfield…I should probably rectify that). I had a pretty […]
Hailing from New York, Thætas, has returned, and the band has remained intact all this time. Their 2020 debut album, Shrines to Absurdity, was a banger in the brutal technical death metal style they play. Nick Crifo – Drums, Terrell Grannum/ Pat Hawkins – Guitars, and Cory Monster – Vocals/Bass have created a storm with […]
Spinebuster Entertainment is the new label created by the founders of Transcending the Mundane, an excellent print magazine/zine that ran from 1996-2006, and the third album from Canada’s Ethereal Void is one of their first releases. The trio, comprised of Vollicide, Logan Mayhem, and Nemesis, don’t have much information out there about their background (except […]
The death metal scene welcomes The Enmity Offensive, right out of Minnesota. This Inducing Oblivion EP is their first-ever release and features Derf Plurtleson on guitar, Jake Martin on vox, Jake LeMay on drums, and two former Anal Blast members, aptly Wes Mantooth on bass and former scribe here at Teeth of the Divine, Nick […]
After 4 albums and a few splits/EPs of damn solid Swedish-style death metal, Germany’s Endseeker is calling it quits, and this 5-song EP is their swan song. I missed the last full-length, 2023’s Global Worming, but I enjoyed the last album I heard, 2021’s Mount Carcass. The band was always one of the better Dismember […]
Well. My gasts have been flabbered recently by this til now pretty dormant band called Seven Chains. Their debut Seven Chains came out in 2016, followed by Thus She Speaks, the Spiraling Maranatha (2020)… and then crickets. Now here we are in 2026 with Swollen, In Flux, and it’s my first exposure to their weird […]
I’ve been listening to and reviewing albums from Scotland’s Scordatura since their 2013 debut, Torment the Weak, and follow-up Mass Failure in 2020. I’ve enjoyed them, but can’t say they really grab me, and frankly, I always thought Man Must Die was the superior Scottish death metal act. Well, with Man Must Die and the […]
2026 is shaping up to be one helluva year for brutal slamming death metal releases. Sickbay, outta New York, has released two prior albums and a plethora of EPs. My man Brian, in charge of Ossuary Industries, as well as Dakota, know the free agents in death metal. Seeing that Sickbay had been garnering some […]
Ravaged by the Yeti is the latest album churned out by the riff factory that is Rogga Johansson. By my count, this is his 234th project (I was told there would be no fact-checking), and I simply don’t know how the man does it. He seriously has nearly fifty bands listed as active on Metal […]
Inscribed is a new death/thrash metal band hailing from Florida and after a demo, released a nifty little EP In Silent Oblivion, in 2024. A three-piece band with Evie Austin (Cemetery Filth) on bass, Lucas Moore – drums/vox and Mario Alvarez shredding on guitar. If you’re into bands like Sadus, Warbringer, Cynic/latter Death, you will […]
There have been cover bands since the dawn of music. Now, I realize that Left to Die is a bit more than just a cover band. The band features Death alum Rick Rozz and Terry Butler, as well as Matt Harvey, who also basically has another Death cover band in Gruesome. For years now, they’ve […]
We have covered Chicago’s death metal veterans a lot here at Teeth of TeethoftheDivine. I mean a lot; 3 interviews, 5 album reviews. I personally haven’t really dug into them since 2011’s Kill on Command, still their best album in my humble opinion, and I have not reviewed them since 2013’s Terror Regime. They released […]
I have reviewed Chicago’s brutal death metal band Embryonic Autopsy’s last two albums. Here we are with album three – Rise of the Mutated. How well does this stack up against their past efforts? Well, read on for that info. Staying intact for the last several years has made the brutal quartet more cohesive; that’s […]
Slovakian blackened death metal act Goholor (enochian for ‘ascend’) has been around since 2016, but Locus Damnatorum is their debut album. Either way, they are new to me, but on this debut, they have dropped one of my favorite albums of the year so far. Leaning a little more into the death side of blackened […]
After a 12-year layoff, Germany’s preeminent Swedish-style death metal veterans, Fleshcrawl (who I am now learning were called both Morgoth and Suffocation back when they started, and finally switched to Fleshcrawl for obvious reasons), reemerged into the fray with the solid Into the Catacombs of Flesh back in 2019. And now, after 7 years, some […]
I’ll give you one guess what a new super group featuring Devin Swank on vocals (Sanguisugabogg), Eric Morotti on drums (Suffocation), Derek Boyer on bass (Suffocation), and Rich Nagasawa on guitar (ex-Dehumanized) AND features guest vocal spots from Frank Mullen (ex-Suffocation) sounds like? Yeah, if this thing were any more New Yawk, it would say “I’m […]
For a while there in the early and mid 00s, Chicago’s Lair of the Minotaur was where one of the most metal fucking bands out there. The Steve Rathbone (7000 Dying Rats) led project, joined at times by the likes of Larry Herwig (Pelican), Chris Wozniak (Serpent Crown), Nate Olp (Demiricous), and others, kicked out […]
Guitarist/Vocalist Paul Gillis has been at it in the scene for thirty years, and when Morgue Supplier got going, he was a man with a plan. Create brutal death metal that will rip heads off from here to the end of the world. Mastering the Disease is the band’s fourth album, and Stephen Reichelt once […]
I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing the first two albums from Bolt Thro.. I mean Frozen Soul, and I have enjoyed all their material, dating back to their Maggot Stomp days. I truly hope they give credit to Scott, since he helped them initially. By album number three, you want to see the band continue […]
NY/NJ death metal act Reeking Aura is back with their second album, On the Promise of the Moon. I really enjoyed their interesting, ambient, and brutal debut album Blood and Bonemeal, from 2022. I thought it was an improvement over their debut 2020 EP, Beneath the Canopy of Compost. Guitarists Terrell Grannum, Rick Habeeb, and vocalist […]
It’s been over a decade since I last heard Egypt’s Scarab, on their second album, Serpents of the Nile, back in 2015. They released an album in 2020, which I own, called Martyrs of the Storm, and it slays, but I never got around to reviewing it. But not much has changed other than a […]
Mike and Horror Pain Gore Death Productions are at it again, causing trouble with the fourth album from Spain’s Caustic, and in my opinion, their best album. It’s been a while since their last album, Hate Generation, from 2015. That album upped the game in sheer intensity from the band. They have now one-upped that […]
France’s Towering has been around since 2016, and after a few demos released their debut album, Obscuring Manifestation, in 2019, on Dolorem Records. Tom J. Silver -Guitars (lead), Vocals, Christnach – Guitars (rhythm), Morte – Drums all return for album #2, The Oblation of Man. The band welcomes a new bassist, Arboria. The debut was […]
Here we are, nine years since Germany’s Anasarca’s last album, their fourth one, Survival Mode, was released. I have been in touch with vocalist/guitarist Michael Dormann for quite a number of years, and a few years ago, he sent me their Goddess of the Somber Shade – Promo 2024. They were shopping this three-song promo […]
Ohhhhh I thought I smelled something vile and putrid just now… Sniff…Sniff. Nope, not me, I took a shower today with my watering hose…Not my shoes….hmmmmm Oh it’s the new Cryptworm album – Infectious Pathological Waste. That’s what I smell….. These UK filthy death metal merchants released two prior albums and some EPs. Really quality […]
