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 […]

Stranguliatorius have taken me by surprise and were never previously on my radar. Hailing from the far reaches of Lithuania Flies Don’t Lie is their fourth album, and the band has been around since 2010. The band name almost had me thinking some ancient dinosaur from times past, and honesty I did not know what […]

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 […]

If this EP had been released just a day later, it would be a 2026 release, too bad it was not delayed until a few days into 2026. TerrorVerse is a brand new technical brutal death metal band hailing from Houston, Texas, and this little ditty of an EP is exactly what the doctor ordered. […]

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 […]

Guttural Slug is a brutal slam death metal band hailing from Denmark. With three full-length albums under their belt and having not released anything since their last album, Plague of Filth, in 2019, here comes the Ulcers in the Flesh of Thought EP. Much has transpired since the last album. Guitarist Mikkel Sørensen hired a […]

I was pretty darn upset when Malignant Altar called it quits. I reviewed their Realms of Exquisite Morbidity debut album. So awesome. Memorable. Doomy, brutal and dark death metal. Well, slap me in the face and say stop all that cryin’, because Terror Corpse contains former Malignant Altar members. That’s right, folks. Hailing from Houston, […]

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 […]

Garde is an interesting ‘new’ band, even though they formed 25 years ago, and Harbinger of Revenge and War is their only release. So you know they took a really, really long time to get this sucker out to us. Vocals are done by Dan Capp, the newest Solstice (UK) singer. He’s been with them […]

Decaying Human is a young Indonesian brutal death metal band that reactivated last year, after forming in 2021, but was dormant. Brian, owner of Ossuary Industries, knows brutal death metal and has his ear to the scene morning, noon and night, kinda like this fella, right here. There are all forms of extreme metal and […]

Comatose Music is killing it towards the end of 2025 with quality brutal death metal releases. Massachusetts-based brutal slam/death metal act Dysentery has not released an album in 10 years. The last one was their third album- the absolutely savage, Fragments. I’ve known vocalist Scott Savaria and guitarist Peter “Blue” Spinazola (Fit for an Autopsy) […]

Demoniacal Genuflection was a death metal band based out of Houston, Texas, who released a series of splits, demos, and one full-length album in their ten-year existence. The band called it quits in 2015. This compilation titled Darker Lamentation contains their 2010 debut album The Ministers of Lamentation and four songs which were included on […]

Germany’s bludgeoners of death, Stillbirth, return with Survival Protocol, their ninth full-length studio effort and debut for Reigning Phoenix Music. Their albums have run the gamut of brutal death metal, deathcore, to even smatterings of technical death metal. The one thing I really like about Stillbirth, is that they have improved their sound and style […]

Defigurement is a brutal new Californian technical death metal act featuring some well-known band members, including Mike Heller (Azure Emote, Black Hole Deity) on drums, Kevin Fetus on guitars, DMT on bass/vocals, and Matthias Joyce on vocals. Endbryo is their debut album with 16 songs, some of which are interludes, all in under thirty minutes. […]

Comatose Music is back with another brutal death metal release, this time, it’s American act Vulnificus, with their debut album Inclination. The band has released a few prior EPs/comps/splits and is now poised to take the next step. Vocaslist Eston Browne, I’ve known for quite some time. He was on the scorching Gigan album Multi-Dimensional […]

Any band, fan, or reader of my reviews knows I love all forms of extreme music, and when it comes to death metal, yes, I will admit to saying the scene is way too saturated with a bajillion bands. I do, however, love a lot of the new bands. When it comes to extreme music, […]

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 […]

Maggot Stomp, with yet another home run of a band in Corpse Pile. If you’re into bands like Creeping Death, Deadly Remains, Sanguisugabogg you are in for a real treat. Corpse Pile combines heavy hardcore beat down moments, but make no mistake, this is death metal through and through. In the Beginning… is their new […]

France’ Horror Within released a damn good EP in 2022, Awaiting Extinction, and now equipped with a brand new label, Soul Awakening, their debut album is unleashed. The band also welcomes in new vocalist Loris Padovani. The EP had some technical death metal moments as well as deathcore nods. Soul Awakening is a different beast […]

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 […]

New Jersey’s Condition Critical have been rather quiet since their second album, Extermination Plan in 2016. They had followed their 2013 debut, Operational Hazard, with that killer album. Brazil’s Marquee Records did remaster reissues of both albums, which I reviewed here. The band is made up of Mike Dreher on bass/vocals (backing), Ryan Donato on drums, […]

  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 […]
