Jeremy Turner from Unmerciful turned me on to this unique project of Origin lead guitarist Paul Ryan. Ryan called Maentra. Based out of San Francisco Maentra play a really unique mix of death metal, grindcore, and tinges of industrial. Kundalini Rising kicks off with “Muladhara”. I was surprised to hear that Ryan does not play […]

Krakow Poland’s Redemptor return with their fourth full length album Agonia. I had previously reviewed the groups 2017 release Arthaneum which was one of my favorite albums of that year. Agonia is an excellent follow up album that has a slow build to it which is worth the wait. Opening with “Tectonic Plates” Daniel Kesler’s […]

In a year chalked full of incredible technical death metal Minnesota’s Sunless present their second full length album Ylem. If you are not familiar with Sunless, they are a three piece that features former members of the group Australis and The Body Beneath. What make Sunless unique are their arrangements. I cannot think of too […]

A love of Video Games, Lovecraft, and Morbid Angel. An Interesting mix. Tim Rowland’s solo Alchemy of Flesh project is one of the biggest surprises of the year in my opinion. The attention to detail in gear selection and sound is quite impressive here. Something else that catches my attention is the killer artwork by […]

Who is the mood for some awesome new U.S Epic Doom? Sign me up! Being from Minnesota and friends of Brad Miller (Among the Serpents) I was extremely excited to hear he was assembling this group. Come June 2021 here we are with Grief Collector’s En Delirium. I must say that recruiting Robert Lowe (Ex-Candlemass, […]

Denver’s Noctambulist return with their second album, The Barren Form. I was not familiar with this group and wanted to check out their material. It is quite pummeling and reminds me a bit of Hate Eternal and Virtriol at times. I do wish at times that the guitars had a bit more clarity as at […]

Austin Texas’s Cathexis return with their second full length effort Untethered Abyss. I have been spinning this album for the last few months and my first impressions of them were a black death band with influences like Immolation and Ulcerate. They are a bit more varied in terms of groove and riff variety. The Title […]

Wow! This is unique. Picture a band from Copenhagen that at times can sound like they are from Gothenburg and then other times where they sound like tech era Death. For fans of Quo Vadis, and Arsis. I get that. Steve Di Giorgio plays bass on this. Okay, I am intrigued. I guess it was […]

The consistency of Everlasting Spew Records knows no bounds! Imagine if you will putting Broken Hope, Monstrosity and Sinister in a blender. Here is the thing though, you cannot add any lyrics. Because they do not have any. Now, this is a bit of a bold move here, but I think that these songs are […]

From Minnesota comes Obsolete, a technical death thrash project of Lucas Scott (Sunless, Ex-Australis) and Patrick Ruhland (Ex Australis, Grand Demise of Civilization, Ambassador Gun). Opening with “Still” Scott and Ruhland paint a unique atmosphere with the combination of frenzied riffs reminiscent to Anata or Psycroptic. The material is quite tight and punchy, and I […]

Well, here is something fun in 2021 I was not expecting. Hailing from Stavanger Norway Deception play a hybrid stay of technical, melodic death thrash. As crazy as this sounds. Picture Yyrkoon mixed Darkane. Originally called The Art of Deception, The Mire is Deception’s third full length. Clocking in at over 47 minutes these guys […]

Hang tight, there is something wrong with the earth’s gravitational pull. Holy schnikes is this heavy! Buried’s Oculus Rot has been in my daily rotation for the last few weeks and I am excited to go over how awesome this album is. First, Buried features Joel Sta and Robbe V (Ex Pyaemia). I was excited […]

Jeeeezus! San Francisco California’s Ominous Ruin debut album is here and it’s a hell of a first effort. If it is conceivable to think of a heavier Spawn of Possession or Archspire these guys might very well be in that mix. “Ritual” kicks off this forty-six-minute clinic in riff fury and intensity. Guitarist Alex Bacey […]

Well, Well! 2021 is getting started with some pretty fun metal releases right off the bat. Founded by former members of Enfold Darkness the Final Tyranny wastes zero time in getting the listener’s attention with opening track Tyrannical Reign of the Deceiver.” The opening drum fill leads to a very aggressive beginning of a very […]

Ever wonder what it would sound like if you mixed Disgorge with Malignancy? Germany’s Focal Dystonia is absolutely melting my brain and may be answer to my own question. Featuring guitarist Floor Van Kujik (Korpse) and drummer Florent Duployer. This one would have completely missed my radar had a not just randomly took a chance […]

Poland’s Azarath return with their 7th full length album, Saint Desecration. Founded by Inferno, drummer of the mighty Behemoth. Azarath play a fun style of black death similar to the likes of Krisiun, Immolation, and also country mates Hate. Things open up with “Death, At Will” which starts with a nice clean guitar part before […]

2020 continues to throw forearm smashes in my eardrums in the form of awesome Death Metal. I have been following Incinerate since they started in 1998 which is around the same time that I started my first band Pentagoria. I had met vocalist Jesse Watson at Milwaukee Metal fest that year and was excited to […]

Around three years ago I reviewed this amazing progressive technical death metal band from Amsterdam. I was absolutely floored by their debut album Esoteric Entity. The band’s second album, Neoconception is a concept album revolving around an asteroid hitting earth. “Downfall” opens things up and the madness begins. If you are not familiar with Spectrum […]

Holy Smokes! I was fortunate to review Cult of Lilith’s debut EP Arkanum back in around 2015. Back then Cult of Lilith was still trying to find their sound and were a bit more tech-death oriented. Fast forward to 2020 and we have their first debut full-length album Mara. Hailing from Rejavik Iceland there are […]

Lansing Michigan’s Recorruptor return with their 2nd full length release The Funeral Corridor. I must admit I had not been familiar with these guys but saw in the liner that Josh Moore of Summon is their drummer. I was a big fan of Summon’s 2005 Fallen album and wanted to see what these guys were […]

Well this definitely on my list for most improved tech death bands of 2020. Kansas City Missouri’s Ahtme return with their 2nd full length album Mephitic. I must admit I was a bit ho-hum regarding their 2018 debut Sewerborn. It beyond clear that the sound of the group has matured a bit and the song […]

Well, Well, Well! What do we have here? The return of these fine sickos from Amsterdam Disavowed. Having been a fan of the band since their classic debut Perceptive Deception I was intrigued by what their third full length album has to offer and it does not disappoint at all. Revocation of the Fallen is […]

Sometimes as a reviewer here at Teeth of the Divine I will randomly click on something and just let it buck while I am working on something else.

Having been around since 2009 Death metal international group Serocs are to me one of most underrated Tech Death bands out there right now. Vore features Laurent Bellemare on vocals who is also the vocalist for the band Sutrah that I reviewed earlier this year. Serocs also features Kevin Paradis on drums also of Benighted […]
