INFERIA and I have a history together that goes back to 1993, when the Finnish band released their debut EP “Spawned At The Dawn”. “Indecent & Obscene” by DISMEMBER and “Pure Holocaust” by IMMORTAL were in the same mailorder package by the way and ever since this my musical taste was moving in this triangle […]
Even though ENTRAILS are around since the days Death Metal learned to walk in Sweden and had put out three very fine albums after they really started in 2008, they never really became a big name in the scene. Maybe it is because the revival of Swedish Death Metal receded almost ten years ago. But […]
Back in 2013, I got a pack of 7″ EPs from a trade. One of them had a really good black and white cover and two awesome Finnish Death Metal songs. That was CORPSESSED’s self-titled second EP. It became one of my favorite releases back then. And so did their following three studio albums. And […]
“The Black Mouth Of Sepulchre” is the second full-length album by the Danish band SULPHUROUS. It was released by the American label Dark Descent Records in tape, CD and vinyl format during October 2021, so this album is not so recent. Here we have a good example of old school Death Metal in the vein […]
Houston, Texas. Home of warm climates. Cowboys. And MALIGNANT ALTAR. Death Metal isn’t really known for its large mass in Texas. But man, when it emerges, it emerges in spades. Their first album “Realms Of Exquisite Morbidity” is a beast. It’s a creeping, crawling, trampling monstrosity that works its way through the scorching desert heat […]
Started as a side-project, ECHELON return with album number three. Once again, Mr. Johansson gets joined by vocal master Dave Ingram so no wonder that the opener ‘Undefiled Wisdom’ starts pretty strong. Groovy uptempo old school Death Metal and the oustanding vocals of Dave Ingram are really nailing it. But also the groovy and also […]
DESOLATE SHRINE are the figurative Finnish Death Metal superstars. I have to say, this is their best effort so far. Looks like they’ve stopped for a moment to get together and declare their purpose for the betterment of the Death Metal world. Okay, we have to get the obvious HM2 derivation out of the way […]
ANATOMIA are one of my favourite bands! I’ve had the opportunity to co-host them in Bangalore, India. On stage they were simply spell binding, twice as heavy and thrice as venomous. Their latest split with UNDERGANG offers no surprises in terms of the quality of Death Metal that they churn out. ‘Total Darkness’ is your […]
HYPERDONTIA belong in a boxing ring with Mike Tyson! Well, considering their rhythm section maybe they’re better compared to Ip Man’s Wing Chun fist attack. Either ways, these lads know no rest. The first track ‘Snakes Of Innards’ is the perfect example, their rhythm section excites you as the guitars jump around the fretboard not […]
Formed in 2017 in Poland, this is the second full-length of the band and oh boy, you are in for some really killer form of Metal that only in those lands can be forged. This is some of the best Punk Black Metal I have heard in a long time. Well, when I am talking […]
