Baltimore, Maryland’s Death Metal elders DYING FETUS have returned after six years to crank out their latest slab of pure Death Metal brutality. The guys have been gatekeepers for their career and continue in their relentless path of destruction. Ten tracks sure to initiate bashing heads with a spiked baseball bat. The last DYING FETUS […]
VISION MASTER from the United States was formed back in 2019. They are featuring Dan Munro (guitar and vocals) and Reuben Storey (drums and bass), formerly of the Death Metal act FUNEROT. VISION MASTER pays homage to weird, wild Heavy Metal from the ’80s when strange things were tried and their debut full-length “Sceptre” demonstrated […]
The French and Metal have an on-again-off-again relationship. Sometimes it’s right there, traipsing through the flowery fields and holding hands. Other times, it’s making mistake after mistake in a failed relationship from the start. With the classic Heavy Metal vibe of MEURTRIÈRES, it’s the perfect respect for each other. With only an EP to their […]
After an EP and three singles, “Descendants” is Swedish outfit ERADIKATED’s debut album. The same line-up under another band name had released an album back in 2017. My best guess is that their music has not changed that much, despite the band name change. So, I am already searching for their previous album. ERADIKATED plays […]
The album title fits like a glove, because it is really a stream of rot, of rotten Death Metal to be more precise, which awaits the listener. FORMLESS OEDON are a rather new band, formed back four years ago and luckily Memento Mori from Spain have secured the rights for the debut. So hopefully this […]
The international Death / Doom band ETERNAL ROT stands out due to the blending of various stylistic elements of different subgenres in the Death Metal field. The vocals are clearly in the Grind / Goregrind genre and remind a little of the debut of CARCASS. The song intros evoke associations with Horror Metallers like NECROPHAGIA […]
PROTEAN SHIELD from Greece started their journey somewhere around the summer of 2019, and now released their self-titled debut album “Protean Shield”. And here the Greeks show their ability to take Metal aesthetics from the golden days of the ’80s and churning out something epic and modern. In the eight songs and the short instrumental […]
Starting with an Ennio Morricone – like fast, galloping instrumental that ends with some “AA-OOO” screams reminding the listener of the film “300”, CRUEL FORCE launch themselves into ‘At The Dawn Of The Axe’. This second track already dictates a clear line of approach: the sound of DESASTER (who, like CRUEL FORCE, are from the […]
In my musical cosmos there is no bad INCANTATION album – only good and very good ones… and some brilliant ones. “Unholy Deification” belongs to the brilliant ones. Everything that defines this US Death Metal legend, which unfortunately never had the success it deserves, can be found on their new masterpiece. Hardly any Death Metal […]
When a band transcends, regardless of its band members, you know they have left a legacy. That is the case with these blasphemers of evil Death Metal known as INCANTATION. Not only do they set a kind of school in Death Metal territory, but they are also one of the few bands that don’t betray […]
