Camilla Sparksss – Brutal (On The Camper Records)

Sometimes we get some really leftfield curveball discs sent in to review and whereas if they are digital downloads and we can press delete and think, not for us, we do try our best. This is one such example and… Continue Reading →

Fleshdoll – Blood Red District (Great Dane)

This is the first time I’ve heard Fleshdoll – a French death metal crew from Toulouse. This is their fourth full length and on the strength of it I’m defo gonna be checking out their back catalogue. This is ten… Continue Reading →

Apophys – Prime Incursion (Metal Blade)

If the apocalypse was coming, Apophys would be the soundtrack. Formed in 2012 in The Netherlands and boasting members of renowned Dutch bands including: God Dethroned, Prostitute Disfigurement, Detonation and Toxocara, the well oiled, technically sublime and brutal death metal… Continue Reading →

Decimation – Reign Of Ungodly Creation (Comatose Music)

Sometimes this reviewing lark can be a bit dull, another brutal tech death band I thought. This’ll be a load of impossible to remember blasting / pig squealing tripe I thought. A few listens later though and I realised brutal… Continue Reading →

Torn The Fuck Apart – Sexually Transmitted Torture (Ossuary Industries)

Having had a digital promo copy of this album for quite a while now it was nice to get the diabolical CD from our editor at the recent Damnation Festival 2014 gig just so I can analyse the cover art… Continue Reading →

Banisher – Scarcity (Unquiet Records)

Banisher are a technical death metal band hailing from Rzeszow in Poland. They’ve been kicking around since 2005 but only released their debut album, ‘Slaughterhouse’, in 2010. This is a very dynamic, relentless album, faster & more intense than their… Continue Reading →

Amputated – Dissect, Molest, Ingest (Sevared)

Well here it is. Definitely one of the most eagerly awaited UKDM albums this year. Bristol’s Amputated finally deliver their third full length with ‘Dissect, Molest, Ingest’ five years after their last offering – 2009’s ‘Wading Through Rancid Offal’. Has… Continue Reading →

Fleshgod Apocalypse – Labyrinth (Nuclear Blast)

The fact is, there is no-one quite like Fleshgod Apocalypse. This creative bunch of Italian maniacs have successfully created `symphonic brutal death metal’. Chances are, many a spotty teen has dreamt of such a grandiose idea since the inception and… Continue Reading →

Autopsy – The Headless Ritual (Peaceville)

It came as a surprise to me to read some of the lukewarm reviews to Autopsy’s 2011 comeback album, ‘Macabre Eternal’. Although easy to understand both how and why fans would have such unrealistically high expectations, personally, I was blown… Continue Reading →

Thy Art is Murder – Hate (Nuclear Blast)

`Hate’ is the sophomore album from Thy Art is Murder, and clearly captures the band in ascendancy. These deathcore devotees from Down Under seem to be on the rise, with a pristinely-produced album released by Nuclear Blast and it seems… Continue Reading →

Ad Patres – Scorn Aesthetics (Kaotoxin Records)

Ad Patres is the brainchild of Alsvid, a man who many black metal experts are sure to recognise from such bands as Seth, Enthroned and <CODE>. Flying in the face of expectation, this new creation is a concertedly death metal… Continue Reading →

Suffocation – Pinnacle of Bedlam (Nuclear Blast Records)

Where to begin? Well, how about ‘Effigy of the Forgotten’? In the days when you couldn’t simply discover a million bands and their respective discographies at the click of a button, an old copied tape could be like the holy… Continue Reading →
