Warcrab – The Howling Silence (Transcending Obscurity)

Plymouth’s finest return with this their fourth album as well as having one of the finest band names in heavy metal, this album has come skidding into my inbox with a trunk full of hope and a tank full of… Continue Reading →

Crypta – Shades Of Sorrow (Napalm)

Brazilian Death Metal four piece Crypta are back with their second full length album ‘Shades Of Sorrow’, a 52 minute journey through the depths of the human psyche which zeroes in on the struggles in life we may face and… Continue Reading →

Werewolves – My Enemies Look and Sound Like Me (Prosthetic Records)

Hmm is this some kind of conspiracy between Ave Noctum’s editor in chief and Prosthetic Records. This is the second album the label are putting out in August by acts that I have previously raved about. Is this being done to put some pep… Continue Reading →

Acidbrain – The Lust Murders (S/R)

OK it’s time to regress. Acidbrain swim in the gore infested flooded basement of a thousand other serial killer obsessed death/grind acts. They splatter the 16 tracks here with subject matter and samples that were kinda shocking when Eaten Back to Life came out some 33 years ago… Continue Reading →

Bloodgutter – Death Mountain (Trollzorn)

Danish death metal? Did I hear that right? Now don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love Konkhra (forever one of the most over-looked metal bands of the 90’s), but outside of a couple of bands (Hatesphere spring to mind), Denmark… Continue Reading →

Bastard Grave – Vortex Of Disgust (Pulverised Records)

Sweden’s Bastard Grave know exactly how to cave your skull in, you’ve only to listen to the bands previous two full lengths to realise this as their third grotesque monstrosity continues that path with more unadulterated filth. Bands like this… Continue Reading →

CHILD – Meditations in Filth (EAT Heavy Records)

No Cillit Bang is gonna purify this utter filth! Meditations of Filth is the debut album by Stockholm Death Grinders CHILD. I am slightly worried by the PR blurb which purports these 17 tracks as the Black album of Grindcore. Hmmm – what… Continue Reading →

Iron Flesh – Limb After Limb (War Anthem Records)

I had forgotten that I covered the last album by this French outfit ‘Summoning The Putrid’ a couple of years ago. That’s hardly surprising when you think of just how many “Irons” there are in the heavy metal fire; let’s… Continue Reading →

Norrsköld – Prisma Aeternus (S/R)

‘Deriving from the cold forests of Sweden……’ states the press release, and that was enough for me to stop reading and put my hand up for the review, relishing the thought of some grim Scandinavian black metal. I should have… Continue Reading →

Exhumed – To The Dead (Relapse)

Incredible really to think that the fetid gentlemen from Exhumed have been plying their wares since 1990. Since that time, of course, they’ve had a lot of line-up changes, including members past and present from bands like Impaled, Intronaut and… Continue Reading →

Defleshed – Grind Over Matter (Metal Blade)

As clever as the title is by this veteran death metal act, there have been a number of other bands using it either as album titles or song titles as this release is the band’s first since 2005’s ‘Reclaim The… Continue Reading →

Consumption – Necrotic Lust (Hammerheart)

Let me paint a picture for you. You, your hombres, friends – or to use the parlance of our times – “crew” are reposing at a festival, gig or public gathering of your choice. The conversation starts to drift to… Continue Reading →
