This long established and pioneering death metal band like many of its compatriots in the genre does not write bad albums but writes continually top quality releases through which you have personal favourites but never poor ones, but with this… Continue Reading →
Suffocation have returned with their 8th full length album, a pummelling beast of a record, which they have executed with precision and technicality, through Nuclear Blast Records. Suffocation first introduced themselves to us in 1991 with their debut “Effigy of… Continue Reading →
Russian slam pioneers Aborted Fetus have returned to the scene with their fifth full length release The Art of Violent Torture. Those who are a fan of no nonsense, unadulterated slam are in for a right treat, as this album… Continue Reading →

The USA is well known for playing host to some of the finest slam bands the world has to offer and Massachusetts four piece Dysentery are no exception to this rule. This snarling beast of a band may have just… Continue Reading →
