The prolific Transcending Obscurity label is a byword for death metal productions, and here’s another one, this time by Saevus Finis from Portugal. The points of reference for this “chest-bursting heaviness” and “dark, hypnotic and suffocating death metal’ are bands… Continue Reading →

Temple Of Scorn – Funeral Altar Epiphanies (Transcending Obscurity Records)

Altars Ablaze – Life Desecration (Lavadome Productions)

There seems to be a huge amount of new blood within the extreme metal scene and here are yet another bunch of upstarts plying a debut album after forming very recently. Perhaps it’s a pandemic thing. As far as Altars… Continue Reading →

Beyond Mortal Dreams – Abomination Of The Flames (Lavadome Productions)
