Damnation’s Hammer – Into The Silent Nebula (Massacre)

No denying I jumped on this when it came in. Been six years since the last Damnation’s Hammer album ‘Unseen Planets, Deadly Spheres’ and also that long since I last caught them live. So hopefully this album will help them… Continue Reading →

Rotpit – Let There Be Rot (War Anthem Records)

Well, at the very least Rotpit gets the best “AC/DC adjacent album pun of the month” award, with the amusing moniker “Let There Be Rot”. Turns out Rotpit are a project featuring the ever-prolific Jonny Pettersson (here on bass and… Continue Reading →

Heathen Foray – Oathbreaker (Massacre)

I do love bands who tell you exactly who and what they are without any pithering about, and well, if Heathen Foray aren’t the one of the best examples I’ve come across in years. The first track of Oathbreaker, which… Continue Reading →

Overlord – Fake Salvation (Great Dane)

Name checking some of the most awesome death metal bands in the PR material had me wanting to hear this. This is a project born during the pandemic, old school death metal akin to Massacre, Death, Cancer and Bolt Thrower,… Continue Reading →

Atomwinter – Sakrileg (Trollzorn)

My only listening experience with this German death metal band was with 2015’s ‘Iron Flesh’ which I enjoyed, so quite why I never kept up with the subsequent release ‘Catacombs’ in 2018 I have no idea. However, it has taken… Continue Reading →

Heads for the Dead – The Great Conjuration (Transcending Obscurity)

This international group hit the horror market hard with their rampant third release of gnarly death metal. The band consist of members of Revel In Flesh, Wombbath, Massacre and Sentient Horror to name but a few, so by the bands… Continue Reading →

Temple of Worms – Liber De Morbis (Great Dane Records)

French crew Temple of Worms hail from that bastion of all things death metal, that being – of course – um…Lyon. Still, while that region may not be best known for extreme metal, this is that band’s first full length… Continue Reading →

As The World Dies – Agonist (Transcending Obscurity)

The quality control at Transcending Obscurity continues to be of high value, as we come to this first album from Birmingham’s progressive death metallers, “As the World Dies”. Certainly, lead guitarist Scott Fairfax is going to be a familiar name… Continue Reading →

Wombbath – Agma (Transcending Obscurity Records)

Quite possibly one of the most underrated and overlooked death metal bands of the last 30 years, Sweden’s Wombbath may have a moniker conjuring up images of sonic rancidity but they offer so much more than that, indeed their latest… Continue Reading →

Massacre – Resurgence (Nuclear Blast)

When you list the classic Death Metal acts of old you probably think Morbid Angel, Deicide, Obituary, Death etc. Yet there is a sort of sub level to that, Possessed, Immolation, and our subject for today the mighty Massacre! I… Continue Reading →

Wombbath – Tales Of Madness (Transcending Obscurity)

Metal is kind of funny in the sense that everything is labelled as ‘essential’ or ‘ground-breaking’ or ‘a masterpiece’. “Have you ever heard this 90s Black Metal demo that only three people have heard? It’s essential listening!”. The truth of… Continue Reading →

Cadaver – Edder & Bile (Nuclear Blast)

If ever you needed proof that a Cadaver could rise and roar again, here it is! Reanimated after the Necrosis of the last album had set in, the limbs were flexed and rigor-mortis was eased by a new E.P D.G.A.F…. Continue Reading →
