Vltimas – Epic (Season of Mist)

Has it really been five years since Vltimas released ‘Something Wicked Marches in’? The debut really struck a chord with me and is one that I return to pretty regularly. It’s fair to say I wasn’t in isolation and the… Continue Reading →

Abhoria – Depths (Prosthetic Records)

I thoroughly enjoyed this US band’s self-titled debut released in 2022, it was packed with blackened ferocity and this follow up continues that style extremely successfully. The opening tune ‘Emergence’ is very short and sort of acts like a prolonged… Continue Reading →

Saevus Finis – Facilis Descensus Averno (Transcending Obscurity)

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 →

Outergods – A Kingdom Built Upon the Wreckage of Heaven (Prosthetic Records)

A recent attendee at Bloodstock, Outergods express turbulence through death metal, black metal and grindcore, quoting Morbid Angel and Strapping Young Lad as influencers. This is the band’s debut album following a couple of singles which are both here. The… Continue Reading →

Incantation – Unholy Deification (Relapse Records)

There are few acts with a discography as consistent as this pioneering US death metal band. Pick any release throughout the bands near 35 year history and you’ll listen to some of the finest death metal the genre has to… Continue Reading →

Ageless Summoning – Corrupting The Entempled Plane (Dark Descent)

If, like me, you follow certain labels because they release top quality albums by an assortment of different artists then you probably have a penchant for this US label’s roster. This debut full length by UK’s Ageless Summoning is absolutely… Continue Reading →

Soulcarrion – Soulcarrion (Godz Ov War)

It has taken just over a year for the second release to emerge from this Polish band but instead of an album we have a four track EP that contains three new songs and one tune from the album ‘Infernal… Continue Reading →

Ascended Dead – Evenfall Of The Apocalypse (20 Buck Spin)

In the intervening six years between this US band’s debut, ‘Abhorrent Manifestation’ and this sophomore the band has released two splits, a demo, a live album and a box set, meaning the band has been busy despite the half decade… Continue Reading →

Whore Of Bethlehem – Ritual Of Homicide (Comatose Music)

You’re probably already thinking it, if you don’t already know that is, but yes I suspect this band’s name comes from the title of Archgoat’s 2006 album and is a bloody good band name too. There’s nothing like blasphemic controversy… Continue Reading →

Toughness – The Prophetic Dawn (Godz Ov War)

Formed in 2020 the first release of this Polish outfit was their ‘Prophecy’ demo out in early 2022, a release as hideous as any you’re likely to hear in death metal as the band unveils their debut full length. All… Continue Reading →

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 →

Ensanguinate – Eldritch Anatomy (Emanzipation Productions)

From the Laibachan capital of Slovenia which is Ljubljana we have a hungry and relatively new death metal horde here. ‘Eldritch Anatomy’ is the debut album from this quartet who formed in 2020 and have just a demo and couple… Continue Reading →
