Fleshdoll – Blood Red District (Great Dane)

This is the first time I’ve heard Fleshdoll – a French death metal crew from Toulouse. This is their fourth full length and on the strength of it I’m defo gonna be checking out their back catalogue. This is ten… Continue Reading →

Septycal Gorge – Scourge of the Formless Breed (Comatose Music)

`Scourge of the Formless Breed’ is the third full length album by Turin’s underground brutalists Septycal Gorge, and it is a pretty interesting proposition. Many bands of this style opt for simplistic, gruesome, splatter-gore lyrics and put all of their… Continue Reading →

Torn The Fuck Apart – Sexually Transmitted Torture (Ossuary Industries)

Having had a digital promo copy of this album for quite a while now it was nice to get the diabolical CD from our editor at the recent Damnation Festival 2014 gig just so I can analyse the cover art… Continue Reading →

Beyond Creation – Earthborn Evolution (Season Of Mist)

This Canadian band’s debut, “The Aura” hit me like a freight train when it hit my review pile in 2012 even though it had been released in 2011 by PRC Music. The version I had was a self released effort… Continue Reading →

Black Jesus – Everything Black…Everything Dead (Grindhead Records)

The fascination for technical death metal has become utterly tiresome, especially with the proliferation of bands who have taken the meaning of such to be to play as fast and as downtuned as possible whilst a guitarist performs some freestyle… Continue Reading →

Dungortheb – Extracting Souls (Great Dane)

Shock horror, here we have a band who have plundered J.R.R. Tolkein’s much ravished chest for their name and they do not play black metal! If you are looking for that go track down an obscure demo by German pagan… Continue Reading →

Xerath – III (Candlelight)

  Thanks to UK Metallers Xerath’s consistent live work it appears that I am one of the few Ave Noctum scribes to be unfamiliar with the band. So why, therefore does it fall upon me to review their imaginatively titled… Continue Reading →

Solace of Requiem – Casting Ruin (ViciSolum)

‘Casting Ruin’ is the fourth album from these purveyors of black/death/tech extremity (or “Epic Fucking Brutality”, as they so eloquently put it themselves), and my first introduction to their sound. Originally starting out as one of the many bands to… Continue Reading →

Allegaeon – Elements of the Infinite (Metal Blade)

Having recruited a new guitarist and drummer since I heard them last, Allegaeon haven’t lost anything at all. Perhaps they’ve even gained about a bit of that initial spark that bands have when they start working as a cohesive unit… Continue Reading →

De Profundis – Frequencies (S/R)

This London-based band made a positive impact at the recent Incineration Festival with their energetic display of technical blackened death metal. “Frequencies”, their latest four track EP following three album releases since 2007, features material from their set on that… Continue Reading →

Killchain – Where Is Your Saviour (Metal Age)

Slovakia’s Killchain have been plying their death metal trade since 2005, originally focussing on sounds of the old school. Along the way they’ve played with bands as diverse as Exhumed, Gorgoroth, Cynic and released two albums. Perhaps inspired by the… Continue Reading →

Vortice – Host (Alone Records)

If you like your metal to be modern, heavy, energetic, melodic and djenty, this is for you. Vortice come from Barcelona and are releasing their third album with “Host”. They were presented to me as a band who play thrash,… Continue Reading →
