Garoted – Bewitchment Of The Dark Ages (Lavadome Productions)

This US act has been flying under the radar for over a decade now, which is a shame as their back catalogue is awash with technically adroit brutal death metal. With a change in vocalist comes this fourth full length… 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 →

Temple Of Decay – Rigor Mortis (Godz Ov War)

Virtually anything on the Godz Ov War roster is worth checking out especially if you like utter extremity and brutality. Information is rather scant on this Polish band having only dredged up that it is a solo project by a… Continue Reading →

Viande – L’Abime Dévore Les Âmes (Transcending Obscurity)

You know how it is when you get French extreme metal to listen to and review… expect the unexpected! This debut full length follows a demo and EP out in 2015 and 2017 respectively and whilst I have not heard… Continue Reading →

Morbidfest – I Am Morbid, Vital Remains, Atrocity, Sadist Manchester Rebellion 30/4/19

An evening of brutal death metal was on the cards tonight, and with a bill boasting 5 bands the doors to the Rebellion had opened amidst glorious sunshine to welcome the early birds to the bludgeoning that is no doubt… Continue Reading →

Fleshdoll – Heart Of Darkness (Great Dane Records)

I was quite taken with Fleshdoll’s fourth album “Blood Red District” when I reviewed it a couple of years ago so was chuffed to get this CD through the post and even more chuffed to hear it was an album… Continue Reading →

Hellspawn – There Has Never Been A Son Of Me (Old Temple)

Getting a one word band name that is unique is nigh on impossible these days as this Polish version of Hellspawn is without doubt one of the most savage around as they batter the world with their third album which… Continue Reading →

Belphegor, Vital Remains, Hate, Ethereal, Sathamel – Sheffield Corporation 7/11/15

On paper this line up was a feast of extremity from various quarters of the globe as I arrived in Sheffield pondering our mental weather as the temperature was more spring like than wintry. Early door times seem to plague… Continue Reading →

Bitter Peace, Esoterica, Krieg & The Many – New World Black Metal (Plastik Music)

Ah the irony of having a 4 track split piece of vinyl before me digitally to review. Naturally if you have one of those old gramophone whatchamacallits lying around you can add this to your wax collection if you so… Continue Reading →

Icons Of Brutality – Between Glory and Despair (Cyclone Empire)

Formed in 2009 to pay homage to the glory days of death metal, and even gigging as a virtual covers band, it seems that Icons Of Brutality’s aspirations were quite modest. Following a couple of line-up changes though, the Dutchmen… Continue Reading →

Offending – Age of Perversion (Deepsend Records)

‘Age of Perversion’ is Offending’s second album, and exhibits a number of French musicians whose backgrounds are predominantly rooted in black metal. Coming from Deepsend though – the same label which recently introduced me to the enjoyable Deadly Remains –… Continue Reading →

Blood Legion – Promo 2012 (Self-Released)

The music of Blood Legion comes from the darkest chasms of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Reading up on them before listening to this 3 track promotional release, it is evident that their inspiration is in bands like Cannibal Corpse, Obituary, Slayer,… Continue Reading →
