Aborted – Vault Of Horrors (Nuclear Blast)

Perhaps one of the bigger faces of modern Death Metal are Aborted. From their destructive debut The Purity Of Perversion to their classic Goremageddon and beyond, they have proven their worth time and time again. They’re a band who also… Continue Reading →

UK TechFest, Newark County Showground, Saturday 1/7/23

I took a saunter up the A1 and arrived at Newark County Showground. My objective was not to look at prize bulls, but to enjoy a day at UK TechFest. I have been a day tripper to this four-day event… Continue Reading →

Inhuman Depravity – The Experimendead (Gruesome Records)

A second album from Turkish brutal death metallers Inhuman Depravity, one that arrives seven years after their debut ‘Nocturnal Carnage By The Unholy Desecrator’ and continues more or less where that debut left off. The bands bone shattering brutality is… Continue Reading →

Fetal Blood Eagle – Indoctrinate (Listenable Records)

‘Featuring members of Aborted, Solium Fatalis and Necronomichrist,’ this was never going to be a nice ride was it? Yep, knee deep into bludgeoning and brutal death metal I go. And straight in it is with barely time for cackled… Continue Reading →

Monument Of Misanthropy – Unterweger (Transcending Obscurity)

Bloodphemy – Bloodsacrifice (Emanzipation Productions)

Dutch death metal eh? That used to be quite the thing, once upon a time. Gorefest, for example, almost cracked the mainstream during the late 90’s. Apparently, Bloodphemy formed way back at the turn of the millennia, but disbanded a… Continue Reading →

Aborted – Maniacult (Century Media)

I don’t really know at what point something can be deemed as classic. If you love an album, book, film etc straight away can you start hailing it as a masterpiece or a classic? I guess it’s more of a… Continue Reading →

Hideous Divinity – LV-426 (Century Media)

Sometimes, a quick blast of Technical Death Metal is all you need. Nothing too long or played at furious speeds, just a nice short EP with a handful of tracks on it to show off some nice, skilled playing and… Continue Reading →

Slit Your Gods – Dogmatic Convictions Of Human Decrepitude (Comatose Music)

One look at the line up within this new Spanish technical death metal act and you see a wealth of experience honed to slaughterous surgical perfection within the bludgeoning realms of Arthropodal Humanicide, Ineffable Demise, Avgrunn and Fall Of Mankind… Continue Reading →

Death Courier – Necrotic Verses (Transcending Obscurity Records)

This Greek band has been around since the mid-80s which is surprising to me considering my penchant for old school death metal especially of the underground variety and my continual trawling to find gems within the scene. With a plethora… Continue Reading →
