Stygian Crown – Funeral for a King (Cruz Del Sur)

The return of Stygian Crown has come just at the right time. Their 2020 album, “Stygian Crown” saw them obtain my second best record of 2020, and I’ve been waiting for an excellent epic doom album since the last Thronehammer… Continue Reading →

Petrification – Sever Sacred Light (Svart Records)

Rumbles from the West. Portland Oregon’s Petrification have released their second album “Sever Sacred Light” (which for some reason I have an issue saying out loud), on Svart records. This is the follow up to “Hollow of the Void in 2018… Continue Reading →

Shrapnel Storm – Silo (Great Dane Records)

Nostalgic Death Metal albums are like buses. You miss one then ten will turn up dressed in greasy denim and bullet belts belching songs about war and tragedy before dragging you off towards the early 90’s. Shrapnel Storm from Finland… Continue Reading →

Decapitated Christ – Glorious Tyrannizing Of Human Rats (FDA)

Frozen Soul – Glacial Domination (Century Media)

Like all other metal genres there are numerous sub-genres or styles associated with the evolution of bands and the genre communities they represent. Death metal is no stranger and it is now a firm belief in my mind that a… Continue Reading →

Extermination Order – The Siege of Ascalon (War Anthem Records)

Extermination Order, it would seem, are a five piece from all over the place (California, Germany, Iceland). They cite influences such as early Amon Amarth, Edge of Sanity, and crucially, Bolt Thrower. I have always been puzzled why Bolt Thrower,… Continue Reading →

New World Depression – Interment Of Sins (S/R)

Ah, the sweet savage sound of planet crushing death metal courtesy of Germany’s New World Depression whose sixth full length comes hurtling from your speakers like an atomic bomb dropped from up on high. I really liked this bands last… Continue Reading →

Kommand – Death Age (20 Buck Spin)

As the world spins on a precipice and the Doomsday Clock sits at 90 seconds to Midnight, “a time of unprecedented danger” LA based quintet Kommand have holed up in their underground bunker working on the follow up 2020 Maggot… 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 →

Memoriam – Rise to Power (Reaper Entertainment)

Are Memoriam the hardest working British Death Metal band? You’d be hard pressed to find a band who have been quite so industrious with their release schedule, with this – their fifth album in six years, and coming just less… Continue Reading →

Rebel Souls – Dawn Of Depravity (Blood Fire Death)

Rebel Souls released a fine debut full length back in 2017 titled ‘The Forces Of Darkness’ one that captured the black and death hybrid extremely well and this sophomore continues that styling with a rampaging onslaught from start to finish…. Continue Reading →

Ripped to Shreds – Jubian (Relapse)

Alright, hands up, I hadn’t heard of Ripped to Shreds. Turns out the four piece of Californian-based extremists are making waves in the scene, and that Jubian is their third full length album since 2018. All of which really makes… Continue Reading →
