Civerous – Maze Envy (20 Buck Spin)

A sophomore full length album from this Los Angeles based death/doom crew. I’m going to confess that I hadn’t heard of the band before, and in fact didn’t particularly “get” this album at first listen. I was listening to it… Continue Reading →

Brodequin – Harbinger Of Woe (Season Of Mist)

Having formed back in 1998 it could be said that Brodequin are one of the true pioneers of Brutal Death Metal, if only their debut Instruments Of Torture had come out sooner than 2000. I think it would be a… Continue Reading →

Waidelotte – Celestial Shine (Debemur Morti)

Comprising members of White Ward, Soen, Naoni Orchestra and others, this Ukrainian band combines black metal with melodic death metal, progressive metal and traditional folk singing and instrumentation. The album is about an individual’s journey through darkness and disappointment towards… Continue Reading →

Hideous Divinity – Unextinct (Century Media)

I’m not quite sure why a band from Italy would want to include a couple of track titles in German as is the case here, but this band’s pedigree can’t be denied. “Unextinct” is Hideous Divinity’s fifth album release and… Continue Reading →

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 →

Hadit – Metaphysical Engines Approaching The Event Horizon (I, Voidhanger)

I just picked this off the lists, not knowing the name, because of ‘cosmic’ ‘Lovecraft’ and ‘black/death’ plonked in the description if I’m honest. No previous knowledge of these Italians, but being let down too many times by other death… Continue Reading →

Skeletal Remains – Fragments Of The Ageless (Century Media)

Some bands kind of blow up a bit and then you don’t really hear that much about them despite the fact their output is still consistent, strange really. Such is the case for Skeletal Remains, when I heard Devouring Mortality… Continue Reading →

Messiah – Christus Hypercubus (High Roller)

Following their return in 2020 with the awesome “Fracmont”, this Swiss Death/Thrash band made a big impact after being away so long, bringing out the glory days of their Noise records releases. However, the band return after some line-up changes,… Continue Reading →

SoulCarrion – Enthrone Death (Godz Ov War)

Poland’s Soul Carrion is two piece outfit hailing from Warsaw and since forming in 2019 have released a full length titled ‘Infernal Agony’ and a self-titled EP which I reviewed for the site in 2023. Nearly one year later and… Continue Reading →

Vircolac – Veneration (Sepulchral Voice)

I think it’s fair to say that Ireland’s death metal dark horses, or dark werewolves even, Vircolac take their time in releasing music. This is their second full length, after 2019’s dark but insightful ‘Masque’. They play death metal that… Continue Reading →

Morta Skuld – Creation Undone (Peaceville)

I guess you get it with every genre of music but I always find it strange how odd albums from seemingly underground bands go on to become so highly regarded. Dying Remains by Morta Skuld is such a case. You… Continue Reading →

Vincent Crowley – Anthology Of Horror (Hammerheart Records)

So there I was bemoaning a horror themed album for lacking in the key ingredient and along comes this. Surely Vincent Crowley and his team made up of past members of laid to rest Acheron won’t be making that mistake?… Continue Reading →
