Undergang – De syv stadier af ford​æ​rv (Death Metal Sewage)

  For some reason I never got into these guys until this EP. Perhaps they were too messy, their production too hollow, their approach too typical if you’ve heard gore metal style already, I really don’t know. I don’t have an excuse really, sorry. But hey, now I’m on board so that’s cool. Things picked […]

Qrixkuor – Zoetrope (Occult Death Metal for Chaotic Connoisseurs)

  I see one long track as an album or EP and I’m like yeah this shit’s going to have something to say. And yes, Qrixkuor is such a band and this is such an album, or rather EP. More of an experience perhaps, or just a long ass song even, Zoetrope is a spinning […]

Ataraxy – The Last Mirror (Funereal Death Metal, Yes That Is A Word)

  Well if this isn’t an interesting name for a band with this kind of sound. I mean, I certainly appreciate that the type of calm this band is referencing is the dreadful kind that comes only with death. Wow, this is like true funereal death metal fools. Did you not know that is a […]

Azothyst – Blood of Dead God (Poisonous Blackened Death Metal)

  Well I knew this one was going to be a poisonous brain melt based on the skewed English in the title, Blood of Dead God. And then there’s the cover, which at once looks like classic etching, but is a conglomerate of disgust, which apparently is developed further in the jacket which is, quote […]

Lvcifyre – The Broken Seal (Monolithic Apocalyptic Serpent Metal)

  Phew now here is something solid. I mean, I expect that out of the recent vanguard of English metal freaks, but still here’s another to add to the slowly-growing horde. Lvcifyre have been melting death metal into their own weapon for over a decade now, but their releases have been more sporadic and careful […]

Anatomia – Corporeal Torment (Dismal Slow Death Metal)

  Here’s a time where I agree with the band beyond any calculable percentages. Dismal slow death metal. Damn, that covers it. Japan’s Anatomia have been in the scene for almost twenty years now, but their full-length output is rather small in comparison to their variety of demo, EP, and especially split appearances. That seems […]

Adversarial – Death, Endless Nothing and the Black Knife of Nihilism

Adversarial – Death, Endless Nothing and the Black Knife of Nihilism

Well, this band has already started off on their path of adversariness with an album title that’s probably going to break our system coding.  First for its length, and if that doesn’t do it, then for its meaning.  Nihilism, the rejection of principles, especially moral principles or those stemming from religion, the rejection of love, […]

Swallowed – Lunaterial

Today, you know what?  You know what guys and girls?  It’s time for complete destruction of everything.  Let’s tear it all down, let’s rip out this thing called a soul that we don’t believe in anyway and burn it into metaphysical ashes.  Let’s take this thing called order and obliterate it and whatever remains we’ll […]

Emptiness: Nothing But The Whole

Emptiness: Nothing But The Whole

Let’s start with punches; the Belgian black metal band Enthroned makes generic music. They’re one of many icons that represent the stagnation of black metal’s growth today by consistently spitting out bland black metal. The reason why this is discussed because two of the primary members of Enthroned are also a part of the band […]

So far, they have only released an E.P. and this album, Sacred White Noise, will be released April 15th […]
