Cystic – Palace of Shadows (Existential Death Metal)
I think I encountered this, at least once before, where an album sounds like garbagio on headphones. Perhaps it’s time to realize my Ghostbusters headphones aren’t exactly, well, stereo quality… Anyway, these guys blast on a system, even PC speakers, so we’ll forget about that. Now that we got the dripping death metal out […]

Dripping Decay – Festering Grotesqueries (Truly Dripping Old School Death Metal)
Not much else to expect from a band naming themselves Dripping Decay, than, well, exactly that! I love it when artists immerse themselves in an idea, and these guys are completely covered in stuff that drips. Their logo drips, their artwork drips, and the music, yes, it drips. Their “mascot” is even named ‘Drippy,’ […]

Porta Nigra – Weltende (Fin de siècle Black Metal)
Is there another way to say “this one blew me away?” Well that rhymed so start with that, I suppose. No, I shall not! I shall not! Now and again a promo is so accurate in its description of a band it’s immediately obvious you’re about to hit upon something unique. Focusing on fin […]

Blasphemous Fire – Beneath the Darkness (Blackened Occult Death Metal)
Damn this one’s got some power. Dark, bestial power. It doesn’t take long to realize it, either. I mean we got blasphemy and fire in just the band name! Jeez! Do you need more? Well, musically that’s going to be provided here as well, incinerating all your friend requests, former lovers, and family members […]

Eternal Rot – Moribound (Zombified Grooving Death Doom)
Here’s a band that remains the same yet sounds…different? Explain this to me, boys. Having reviewed Eternal Rot’s last one, Putridarium, and seeing the same style of art by the same artist (Mark Riddick), I expected, naturally, more of the same. Zombified, grooving death and doom, that’s what I mean. Dripping. Slipping. Sticking? And […]

Djinn-Ghül – Opulence (Brutal Ethereal Death Metal)
This is almost something I wouldn’t have reviewed based on how it was introduced in the promo. The whole brutal death metal and slamming brutal death metal (is there a fooking difference, really?) is one of the most standardized concepts in the history of anything played with a guitar (heavily). And talk about redundant. […]

Disimperium – Grand Insurgence Upon Despotic Altars (Volcanic Death Grind)
Crap has it really been three years since I reviewed something from Sentient Ruin Laboratories? Not sure how that happened… Sorry bro. Actually I don’t think I dug any of the art until now, and also also I was super behind on promos some months ago and basically just deleted everything to start tabula […]

Gateway – Galgendood (WOW Cavernous Death Doom)
Wow. I mean wow. Like wow. More like WOW. Shit. Transcending Obscurity promos are usually always a solid. But, as you know, I reserve reviews on this site for the best of the best. Curated refuse, as it were. Our efforts are, now and again, supremely rewarded. I remember listening to Gateway before, I […]

Serpent Corpse – Blood Sabbath (Punkened Death Metal)
A new band with their first full-length? A disaster for some, a past they can never escape for others. “Yeah, but that first album was so good…” For Serpent Corpse, however, this would rather seem to be their advantage since they fit right in there with practically the entire death metal fray of the […]

Grotesqueries – Vile Crematory (Atrocious Oozing Death Metal)
Now it’s time for some ooze. Some rotting carcass ooze. That stuff that leaks out of coffins after so many years and is so completely corrosive it bores a hole in the vault in which the coffin lies to finally poison everything around it. Animals in the soil, insects, your water. Just atrocious. Now […]
