Djinn-Ghül – Opulence (Brutal Ethereal Death Metal)

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. […]

Putridity – Greedy Gory Gluttony (Brutal Death Metal for Modern Sensibilities)

  I’ve been neglecting poor old brutal death metal for awhile now, but it’s not my fault, I swear. It’s the fault of the bands! It’s the fault of the labels! Everyone but me! And though the blame-game is everyone’s excuse it’s totally valid here because brutal death metal is actually, not metaphorically, the same […]

Mutilatred – Determined to Rot (Like What Do You Want Exactly Brutal Death Metal)

  Well I took my time on this one, breaking my mantra of (usually) no reviews after release date, also of reviews of stuff that will totally blow your mind. But in my defense I already had this one ready to go, needed to listen to it more, and the connection at the place where […]

Putrevore – Miasmal Monstrosity (No Name-Dropping Brutal Death Metal)

  This is one of those releases where you could drop a load of names by means of comparison and that would be the review. Hell it has one dude from Avulsed and another from Paganizer so…for fans of… But I’ve never liked that approach because it eschews a discussion of the band itself, in […]

Ashen – Godless Oath (Methinks Good Australian Brutal Death Metal)

  A church burning in a more artistic way on the cover? Methinks me interested. Oh, and wait, these chaps are from Australia? Oooo, there’ve been some good things in death metal, methinks, coming out of that island of terrors for some time now, so it’s worth a listen for that fact alone. Australian death […]

Kryptik Mutation – Pulle from the Pit (Clearly Brutal Death Metal)

  Oh damn we got a monster cover here whooo. Also impalement. Through an eye. Why is this happening and what does it mean? It doesn’t matter, folks, because this is Kryptik Mutation! They’re not here for the sake of clarity, unless you specifically mean brutal death metal with a legible logo. They’re absolutely clear […]

Werewolves – What a Time to Be Alive (Actually Brutal Death Metal)

  With such a genius cover making every attempt to disturb me (it won’t work, though) I knew Werewolves had only a slight chance to deliver what I wanted. What do I want? Sometimes I have no clue, though now and again I pray to get a good punk or hardcore submission, but if someone […]

Siaskel: Jatenentolpen Thejin

You know, usually you see a logo that looks like a combination of sticks and sinews and you figure “oh, here we go, one of these bands,” but now and then behind the logo is a name that deserves reading, and a proper font.  Siaskel has an interesting approach in concept, and usually that kind of thing […]
