Torture Rack – Primeval Onslaught (Better Than Good Enough Death Metal)

Torture Rack – Primeval Onslaught (Better Than Good Enough Death Metal)

  These past two weeks I’ve had a bunch of “eh, good enough” death metal promos to sort through. And you know what? I don’t have time for that anymore! I don’t want “good enough,” especially not with “eh,” I want better than good enough! I want at least almost better than that! The best […]

Undead – Putrefactio (Nu-Death Metal, Actually Not Just Kidding)

Undead – Putrefactio (Nu-Death Metal, Actually Not Just Kidding)

  This is a good example of a band that takes itself way too seriously in group photos, but once you listen to it you say “damn it to hell if you don’t deserve to act that way.” Light corpse paint, scary faces, grim stares, leaning (gasp) towards nu-metal aesthetic, I mean come on! Should […]

Corrupter – Descent into Madness (That Punishing Type of Death Metal)

Corrupter – Descent into Madness (That Punishing Type of Death Metal)

  I needed some punishing blows to my soul this week hot damn. I like need more potassium in my body or something and everything is out of whack (very true real-life story). I want to go full beast again so this is my current placebo this week until that becomes a reality, but even […]

Casket – Urn (It’s in the Details Death Metal)

Casket – Urn (It’s in the Details Death Metal)

  Here we have a seasoned band adjusted to the level of “very.” In death metal that means one of two things. One, you never learned how to deviate and develop, or two, you tried but failed to grasp modern death metal’s current trends and just sound geriatric. Germany’s Casket, to our delight, are neither […]

Sadistik Forest – Obscure Old Remains (Blasphemic Destruction Metal)

  Oooooo those lovely Finns do it again with a touch of blasphemy, with a touch of spite, with a touch of… I mean not these guys in particular, just like any metal band from that country practically. Sadistik Forest has technically been around for some time, but didn’t hit full stride until about ten […]

Siege Column – Darkside Legions (Xerox Notebook Torture Art Filth Metal)

Siege Column – Darkside Legions (Xerox Notebook Torture Art Filth Metal)

  Ah yes, so happy to see these guys emerging again from their rank cavern dungeon along the rotting ship banks of New Jersey filth waters where they lurk. And I love getting out mouthfuls of cruddy words to say it. Siege Column already perfected their socially awkward, emotionally abused metalhead scribbling murder art sound, […]

Fleshdriver – Leech (Almost Tiresome Death Metal)

Fleshdriver – Leech (Almost Tiresome Death Metal)

  Well, here’s a release that almost wears out its welcome but manages to press a smile into your cheeks anyway. Carrying on the tradition of Floridian death metal come Fleshdriver, a drum and guitar tag team that, to date, have but two singles and Leech, a demo, to their name. For lacking bass and […]

Shezmu – À Travers Les Lambeaux (Mummified Death Metal)

Shezmu – À Travers Les Lambeaux (Mummified Death Metal)

  Yeah that’s all I got for today, mummies, but it’s totally accurate, or rather just watch me make it work. Though Shezmu are heavily laden with Egyptian themes in their earlier work, their latest, À Travers Les Lambeaux is subtle in this regard, so it’ll be tough. But let’s start by saying if you […]

Scolopendra – Those of the Catacombs (Vocally Sophomoric Occult Death Metal)

Scolopendra – Those of the Catacombs (Vocally Sophomoric Occult Death Metal)

  Well this is a curious state of affairs. Two of the dudes in Abhor and two random dudes from other bands appear to have a side project of sorts, or perhaps just a one-off, we don’t know yet because this is the only thing Scolopendra has done. It came out of nowhere, and it […]

Eternal Rot – Putridarium (Bowel Disgorging Groove Death)

Eternal Rot – Putridarium (Bowel Disgorging Groove Death)

  Oh man what a filthy groove. Stuff like this is hard to hate. Downright impossible in most cases. Or, at least in the case of Eternal Rot it is truth to speak as such. I’ve heard these guys before but I can’t remember what led me to pass on the review. Either I got […]
