Horrid Mass – Nauseating Ecstatic Degeneration (Stygian Death Metal)
Sometimes, death metal bands get way too verbose. I suppose it’s a method for hiding a lack of skill. It’s like a thing, or rather a trope, that’s been around for ages now, and at this point it’s more of a trick to avoid the obvious fact that most band suck. Toss in some […]

Hrob – Brána Chladu (Heterogeneitic Brumal Death Doom)
Everything about this album is so damn cohesive, even something so apparently simple as the album title, because nothing escapes the clutches of Slovakia’s Hrob. Yet we have fools out there referring to this as “putrid” because they lack the skill to understand the finer details of a band’s sound. Brána Chladu reveals not […]

Candarian – Trepanación (Idiosyncratic Gore Metal)
Lol at first this band was called “Canadian” and I was like WTF have too many cool and “brutal” terms been used that we have to desperately reach at anything including random country names? Then I realized there was an ‘R’ in it and I can’t read. Now, getting into the actual subject at […]

Thaumaturgy – Pestilential Hymns (Pestilential Death Metal)
I don’t believe I had heard of Thaumaturgy before this one, so one can assume they were something of a whisper in the community, which at this point returns as a virulent plague. Their latest here, Pestilential Hymns, is a masterful, one-man (now apparently three) descent into a suffocating miasma of blackened death metal. […]

Obscurial – Heretic (Puncture Wound Death Metal)
Alright, let’s start with this is probably the best metal band to come out of Malaysia, ever. I don’t want to hear about anyone else after this, and don’t you dare try to say “well, what about X,” because I’ve heard it all and I know already. Don’t try with me. As usual I […]

Coffin Curse (Darkly Negative Death Metal for You to Love)
Yes, I love Chile! I want to live there! Basically every band submission I get from the country is golden. Send me a plane ticket Coffin Curse I want to hang out! Then we can celebrate your greatest release to date, The Continuous Nothing, which is rather the opposite. More like continuous awesome. In […]

Dipygus – S/T (Devonian Beast Sludge Death)
This is one of the few bands that came in the promos in the past year that really nails their themes and aesthetic to a degree that deserves attention alone. I’m not sure entirely how to define what you’re about to get out of this, either, but it’s a mixture of center of the […]

Martyrdoom – As Torment Prevails (Pneumoniac Death Doom)
For a name that sounds like a poor play on words at first, these guys can bring it. And talk about a comeback, phew! Having been absent from the scene for roughly six years, it’s almost as though they were reborn to reclaim the glory that was lost. I’ve heard some good death doom […]

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 […]

Hexorcist – Evil Reaping Death (Old School Florida Death Metal Lol)
Oh great, here we have some more old school death metal. Can you take any more? Can I? Well, if it’s stuff like Miami Florida-based Hexorcist, then the answer is actually yes, believe it or not. But what does this type of sound entail? I could drop names to make it clear, but for […]
