Flesher – Tales of Grotesque Demise (Soaky Bath Bomb Flogging Death Metal)

  Ready for a lame analogy of an intro? This is like a soaky bomb in steaming water with candles to a fan of death metal. An album that relaxes for its familiarity and calms the mind of a death metal fan. “Ah, there it is, I remember it,” you say. For this phenomenon to […]

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 […]

Detherous – Unrelenting Malevolence (Blatantly Blatant Death Thrash)

  For a band that’s been around for almost a decade, I feel bad I didn’t know of Detherous until now. Why? Whatever, we’ll forget that mystery and instead focus on the blatant. This is blatantly death thrash. I’ve said it many times, sometimes you need your music as such. Just totally fooking obvious. I […]

Atomic Witch – Crypt of Sleepless Malice (Witch is Cool Death Thrash)

  Well, what a nice mix of things this one is. I remember some years ago I went through a phase, let us say, of ripping on bands that used ‘witch’ in their name. Just too many of them! And here I am reviewing new drops by Acid Witch and now Atomic Witch in the […]

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 […]

Black Mass – Feast of the Forbidden Tree (Blackened “The Metal”)

Black Mass – Feast of the Forbidden Tree (Blackened “The Metal”)

  Oooo here’s a nice one. I likea me some thrash of the more violent type, but there’s more to this than that. And, to be honest, I thought Black Mass was going to be some power metal RPG bullshit about barbarians stealing your women but it ended up being sickened blackened old school thrash […]

Morbid Breath – In the Hand of the Reaper (Fooking Death Thrash)

Morbid Breath – In the Hand of the Reaper (Fooking Death Thrash)

  Oh yeah we got some death thrash here with fooking dragons, fooking castles, fooking crumbling stairs, fooking medieval torture devices, fooking lightning, and yeah even a fooking grim reaper crowning all of it with a fooking scythe. And being that Morbid Breath is also from fooking Sweden, you can anticipate that In the Hand […]

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 […]

Angel Morgue – In the Morgue of Angels (The Redundant of Blasphemous Death Metal)

Angel Morgue – In the Morgue of Angels (The Redundant of Blasphemous Death Metal)

  I was trying to figure out why in the hell I enjoyed any bit of this after a few listens in spite of its seemingly redundant approach. I mean just look at that cover. Though cool, it couldn’t possible be more redundant. Titling an album In the Morgue of Angels when you’ve already covered […]

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 […]
