Övervåld – Vigarv (Blackened Death Crust)

Övervåld – Vigarv (Blackened Death Crust)

  Here’s a nice ear killer. Sweden’s Övervåld thus far have been slaying alone, with nothing but street support, and honestly they’re good for it, and don’t need you, or anybody to accomplish their already clear goals. With an over-Xeroxed aesthetic in both visuals and sound, their particular approach to blackened death crust doesn’t have […]

Rotpit – Long Live the Rot (Complexly Flippant Swedish Death Metal)

Rotpit – Long Live the Rot (Complexly Flippant Swedish Death Metal)

  I’ve seen bands evolve before, but rarely to this level. Rotpit’s first full-length came out over a year ago, and I gave that one a bunch of glittering generalities, some jokes about their style, but still with a strong positive recommendation, so imagine how tickled my tummy was when I saw a new one […]

Repuked – Club Squirting Blood (Perverse Swedish Death Metal)

  It’s time I faced the facts. I grew up listening to old school Pungent Stench, who developed that saucy, sweaty, butt smelling kind of grime that defined a genre in itself. But, after years of running out of ideas, some legal battles that kind of turned out alright, a stupid name change, and a […]

Hellbutcher – S/T (Covered in Spikes Blackened Speed Thrash)

  Yes, hmm, yes. I must admit I was hesitant about this when I first heard of it. Having listened to Nifelheim extensively, and still on occasion, for many years, I, like many, lamented their disbandment in 2022. Though, let’s be real, it was technically years before that as releases slowed and we’d get a […]

Sarcasm – Mourninghoul (Swedish Existential Death Metal)

  This one shouldn’t have been this good. I mean, I’ve heard of Sarcasm, but I always though the name was a little, heh, sarcastic, and found it tough to step further than a few brief listens because, well, I wasn’t sure how serious they were. I curse myself for this grave error. Death metal, […]

Intéremo – Buried in Rotten Remains (Crunchy South American Swedeath What?)

Intéremo – Buried in Rotten Remains (Crunchy South American Swedeath What?)

  This one surprised me for one detail. I swore to God and all previous pagan deities and whatever else that this absolutely had to be from somewhere in South America. Chile, I thought. But, nope, actually Sweden! Talk about incorrect! Anyway, this presents a conundrum and something unexpected at the same time. Swedish death […]

Bastard Grave – Vortex of Disgust (Brackish Swedish Death Metal)

Bastard Grave – Vortex of Disgust (Brackish Swedish Death Metal)

  This is the kind of album I’m going to refer to from now on as a “sinker.” It needed to sink on in there before I liked it, because to be honest, at first, it sounded like a million other promos I get every week. Okay so it’s only about 500, but still. That’s […]

Funereality – Til Death (STDeath Metal)

Funereality – Til Death (STDeath Metal)

  Well isn’t this fun? I’m probably going to far with my chosen fake genre for today, but it’s just how I’m feeling, okay?! After the downfall of Pungent Stench and a more recent release of an album stuck in production hell for years that was a general blah, I really missed that filthy groove […]

Gold Spire – S/T (Let’s Toss in Some Sax Swedish Death Metal)

Gold Spire – S/T (Let’s Toss in Some Sax Swedish Death Metal)

  I was pretty sure I was probably going to like this, so imagine my surprise when I really didn’t. Bummer. Gold Spire consists of members of some pretty important Swedeath bands, most importantly Usurpress. Swedish death metal has, simply put, been known for bending the rules, or outright discarding them. This one I saw […]

Revolting – The Shadow at the World’s End (Acceptable Swedish Death Metal)

Revolting – The Shadow at the World’s End (Acceptable Swedish Death Metal)

  So I wasn’t a big fan of this at first. In fact I wasn’t a fan at all. I pretty much hated it, but then I realized it wasn’t the fault of Revolting, I had just heard too much typical death metal going through the promos and I forgot, lol, this is the Swedish […]
