Norway’s Kryptograf came under my radar in 2022 with their sophomore release The Eldorado Spell. I loved it so much that I reviewed it, it was in my top 10 that year and I obtained their killer s/t debut. The band plays a very heavy stoner doom/ psychedelic metal and with album number three – […]

It’s pretty crazy to think Dave Rotten’s Avulsed has been around for over 30+ years. Phoenix Cryptobiosis is the band’s 8th full-length album and the band shows no sign of slowing down. Avulsed still plays a filthy style of death metal, that is quite a bit reminiscent of early Cannibal Corpse. When I listen to […]

Are you ready for some quality Power-Metal?? Indiana’s Prehistoria released a very good debut ep, in 2022, Cursed Lands. It fell under the radar, but it showcased some excellent songwriting and lots of noodly guitar moments. Armed with a label, Stormspell Records, known for their high quality output of classic and power metal bands, Cryptic […]

Alabama’s Chaos Inception released two cool albums years ago. Collision with Oblivion in 2009 and The Abrogation in 2012. Both albums were heavily influenced by the first three Tucker lead Morbid Angel albums. Stick with me, since this is like six degrees of Chaos Inception! Well, Vengeance Evangel is the long-awaited third album after line-up […]

When Håkan Stuvemark contacts me I listen! He’s in a zillion bands. Most notably, for my liking is: Wombbath (my review forthcoming), Rex Demonus and Consumption. We’ve been in touch for like 5 years now and I did review the first Consumption album back in 2020, Recursive Definitions of Suppuration and loved the music and […]

Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, this is 4/5 of Swedish tech death legends Spawn of Possession, reborn: Guitarists Jonas Bryssling and Christian Muenzner, vocalist Dennis Röndum and bassist Erlend Caspersen. And they welcome into the fold, the new dude, Odius Mortem drummer KC Howard. I loved Spawn of Possession and felt their final […]

Canada’s Thrash Legends Sacrifice returns with the sixth album, the aptly named Volume Six. It’s been a minute since their last one, The Ones I Condemn, was released in 2009, that was their comeback album and I guess this would be considered another comeback album? Suffice it to say I interviewed this very same band […]

This Italian death metal band, Shrieking Demons, has come up with an album cover that is insanely awesome and it’s the first thing that drew me to this debut album, The Festering Dwellers. They released an EP in 2021, Diabolical Regurgitations, which was ok, however, this debut album is a lot of fun. 10 songs […]

Scotland’s Folk/Pagan Black Metal band Saor, under the sole guise of Andy Marshall, and guest musicians, return with Amidst the Ruins, their sixth album. This is their most adventurous and most expansive album to date. The 12+ minute title track leads the charge, opening this terrific album, with a long blast beat which has other […]

Mutagenic Host hails from London, England and is an up-and-coming death metal band, who released their The Genotoxic Demo in 2023. Their filthy and sludgy brand of death metal is impressive and they one-up their demo with their debut album – The Diseased Machine. 10 songs in 41 minutes and “Neurological Necrosis” starts things off […]

I have been a fan of Spain’s Onirophagus for quite some time. I reviewed their 2013 debut album Prehuman and interviewed them for a different site, at that time. The band blends doom and death metal perfectly and it’s been some time since their last album, their second one from 2019 – Endarkenment (Illumination Through […]

Cerebral Hemorrhage was a short-lived NYDM from the late 90’s to the early 00’s. In 2001 they released their only album Exempting Reality. They combined the slam and style of Internal Bleeding, Dehumanized, and Repudilation. All NY slam bands and I’ve even read online reviews about the debut album and vocalist Matthew Szablewicz being compared […]

Sweden’s Paganizer returns with their 13th album, Flesh Requiem. This is one of Rogga Johansson’s main acts in the numerous amount of bands he is actively in, which is a lot!! Paganizer has morphed over the years into a quality Swedish death metal act, with the HM-2 buzzsaw guitar sound. It is not as bludgeoning […]

I’ve followed Yoth Iria for several years now, and reviewed their debut ep Under His Sway, in 2020. Since then this Greek black metal band released a killer debut album in 2021 As the Flame Withers. Last year they put out an interesting two-song ep Flame of the Whirling Swords that was more ethereal and […]

My bud Alex, the owner of Dolorem Records, has sent me another promo for one of his bands and this time it’s for Ad Vitam Infernal, a death metal band hailing from France. The album cover is quite striking and with all of his releases this is the best one yet. with the Devil and […]

Switzerland’s Aara return with their sixth full-length album and marks the end of their Triade trio of releases. I reviewed the last one in the series, Triade III: Nyx, in 2023 and Eiger, continues forth with the same stable lineup, as their prior albums. Boasting a very cold and depressing album cover ( “Eiger” is […]

Italy’s Kaivs released the Horrend ep last year and all those songs have been re-recorded for their debut album – After the Flesh. The Dan Seagrave type of striking artwork drew me into this album. The color hues of yellow, purple, blue and red really is eye-catching. It’s all fun and games with cool album […]

Mythbegotten is a folk metal band with epic metal qualities that combine brutality with black metal-ish musical moments. The band hails from the New England/Upper areas of New York.

Chicago’s Gigan has been around for close to 20 years. I’m trying to wrap my head around this!! I’ve known the main man and axe grinder Eric Hersemann for like 30 years. On their last tour for their fourth album Undulating Waves of Rainbiotic Iridescence, I got onstage with them and did opening growls with […]

After a pretty extensive stay with Willowtip Records Defeated Sanity was snatched up by Season of Mist and Chronicles of Lunacy is their first release for their new label. This is their seventh full-length album and Defeated Sanity knows how to pack a solid uppercut with streamlined songs. It fits them best since they’re pretty […]

I’ve reviewed my fair share of Sentient Horror releases and have seen this New Jawsey HM-2 Swedish-inspired death metal band live after their outstanding Ungodly Forms debut album. I still feel their debut is by far their best release and their other releases have been good and well-received by the fans. Their last album, their […]

I am new to the sounds of Sweden’s Carnosus. They remind me of Denmark’s Crocell, before Crocell went black metal. This is pretty high-quality melodic death metal, which has a good chunk of brutality to it. Wormtales is their third album, and I picked up their previous releases after receiving this promo. I mean just […]
