Album Reviews

VoidCeremony’s sophomore ‘Threads of Unknowing’ delivers a visceral piece of technical death metal showcasing the unrivaled mastery and jazzy approach for which the band became known. Suffice to say that this is one of the best albums in death metal this year. Out via 20 Buck Spin.

The sophomore ‘Death Age’ from the Los-Angeles death metal squad Kommand delivers a cavernous slab of brutality in the vein of bands like Bolt Thrower, the album is recommended for the connoisseurs of raw death metal. Out via 20 Buck Spin.

Majesties’ debut album “Vast Reaches Unclaimed” conveys the perfect sound of the Gothenburg melodic death metal, a stepping stone for the U.S. trio that has found its niche and inspiration from bands like In Flames, Gates of Ishtar and The Moaning. This is a highly recommended album for fans of melodic death metal, released via 20 Buck Spin.

Ulthar has managed to amass organic and blackened death metal aggression, taking the listener into cosmic loops of the outer realms of space. The two songs offer plenty of tremolo picked riffs, solid technicality and uncanny avant-garde. Out on 20 Buck Spin.

‘Anthronomicon’ sees Ulthar moving in its own unique territory offering a complex and intricate work that will please fans of Lovecraftian death metal. The trio has achieved their best level of songwriting without sacrificing the roots of old school death and black metal. Out on February 17 via 20 Buck Spin.

Tribunal’s debut album offers dark, doomy riffs and a beautiful array of other instruments like the cello and the strings creating a dramatic interplay between the beautiful melodies and the bleak female vocals, ‘The Weight of Remembrance’ offers all these elements in a graceful display. Out via 20 Buck Spin.

Acephalix’s fourth album “Theothanatology” is a crunchy raw death metal record coated with grooves and solid riff craft. The about half an hour-long record bares many hints from bands like Vastum and Gatecreeper. Out via 20 Buck Spin.

Dream Unending’s sophomore ‘Song of Salvation’ retains its gloomy doom-death tone. The end result is a very sentimental and atmospheric album. Mournful and dark, the album is recommended for fans of Anathema, Pink Floyd and Evoken. Out via 20 Buck Spin.

Daeva’s first studio album “Through Sheer Will and Black Magic” is a must for fans of blackened thrash metal, the Philadelphia quartet managed to boast some adrenaline energetic riffing, if you are into bands like Bathory, Nifelheim and Aura Noir then you must check out this stellar release.

Resonating with sepulchral melodies, Worm’s ‘Bluenothing’ is meticulously balanced between black doom and death/doom metal, demonstrating a natural transition into the dark ominous realms of symphonic black metal. Out via 20 Buck Spin.
