Album Reviews

Sweden’s Necrophobic returns with a staggering new album, “In Twilight Grey”. The songs here sound heavier, rawer, and more sinister, making them deliver one of their best studio albums of their career. Out via Century Media Records since last Friday!

French black/death metal band Necrowretch returns with another blasphemous album. Their fifth album “Swords of Dajjal” is fast and hellish and arguably the band’s best offering to date, out since last Friday via Season of Mist.

The maniacal duo of the Indian black/death metal outfit Tetragrammacide presents one of the best offerings in the extreme metal genre this year. “Typho-Tantric Aphorisms from the Arachneophidian Qur’an” spits venomous fire brought by the mastery of the percussive force. The album was released via Iron Bonehead Productions on November 3rd.

Omega Infinity’s sophomore album ‘The Anticurrent’ invites us into deeply cosmic lyrical concepts, bringing intensity and bizarre cosmic themes. Out via Season of Mist.

Seattle’s extreme blackened death metal trio Hissing has aspired for an ideal modus operandi on their sophomore effort ‘Hypervirulence Architecture’ with an experimental approach that comes similar to the likes of Voivod and Portal. Out on Profound Lore Records.

Archgoat perfectly embodies the ancient aesthetic of war metal in their latest four-track EP “All Christianity Ends” which plunges you into the morbid realm of the Luciferian darkness, and was released via Debemur Morti Productions!

Thulcandra’s sonic permutation recaptures the soulful essence that defines the majesty of the Swedish melodic black/death metal.

Lvcifyre continues to forge its hellish crescendo and with ‘The Broken Seal’the songs venture into the depths of the smearing abyss.

On the debut MCD Hell Strike conjures a demonic carnival of aggression, the group seems to be influenced by the likes of Necrophobic, Sadistic Intent, and Mortem.

Suffering Hour’s experimentation with claustrophobic dissonance and harmonies on the latest album is a testimony of the musical prowess.
