Album Reviews
Marduk’s fifteenth studio album “Memento Mori” perfectly fits with the raw aesthetics of the band. In terms of quality and songwriting the ten tracks offer sinister and furious black metal, this is one of the band’s best albums and is set for release this Friday via Century Media Records!
The superb musicianship of US heavy metal outfit Spirit Adrift delivers another glorious record with fifth album “Ghost At The Gallows”. This comes recommended for fans of Khemmis, Black Sabbath, and Solitude Aeternus and was released via Century Media Records!
“Hamartia” showcases the band’s memorable songwriting and wittingly transitioning into an era of prosperity, Tribulation has created its own sub-genre of dark gothic music and continue to expand their trademark palette. Released via Century Media Records.
Virginia’s thrash metal/crossover act Enforced returned with an infectious thrash metal record that will be a strong contender for the albums of the year lists. For those who are hunting for some quality music to go nuts on, “War Remains” is highly recommended. Released via Century Media Records.
Metalcore institution Unearth is back with some melodic and brutal core tunes on their new album ‘The Wretched; The Ruinous’, released via Century Media Records!
The Texan old school death metal five-piece Frozen Soul returns with their second offering “Glacial Domination”, a punishing slab of heavy grooves, and stomping brutality. This is a great momentum for this band that has proved to be a top-tier talent in achieving great success in span of five years. Released via Century Media Records!
Finnish post-punk revivalists Grave Pleasures have released their new record ‘Plagueboys’ with Century Media Records a couple of weeks ago. A celebration of bleak early goth as if it were a lost record from the eighties, while still being remarkably upbeat and danceable.
With ‘Anno 1696’, Insomnium created a new refreshing album that shows a different kind of style than what they have released of late. It became a raw, blackened and fierce release that really embodies the dark part of history that it’s based on. Out this Friday via Century Media Records!
Sanguisugabogg’s newest album “Homicidal Ecstasy” is everything that the band aimed for in terms of songwriting, the songs may not be too technical or complex, but they are overwhelmingly infectious and brutal. The album is recommended for fans of grindcore and death metal, released on February 3 via Century Media Records.
Brazilian death metal juggernauts Krisiun return with a brand new album ‘Mortem Solis’ which is an explosive amalgamation, full of rapid transitions and solid brutality that will for sure please the fans. Out on Century Media Records.
