Gig Reports
This night at the DVG would be a night of cavernous, rotten old school death metal with US legends Funebrarum alongside Finnish filth mongers Morbific.
From early ignition to full-scale eruption, Neckbreakker set the spark, Comeback Kid tore the room wide open, and Gojira turned a sold-out Zénith de Lille into something truly monumental. Innovation, intensity, and absolute commitment, this was Gojira on home soil at full force.
At the beginning of this month, Belgian metal supergroup Coffin Feeder set up shop in the Ancienne Belgique in Brussels and nearly destroyed the Club room, with the help of local support from Horrible!
Report of a killer night of extreme metal with co-headliners Benighted and Baest with special guest Coffin Feeder!
With Turmion Kätilöt you always get an amazing disko metal party and with supporting acts Japanese black metal outfit Sigh and the Finnish melancholics of Marianas Rest we got quite the diverse musical evening at Pakkahuone in Tampere, Finland to start a long Easter weekend! An event organized by Nem Agency.

Amorphis managed to captivate our reporter once again when attending to their stop at Pakkahuone in Tampere on their “Halo Finland 2023 Tour”, a wonderful night hosted by TuskaLive and Greybeard Concerts & Management.
The French symphonic melodic death metal outfit Aephanemer came to On The Rocks, saw a wild crowd and conquered everyone’s hearts! Here’s for hoping that they get to come back to Finland some time really soon! And local up-and-comers Numento definitely got us warmed up properly for the main event!
Nervosa came to On The Rocks in Helsinki to prove to us all that they are still a force to be reckoned with, even though the band is in yet another new iteration at the moment. With Prika on vocals, they sound as solid as ever, and killed it. Local heavy metal heroes Satan’s Fall were special guests and warmed us up nicely for the good old thrashing we were getting later.
Trivium and Heaven Shall Burn came to Finland to tear it up at Kulttuuritalo Helsinki, but not before Obituary and Malevolence softened up the crowd with some killer sets! An event by Live Nation Finland.
The kickoff of the European tour of Kataklysm came in a package of some old school Canadian death metal mixed with the Swedish melodic death metal of Soilwork topped with a sauce of the progressive antics of Wilderun. Quite a lot of variation which satisfied a lot of people. Make sure you catch this tour whenever it comes to a venue near you!
Album Reviews
Finnish black metal act Archgoat cements its ultimate definition of war metal on the sixth full-length studio album “Nightbringer, Lightbringer”. The trio imbue a riffing bestiality bordering on a demonic presentation of their morbid craft. Out via Debemur Morti Productions since last Friday, September 11th. Catch them next year live at Steelfest 2027!

Sněť emerged with a new identity on its sophomore album. “V bažinách vědomí” is a moldy and brutal death metal album that fits the criteria for elite Czech bands. If you like bands like Krabathor and Undergang, then look no further. Out on Dark Descent Records and Me Saco Un Ojo Records since September 10th.
Links
Miscreance reaffirms its musical evolution on its second full length album “Reminiscence” while simultaneously pushing unique standards of jazzy-influenced technical thrash-death metal. This is a must for fans of Death, Pestilence, and Atheist. Out via Season of Mist since August 28th.

Left to Die offers an aggressive cavernous sound; the veterans recapture the evolution of Mantas and the early years of Death. If you consider yourself a fan of old-school death metal, rest assured “Initium Mortis” offers a true passion for raw 80s metal. Out since July 17th via Relapse Records.

Ripper offers a brutal slab of relentless 80s death/thrash metal. The band keeps its formula within a deranged intensity where the musical approach does not veer from relentless onslaught. “Towards Rebirth” was released via Dark Descent Records on July 24th.

Chilean-based death metal band Rotten Tomb are at their prime in the underground Latin American scene, and there’s no doubt that the third album “Vestiges of Tortured Souls” blends catchiness and brutality. Out via Nuclear Winter Records since June 6th.

The third studio album “Beckoning the Void of Eternal Silence” is a dark and grim death metal record.

Out via Pulverised Records since May 29th.
Links
“Cruel Face of War” is packed with the headbanging riffs that Jungle Rot is known for, as well as technical precision. The quartet took their sound to a new level with the twelfth studio album, and the songwriting justifies the band’s legacy. Out via Unique Leader Records tomorrow on May 15th.

The Texan maniacs cemented a crushing sound on their third studio album “No Place of Warmth”. Frozen Soul tightened its bolts and screws and deliver brutal transitions from up-tempos to sleek lead guitars, grooves and relentless rhythmic hooks. Out via Century Media Records today!

Draconian has returned with one of their best outings to date. The brilliant musicianship and gothic death-doom style continue to resound from the bygone gothic era of the 90s. “In Somnolent Ruin” out via Napalm Records this Friday May 8th.
