Album Reviews

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.

Leper Colony ticked all the boxes when it comes to firm delivery and the at most quality of songwriting. All in all, the self-titled debut album incorporates the raw and inspiring riffs of old-school serious ass kicking death/thrash metal. Out via Transcending Obscurity Records.

“Apotheosis” is by far the Deiquisitor’s strongest effort to date and the guitar work, in general, is absolutely incredible. Although the 4th album isn’t necessarily considered a refinement it’s more of an evolution and setting up of new trademarks for the band. Out on January 20 via Extremely Rotten Productions and Night Shroud Records!

Death metal veterans Obituary’s 11th album offers superior aesthetics for defining the style of Florida’s death metal at its finest. “Dying of Everything” will grind your bones to pieces, out via Relapse Records.

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.

”Viscera” is a sonic nightmare sustained by the abrasive elements of blackened death doom, Strigoi depicts utter bleakness and redefines its style where the band takes a logical step forward from the debut album. Released via Season of Mist.

“劇變 (Jubian)” is an extreme and brutal death metal record that mixes classic grindcore and death metal elements, there are many bands today that seem to bring a form of classic nostalgia but Ripped To Shreds has found the right balance between these elements. Out via Relapse Records.

“In Nomine Diaboli” shows the Texan quartet Imprecation in its strongest form, offering a slew of demonic brutal death metal. The new studio album is a demonic pandemonium that captures the hellish aesthetics of blackened/death metal, out on October 14 via Dark Descent 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.

Suppression’s debut ‘The Sorrow of Soul Through Flesh’ sees the Chilean band incorporating an array of elements from technical death and thrash metal that falls under the same ilk as bands like Ripper.
