Album Reviews
With ‘Erebos’, Venom Prison steps into a new chapter of their career with a massive album that will impress a whole lot of people!
The sophomore ‘Death Revival’ of the Greek stalwarts Abyssus proves that their songwriting and musicianship is at peak level.
Verbum’s first full length album “Exhortation to the Impure” takes a profound approach to death/doom metal, this is definitely an album that you shouldn’t miss.
On the sixth album “Agma” Wombbath initiates a rather morbid approach to death metal making it the best effort since the debut album.
Nocturnal Graves fourth album “An Outlaw’s Stand” is full of raptures and grits where the Aussies deliver the outright rampage of blackened thrash/death metal.
‘Echoing Chambers of Souls’ reeks of ghastly ambiances that offer a dark trip into the cavernous realms of death metal.
‘Realms of Exquisite Morbidity’ is far from a generic death metal album. The songs are as complex and heavy as a
monolithic mountain.
With the sophomore ‘Chimaera’ Phrenelith has transformed into an inspiring institution for contemporary bands.
With “Worship” Hypocrisy managed to craft one of it’s best albums that combines the classic trademarks of these Swedish pioneers.
Abscession on the sophomore “Rot of Ages” managed to exhibit new musical grounds of Stockholm death metal.
