Album Reviews
“Hideous Entity” is a bludgeoning death metal album brought by the methods of the Danish and the Turkish style of death metal.
Massacre’s fourth album “Resurgence” presents a real treat for the fans who had been waiting for the band to revive its classic raw sound.
“The Black Mouth of Sepulchre” delivers unmatched performance from the Danish that will rather bring them to the top echelons of European acts.
Apparition’s unique identity sets new sonic paradoxes that seem untraditional to the style of the death metal trend. And comes as highly recommend for fans of Fetid, Innumerable Forms, and Disembowelment.
Putrevore’s “Miasmal Monstrosity” is relentlessly brutal and holds true to the band’s musical nature in presenting a putrid and odious quality of brutal death metal.
Qrixkuor’s full-length album is truly mystifying and full of twists, if you are into bands like Portal, Abyssal, and Teitanblood then check this malicious piece of death metal album out.
Occulsed debut album ‘Crepitation of Phlegethon’ is steeped in cavernous old school death metal putridity.
The sophomore from the Canadian death metal duo Altered Dead brings many influences from the Swedish and the American death metal.
Some of the more intense, crazy progressive metal tunes can be found on Between The Buried And Me’s ‘Colors II’. No easy listening music for the faint hearted.
“Hades Unleashed” is a groovy and aggressive death/thrash metal record that will take you on a thrilling ride.
