Album Reviews
‘Degenerations’ is one of the best death metal albums released this year. If you are into some eccentric type of death, then this is a must.
Gosudar’s latest endeavor offers many twists the complex craftsmanship and the unique quality of the music captures the grisly tone of classic death metal in such an inspiring way!
Those who recall the old classic style of death/grind metal of the early nineties era. The sophomore release “Prying Sight of Imperception” recaptures the classic gore/grind and death metal sound.
Mvltifission has remarkably possessed the fundamental and the odd quality of Finnish death metal. ‘Decomposition in the Painful Metamorphosis’ is a must for fans of Demilich, Convulse and Demigod.
On their first studio album Diabolizer conveys the traditional dynamics of the late nineties and early 2000s brutal death metal. ‘Khalkedonian Death’ is recommended for fans of Severe Torture, Vomitory and Grave.
You like Nervosa and Burning Witches. You’re crazy about death metal. Then check out Crypta’s debut ‘Echoes of the Soul’, which has it all.
Drawn And Quartered on their eighth studio album proves that they’re deeply rooted in the underground realm of old-school death metal. Recommended for fans of Incantation, Immolation and Imprecation.
‘Excretion of Mortality’ obtains its brutality from the caveman riffs and the abrupt shifts in the visceral drumming work. The seven tracks manifest the putrid style of the Finnish death metal of the early nineties.
‘Humanoid’ is by far one of the best EPs released this year. If you are into old-school brutal death metal, then I recommend checking out their latest effort.
Marianas Rest seeks to expand and critique melancholic melodic death metal on their sophomore album.
