Album Reviews
Marianas Rest seeks to expand and critique melancholic melodic death metal on their sophomore album.
“Mercurial Passages” is utterly obscure and emphasizes a doomy atmosphere. Recommended for fans of Obliteration, Autopsy, and Demilich.
Celestial Sanctuary has successfully managed to release a gripping piece of old-school death metal. The British quartet has brought something exceptional and uncommon in the modern age of death metal.
Anarkhon musical themes are seemingly influenced by the Lovecraftian stories, the music conjures a horrible atmosphere that plunges you into the deep abyss of space and darkness.
“From the Sulphur Depths” is full of heavy death metal riffs, the Italian lads have perfectly nailed a crushing sound on the sophomore effort.
Crypt of Despair has achieved new heights with their second album, the approach is organic, raw and massive in scale and intensity.
3 songs which gives a sense of what has been and what could have been with Bodom After Midnight. A worthy addition to Alexi Laiho’s repertoire and career. May the Wildchild rest/shred in peace.
Cannibal Corpse’s fifteenth album is weighty and viscerally thrilling brought by high standards, the cohesive performance makes each song sound viciously aggressive.
Australian sludge metallers of Sumeru released a duo of scathing tracks that have definitely some interesting elements in them!
The second new album called Reflective Duality from the deathcore band Repaid In Blood.
