Album Reviews
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.
‘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.
