Album Reviews

Caustic Wound have transformed their debut into a harsh and jarring experience of corrosive grindcore mastery.

Rat King’s ‘Vicious Inhumanity’ scores high in its first half, but leaves somewhat to be desired towards the end.

Martyrdöd hit another homerun with their follow-up to 2016’s ‘List’: ‘Hexhammaren’

Despised Icon’s ‘Purgatory’ is their usual perfect blend of hardcore, death metal and grindcore. It definitely holds a spot in my personal classics.

Deathgrind legends Misery index are back with full force with their latest exploit ‘Rituals of Power’. Less grind, more thrash, but still full-on death metal.

“Cease to Exist” is Noisem’s best effort to date and it has all the grinding elements of old school metal, this is more of a mixed up styles which have been compacted into one massive package.

Terrorizer’s latest album “Caustic Attack” has been out for some time, but we finally managed to get the review out.

French brutal death metal ensemble Benighted bless us with their new EP Dogs Always Bite Harder Than Their Master.

Anaal Nathrakh are still pushing the boundaries of extreme music to its furthest limits. The dynamic duo from Birmingham have done so with each new release, and this time’s no different.

Obey the TerrorVision! Aborted’s tenth full length album is truly testament to the lasting impression left by both brutality and melody.
