Album Reviews

The sixth studio album ‘Host’ by the Swedish heavy metal powerhouse Portrait, channels 80s speed metal and NWOBHM on its fourteen new tracks. Out on Metal Blade records.

Per “Hellbutcher” Gustavsson incarnates the old school satanic black/thrash on his new project band Hellbutcher. The self-titled debut presents a high quality of classic raw metal that would remind fans of the glorious era of 80s. Out on Metal Blade Records.

Sorcerer returns with an epic dark album on its fourth installment “Reign of the Reaper” and brings an absolutely great slab of late 80s and early 90s heavy metal out since yesterday via Metal Blade Records.

U.S. heavy/doom metal veterans Cirith Ungol return with their sixth epic studio album “Dark Parade”, presenting eight thundering hymns of glorious 80s heavy metal, out on October 20th via Metal Blade Records.

Florida’s death metal titans Cannibal Corpse bounce back with their sixteenth album “Chaos Horrific” fulfilling their legacy as they once again fortify the ante. With Erik Rutan making his second appearance, Cannibal Corpse deliver some brutal material to their fans yet again. Out on September 22nd via Metal Blade Records!

Re-united Swedish death metal four-piece Vomitory is back in action. The tenth album “All Heads Are Gonna Roll” is brutally and technically outstanding, out via Metal Blade Records!

The tenth opus “Terrasite” in Cattle Decapitation’s catalog focuses on the slower melodic trademarks without sacrificing its sonic brutality. This is another high-quality output from these progressive death metal/grindcore maniacs, and I will not be surprised to see it on fans’ top albums of the year. Out via Metal Blade Records!

The recording of Killswitch Engage’s epic pandemic era live stream, ‘Live at the Paladium’ out via Metal Blade, is a masterclass in banging tracks and killer metalcore, both of modern times and from back in the day!

Whitechapel has made the album they always wanted to make and they finally found what they we’re looking for.

“Rugia” is another welcoming effort from this Polish band that never ceases to impress the old and the new fans.
