Album Reviews
Suffocation’s brutal and technical legacy remains the main attribute of these U.S. veterans, with the 9th album ‘Hymns From The Apocrypha’ guaranteeing a lesson in slamming brutality of the NY death metal style, out now via Nuclear Blast Records.

‘Nucleus’ is densely packed with a stratum of complex riffs and deep guttural growls. Within its time length of forty-one minutes the band swagger in applying overwhelming brutality.
Over the thirty minutes of its duration, VoidCeremony has competently dazzled me with their unique and professional talent.
Disembowel’s Echoes of Terror is soaked with the retro fashioned riffs and has a very refreshing vibe of guttural death metal.
Coffin Curse offers much diversity along with the retro fashion style of the Floridian death metal.
Vile Apparition’s “Depravity Ordained” is one for the old school death metal lovers among us!
Abiogenesis was shaped and saw a steady evolution with multi-faceted ingredients. The album opens with a colossal track Revival where the guitar riffs are performed to meet the classic death metal standards.
