Swedish death metal four-piece Puteraeon delivers an epic and raw kind of death metal on their fifth studio album “Mountains of Madness”. Out via Emanzipation Productions since last month, May 30th.

The Swedish old school death metal powerhouse LIK imbibe from the rotten sound of bands like Entombed and Dismember. The fourth studio album “Necro” features many headbanging riffs, no fillers and high quality throughout, out via Metal Blade Records tomorrow, April 18th.

Swedish cult death metal band Wombbath return with their seventh studio album “Beyond the Abyss”, and is highly recommended for fans of obscure extreme metal, out since yesterday via Pulverised 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!

Entrails may not have offered anything new on its seventh album ‘An Eternal Time of Decay’, but there is an undeniable feel for classic Swedish death metal with songs that are equally catchy and aggressive . Out on Hammerheart Records.

‘Mass Destroyer’ is Demonical’s strongest album in the past decade. The result of their songwriting genius proves that Martin Schulman and Co. have kept their raw sinister core sound intact.

On the sixth album “Agma” Wombbath initiates a rather morbid approach to death metal making it the best effort since the debut album.

With “Worship” Hypocrisy managed to craft one of it’s best albums that combines the classic trademarks of these Swedish pioneers.
