Aborted. This is a band that in my mind, needs no grand introduction, however that would be doing them a grave injustice. The extremely hard working death metalers based out of Belgium, have a vast body of work that extends back to the mid 1990’s. This is a band that has continuously progressed over the […]
Death Metal
Ex Deo – The Thirteen Years Of Nero
A concept album on one of the most well-known and infamous Roman emperors is an idea that will inevitably make people have big expectations and Ex Deo have definitely fulfilled them with this release.
Ophidian I – Desolate
With the release of their debut full length titled Desolate, released on Season of Mist Records, Ophidian I has launched themselves into the upper echelon of technical Death Metal supremacy.
Night Crowned – Hädanfärd
With ‘Hädanfärd’, Night Crowned have delivered another strong album on which they’ve found the perfect blend between melody, aggression, technical prowess and with a nod to the Scandinavian metal heritage.
Pestilence- Exitivm
“You can’t teach an old dog new tricks”, so they say. That saying bears weight sometimes and often that can be a good thing when speaking about some of our favorite metal bands. However, this phrase does not quite pertain, at least in its entirety, to legendary Dutch death metalers, Pestilence. With the release of […]
Crescent – Carving the Fires of Akhet
The mysticism of Egyptian mythology is brought to life in a furious modern way through Crescent, a blackened death metal band from Egypt that has been formed as far back as 1999, but is only starting to break through recently and with that impress many in the scene. The band returns after three years since […]
At The Gates- The Nightmare of Being
Since their return in 2014, At The Gates have been slowly introducing more progressive elements to their iconic sound. With The Nightmare of Being, they’ve completely brought it to the forefront. I’ve loved the change the band has made since At War with Reality and appreciated it when they brought it out more with To […]
Asphyx – Necroceros
The amounts of bands in the world of Extreme Metal that make it out through the ages, while still maintaining their musical core without steering too much left or right to please bigger crowds (or companies), can basically be counted on one hand. Most either wither away with time, or in a desperate move change […]
Belial – Gods of the Pit II
There was a time decades ago before all the computer modernization where death metal was king for raw aggression. This next release is going to take us back to a time where it wasn’t about the refined album production, audible vocals or the perfect tone. It was about grabbing an instrument, for me it’s a […]
Therion – Leviathan
Three years after the ambitious project “Beloved Antichrist”, Therion is back with “Leviathan”. In contrary to the previous record, Leviathan is more of a regular record, where Beloved Antichrist was a big scale project, which was more of a theater play made into an album. Now, we can say that every Therion record has its […]
