Dieth – To Hell And Back – Album Review

Artist: Dieth Album Title: To Hell And Back Label: Napalm Records Date of Release: 2 June 2023 When a band is comprised of bassist David Ellefson (ex-Megadeth), ex-Decapitated drummer Michał Łysejko, and vocalist/guitarist Guilherme Miranda previously of Entombed A.D. fame, I’d be a silly man to not at least check out their musical offering. The  Continue Reading »

Thulcandra – Hail The Abyss – Album Review

Artist: Thulcandra Album Title: Hail The Abyss Label: Napalm Records Date of Release: 19 May 2023 It’s entirely possible that 2023 could become known as the year of blackened death metal. With a number of quality releases already at the disposal of the genre afficionados, we’re offered yet another tasty platter, in the form of  Continue Reading »

Frozen Soul – Glacial Domination – Album Review

Artist: Frozen Soul Album Title: Glacial Domination Label: Century Media Records Date of Release: 19 May 2023 Sometimes, when you’ve had a bad day, you just need to let off some steam, and listen to some brutal, uncompromising music. You’ve had a bad day at the office, the Government do something else to wind you  Continue Reading »

Graveworm – Killing Innocence – Album Review

Artist: Graveworm Album Title: Killing Innocence Label: AFM Records Date of Release: 28 April 2023  I first discovered Graveworm via their 2003 album, ‘Engraved In Black’. I bought it blind and, apart from the odd song here and there, I listen to it very infrequently. In fact, after buying this record, their fourth full-length studio  Continue Reading »

MMXX – The Next Wave – EP Review

Artist: MMXX Album Title: The Next Wave EP Label: Candlelight Records Date of Release: 14 April 2023 I don’t often review EPs these days, but on this occasion, I had to make an exception. And the reason is simple: the clientele. Intrigued? Read on… MMXX is so named because it is an entity that was  Continue Reading »

Demonstealer – The Propaganda Machine – Album Review

Artist: Demonstealer Album Title: The Propaganda Machine Label: Black Lion Records Date of Release: 31 March 2023 It’s the story of 2023 it seems – reviewing albums long after they have been released. It isn’t necessarily deliberate, but a by-product of the fact that I’m desperately trying to achieve a few things. Firstly, there was  Continue Reading »

Obituary – Dying Of Everything – Album Review

Artist: Obituary Album Title: Dying Of Everything Label: Relapse Records Date of Release: 13 January 2022 Whilst straight-up death metal hasn’t always been a favourite genre of mine, there are a few bands that I’ve nevertheless rather liked. Obituary are one of these, mainly because of their no-nonsense brand of riff-heavy and generally groovy style  Continue Reading »

Revocation – Netherheaven – Album Review

Artist: Revocation Album Title: Netherheaven Label: Metal Blade Records Date of Release: 9 September 2022 For a band that seemingly creates new material faster than you can say ‘new release’, a gap of four years between albums is something of an unexpected headline. Nevertheless, this is the reality with which we are faced, in part  Continue Reading »

Bloodbath – Survival Of The Sickest – Album Review

Artist: Bloodbath Album Title: Survival Of The Sickest Label: Napalm Records Date of Release: 9 September 2022 Bearing in mind that I spent the entirety of the pandemic repping these guys with my Bloodbath facemask, it would feel incongruous were I not to review their latest album, even if it did drop during a period  Continue Reading »

Artist: Epoch Of Unlight Album Title: At War With The Multiverse Label: Dark Horizon Records Date of Release: 16 September 2022 Out of a silent 17-year void come Epoch Of Unlight, ready to unleash their first new material since 2005’s ‘The Continuum Hypothesis’. Formed way back in 1990, when I was still vey much in  Continue Reading »
