Orme are a three piece Doom Metal trio from the U.K. who produce heavy, epic music that is a bit bare bones, but still engaging without the sleepiness factor of Funeral Doom. Taking a page from Deathspell Omega, the band recently released their single track EP “No Serpents, No Saviours” which is gritty, thunderous, and about 24 minutes of pulsing d...

France’s duo Morgue are back after a few years and sound better than before. “Close To Complete Darkness” is a thicker, more lumbering beast as the band shifts a bit more away from their Grincore roots and more towards Death Metal, but it still sounds heavy like their last effort just reined in a bit. Still touching on the Hideous Divinity and Immo...

Deathcore has been pretty much known as the ‘workout man’s music’ with its rather bludgeoning style over the years; only recently has it been expanded upon to be more than breakdowns. Pretty much fans of the genre either love or hate it with little in between while it is in its early 2000s state, but with more ‘accessibility’ by adding anything fro...

It has been a long time since one heard any new music from France’s Gurkkhas, and this isn’t really a new album but more of a ‘pull one from the vault and dust it off and compile the editions together so we may remind listeners that they exist’ album from Great Dane Records. For those who have followed these guys since the late 90s before their ina...

“Incineration Victory” is the debut album from Sweden’s Blackened Death Metal group, Grave Heresy. Walking a fine line between the genres, but leaning more towards the blackened side of things alongside groups like Werewolves. Listeners should expect a sound that is a mix of Marduk meets Hate Eternal for mostly fast, blistering songs with that Thra...

It has been 4 years but Belguim’s Death Metal outfit Wound Collector are back with a new album. Well, sort of. With only 4 tracks “Begging For Chicxulub” is more like an EP and a brief glimpse into where this 5 piece is headed but it definitely shows growth since their last effort back in 2020. The lineup is pretty much still the same, save for the...

Siroll! are a five piece Death Thrash band from Spain that have been active since roughly 2008 and their fourth full length album dropped this year in June.

Goatizm is a welcome side project from the Netherlands headed by Joey Veerbeek who is known for a lot of bass (and some vocal work) in several Death Metal bands such as Caedere and Vermin.

It is a bit hilarious that a band would call themselves Upper Decker, but it is no worse than Party Cannon. Granted, this Death Metal group from France should be taken with a grain of salt and expect humorous results mixed with plenty of brutality to boot. While not quite the Slam-fest that some might expect, each track does feature that lumbering...
