To be frank and honest with all of you right from the start here, I am not usually the biggest fan of bands that have the word symphonic attached to their, so-called, genre tag. Now I do know that I may be limiting myself to a point here where I could be missing high quality bands that I may find to be very good. Yet, for the most part, my instinct...

Starting out their life, as a band, way back in the year of 1992 and pretty much living comfortably in demo and compilation land for a while, which may explain why they did not release a "proper" full length album, "Machshevet Habriá (Myths and Conjectures of Creation,) until thirteen years later in 2005. And now Morcrof have now spent  another fou...

I am absolutely confused on how I have never heard of this band before since they have been around since 1999 and releasing full lengths since 2005. Especially confusing since they are a very original, odd sounding death metal band and that area of death metal is an area I explore and have explored extremely heavily. Yet, alas, I had not but now I...

Hailing from Amersfoort in the Netherlands, Shoot The Messiah bring forth onto you their version of this death/thrash thing that seems to have become very popular as of late.

In the year of 2012, in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico; Remnants Of Tortured were born onto this vile, filthy planet. The next year we undeserving filth were subjected to "Headless Sodomizer", Remnants Of Tortured debut, a crushing tour deforce of chugging brutality. Groove oriented, chromatic based, palm muted riffs, mid-tempo rhythms, paired with...

Formed three years ago in 2016 and subsequently releasing their first EP that very same year, the four piece know as Catalyst from Metz, France (and not the three bands know as Catalyst from the US) emerged onto the scene. A scene that could be plainly described and considered death metal yet it is so much more. There is the aforementioned death an...
