<p>Greece’s Carthage continue to storm ears with their history lessons of Rome, this time with their EP and third chapter entitled “Third Punic War.” Their last album back in 2021 was a storm of Death Metal influenced heavily by the likes of Hate Eternal and Aborted with a hailstorm of riffs and guttural vocals that scorched ears and left eardrums...

<p>Get ready for some heavy Old School Death Metal from Poland with SoulCarrion’s 2nd full length album, “Enthrone Death.” Similar to <a href="https://brutalism.com/review/SoulCarrion---Infernal-Agony" target="_blank">their first album</a>, it is still rooted deep in the mix of Immolation meets Incantation for that reverb heavy, guttural sound mixe...

<p>Here we have a split from 2 raw Finnish bands who both perform a sort of Old School Death Metal but with Grindcore influences for a very fast, but still enjoyable album. The first half is from five piece Infected Priest who have been around since 2013 and haven’t really done much since their demo from 2017 so 6 years later it is good to hear fro...

<p>Horrible is a relatively new project that started in 2019 with Pro-Pain member Jonas Sanders on drums and Olivier Dris from Resistance on guitar. Wanted to expand their group, this Belgium band branched out to other members of Resistance in 2022 like bassist Ben Sizaire, guitarist Sven of&nbsp;<span class="x4k7w5x x1h91t0o x1h9r5lt x1jfb8zj xv2u...

<p>Infection is a relatively unknown band from Lima, Peru that have been quiet for a while, but finally thunder back since 2014 with their third full length album, “The Cryptic Homicides.” Following a pattern of Brutal Death Metal with melodic elements, listeners will find themselves engorged on this early Cannibal Corpse meets Obituary mix that is...

<p>A raw crushing demo is what listeners get with the recently formed Abhorrent Execration from France. Released on Nekrassious Tapes and limited to only 66 copies, one is going to get 4 tracks of curshing, fuzzed out Old School Death Metal. A cross between Incantation and Torture Killer, expect a loud but tastefully groove laden album. This duo kn...

<p>Norway’s Blood Red Throne has had quite the career since their inception in 1998. With only 1 original member since the beginning (guitarist Død who was known for playing with Satyricon for a bit), the band has seen numerous line up changes, especially in the vocal department. However, these changes seem to have kept the Death Metal band fresh o...

<p>It has been a long nine years, but Belarus’ Challenger Deep have finally put out album no. 3 with “The Path.” For those not familiar with this rather underground but talented band, they perform a mix of Sludge, Doom, Post, and even Black Metal, offering up some rather lengthy, but tasteful tracks. Nine years is a bit of a stretch to wait for an...

<p>Rabhas hail from Italy and “Propaganda Antiuma” is their third full length album (and first to be signed to label Broken Bones Promotion). A four piece that has mostly stayed consistent, there has been a change of vocalists between the last album and this one, so listeners will get something different, but not by any means in a bad way. For new...

<p>It is a wonder when bands put out an album, go silent for nearly 2 decades, and then suddenly pop back up on the map. This is the case for Denmark’s Thrash Metal band Lipid, a 4 piece that started up in 1995 and put out their debut in 2006 but have been subtly quiet ever since. Relatively unknown in the Metal world, Great Dane Records have picke...

<p>Endbroken are a relatively new band to Great Dane Records being as “Defeat Of Common Sense” is their first full length debut album, but they’ve been around since 2015. A five piece from France, there have been since changes in the group since their last EP in 2018. Most notably they gained the former vocalist Mitch of the likes of Aphelion and H...

<p>We haven’t heard anything from Infected Chaos in the past since <a href="https://brutalism.com/review/infected-chaos-dead-aesthetics" target="_blank">"Dead Aesthetics" from 2021</a> (which I had the pleasure to review), but it sounds like they’ve been hard at work improving their sound with their new EP “Conjuration Overture – Vanity Is Dawning....
