I'd have to conclude that this is Deicide's last good album because not only does it carry with it the similar characteristics of their previous releases but it still contains the originality in the guitar riffs definitely. Of course lyrically Glen Benton writes his usual hatred towards the higher power or God if you will plus the album cover depic...

Well, it took me some time to get used to this album and instead of concluding that it was completely a waste of a release. I came to the conclusion that it wasn't utter crap. The music combined with the lyrics seemed to have somehow fit into place more so than just listening to the music itself. Their topics didn't really grab my attention it was...

The true kings of black metal reign fully once again because they refuse to give in and let go of the talent they wholeheartedly possess. They reign this genre and seem to have progressed with each succeeding release ever since their original formation back in 1990. Though they've had lineup changes, this didn't mean that they were going to abandon...

This release is from my standpoint better than their last few efforts. I'd say it's their best since 'Conquerors Of Armageddon'. The riffs aren't as noteworthy as that release though. I think that they're more versatile now then they have been in past releases. It's not just blast beating galore there's a lot more variety now. There's also an acous...

Columbian based band here shows some promise to their nine track release 'Rain of Fire'. The opening track has a Hitler speech in the background. This is how they are portraying their image. It's difficult to tell what genre of metal they fall in because most of it resembles death metal with a heavy thrash metal influence. Death metal is probably t...

Formed in Sweden in 1992, Naglfar has five full-length releases total since then. 'Pariah' is their fourth full-length. They've gone through quite a few lineup changes since their first coming together as an official band. Four members are featured on this one. Their latest release entitled 'Harvest' is the only other album that I own out of their...

It's quite difficult to believe that this band has been around since 1982. They started as a punk rock band, which then became extreme grindcore and now are currently playing grindcore/death metal. This newer sound fits the band better. They've also gone through several lineup changes since their origin. On this new release, they feature Mark "Barn...

I'm new to hearing industrial/electronic type of metal... But this release has gotten me hooked! At first, my impression was that I could never really get into these styles. Though now I know I'm wrong about that! 'A Greater Darkness' explores many different changes throughout the entire album. From the beginning, it represents a more death metal i...
