Stillbirth - Global Error
Listening to the album "Global Error" for the first time, I immediately thought of a Cephalic Carnage band. The reason of the association that arose from me is not related with the similarity of these groups: contrary, the music of Stillbirth is quite individual. The analogy can be traced only in terms of the presence of a variety of musical experi...

Pandemia - At The Gates Of Nihilism
The current situation in the death metal scene makes it difficult for me, frankly, to distinguish one from other: clean guitar sound in the brutal death metal, furious blast beats in melodic death metal - in general, extreme music does not stand still. When I started to listen Czech band Pandemia, I initially was confused because I wanted to def...

Horrified - Descent Into Putridity
Evil presents itself to us in various guises, as you know... This time it was disguised to us as Horrified (death metal - evil). These "unholy of hell" clung to my brain from the first song by means of acrid sound. In their information they identified themselves as "old school". But at my guess, the definition of style depends largely on the fil...

Calm Hatchery - Fading Reliefs
So, death metal from Poland... Few people not knowing that Poland is the place of extreme metal movement and strong death metal, black metal, and other bands. The guys from Calm Hatchery also keep the bar on top despite their relatively young age. I inquired and learned from the information that I was able to find about them that many of them are n...

Display Of Decay - Outbreak Of Infection
I am always expecting something unusual and extraordinary from Canadian metal bands. There are many examples to take like Cryptopsy, Gorguts, Annihilator (if to take trash), and so on, and more - the list is long. Display Of Decay did not disappoint me in this. Indeed, I heard what I expected from a group from Canada, which is already known or beco...

Phalloplasty - Systematic Mutilation
When I was going to listen to Phalloplasty, with only preliminary information about them, I expected to hear the usual brutal "chopping". Feeling of monotony and boredom has disappeared, better - it doesn't come near: I heard quite interesting riffs, items of slam included in the general rhythm, also the melody that was carefully hidden behind a br...

Scrotoctomy - From Torture To Putrefaction
Slamming brutal band from Mexico Scrotoctomy is a decent quality sample of brutal creativity. In principle, you can try and listen to the end without getting bored, because this EP is not too long. But the "From Torture To Putrefaction" album listens easily, it really does. These guys have achieved a very good sound, which is really catchy. Of c...

Morbidity - Revealed From Ashes
Recently in metal music, interest to the past revived again, if I may say so. There are many bands playing thrash metal, crossover, and old school death metal. The band from Bangladesh Morbidity plays death metal. I have read somewhere that their style is called the old school death metal. I will not argue with this statement, but I'll just say abo...

Krigsgrav - The Carrion Fields
Before I listen to some music, from time to time I am looking for information about it on the internet, although it is not so important to me. Frankly speaking, it even spoils the impression. "I think that the band is playing in such and such, in certain and this style" - in each article someone tries to fit a group under a standard, "put into the...

Human Butchery - Psychopath Abduction
Intending to listen to the guys from the Human Butchery, I expected a little bit else. Usually Mexican groups give priority to brutality: after listening to the album "Psychopath Abduction", I was not disappointed. Yes, they are bloody butchers, don't let us down with brutality. Nevertheless, the band pleasantly pleased me: along with the brutality...

Kevlar Skin - Transmigrator
Sometimes it happens that you listen to some group and notes to yourself: "Yes, here was a good guitar riff, and here cool blast beats, well done backing vocals" — and all in the same spirit: you analyze, i.e. perceive music "by the brain". Then you think to yourself: "Well, when? Well... a little bit more and it just should catch me!" — but alas.....

Serrabulho - Ass Troubles
The musicians of Serrabulho - happy guys from Portugal, playing in the style of grind, or to be more precisely, porno grind. Their music is laconic, it follows the traditions of minimalism. Perhaps listening to this album, it is possible to feel the influence of the classics of the genre, such as Gut, Rompeprop and other similar groups. These...
