With a couple of full lengths already under their belts this Dutch black metal outfit launches their third album of retro blackened filth that sees the band taking their influences from a quarter of a century ago and to excellent effect creating a snarling, slavering villainous album with curious album art and very atypical to what you’d expect fro...

Ok lads. Deep breath and let's get into something brainiac. Anachronism, from Switzerland and let the darkness of Morbid Angel meet the technicality of Atheist and Cynic and the wrath of Decrepit Birth and Defeated Sanity. Can you imagine a fine blend of these bands? If the answer is yes, then you can pretty much sum up what Anachronism is all abou...

The comedic route is compellingly chosen for <b>In Demoni</b>'s second record, and third musical offering since their 2016 EP release, titled '<i>Genetic Degeneration</i>'. These German death metal bruisers are a little hidden under the radar it seems, yet should be out there with some of the bigger names in this boastful scene. '<i>The Grand Sl...

After some confusing lineup changes, California's <b>Alterbeast</b> are back with their 2018 record, '<i>Feast</i>'. '<i>Feast</i>' offers us 9 new tracks of face-melting deathcore fused with death metal, whilst maintaining their already acclaimed technical status in the metal scene. It's a pity to admit that the brilliant and colourful album ar...

Screams, shouts, voices and glass breaking are all sounds that greet you when first play the debut full length by Finnish act Spiritual Holocaust who have one EP out previously. 'Raped By Religions' is the said opening track and a typically corrosive guitar sound oozes from the speakers alongside a guttural gnarly vocal style which is beastly and t...

I have always loved Finnish death metal acts, they have always been that bit more guttural, that bit more brutal and Sadistik Forest, whose band name I’m not convinced by I must admit, have been added to that ever growing list of top quality death metal bands from that country. This is their third album and whilst I’ve not listened to their other t...

Cumming out of Hostert, Luxemburg and not taking anything seriously, these 6 weirdos that form Mike Litoris Complot are here to deliver a mix of all that's extreme. You'll come up with the typical pornogrind-grindcore themes, combined with brutal death metal and slam occasionally. Everything of course is sprinkled with a large dose of healthy "stup...

Originally from Japan this four piece band is now one part Japanese and three parts Italian and now resides in Italy and has released two albums since 2010 with the last one being released in 2015. The music business is hard and cutthroat and for bands to make headway they need to maintain momentum and a three year gap is fairly long between releas...

There are only a handful of bands I have in my collection from Lebanon and I am sure that it must be challenging to be an extreme metal band in the country alongside other acts such as Blaakyum, who I saw at 2017’s Bloodstock Open Air, Ayat and Kaoteon both of whom I have reviewed albums by before. Lagrima are a two piece project fronted by Ayman A...

As you’ve probably discerned from the album title this release was out in 2003 and at the helm of this band is a guy from Italy called Albrecht who I think has reissued this album again though I am uncertain as to whether it is digital only or if it is getting a physical product as at the time of its original release it was extremely limited to a h...

I have been a huge supporter and fan of the underground unsigned self funded metal scene ever since I discovered it back in 2008. However a good friend told me about how this 1 man band are currently tearing up stages everywhere so I went and checked it out for myself.</p><p>After receiving 2 EPs from this outstanding 1 man band known as Foul Body...

Abhorrent Deformity have made such an improvement since their last effort. The 2 albums are like night and day in comparison. Their new album “Slaughter Monolith” is outrageously horrific in such a passionate way. Devastatingly beautiful in its deliverance, the listener must still prepare for the intense brutality spewed forth from these 4 gentleme...
