Dead Head has been around since the late 80s, and are still alive and thrashing to this day. Hailing from the Netherlands their seventh full length album, “Slave Driver” is one part late 80s Slayer and one part mid 2000s Legion Of The Damned. A good mix of death metal and thrash, but not quite signature like Vader from Poland does. One can def...

Listeners may not be aware of the 1999 name transition from Jugular Appetizer to Morgue Supplier, but this second album "Inevitability" in their newer name is the perfect blend between death metal and grindcore. A balance that few rarely achieve in such high regards, yet Morgue Supplier almost seem to achieve this with perfection.'Absurd Identity'...

Polarizing and raw would be the best way to describe the EP from U.K.’s blackened doom band Swords Of Dis. Relying heavily on atmosphere and dissonance in a mix of what some could say Funeral Mist meets Deathspell Omega, the band has a tendency to swap between very atmospheric, slow songs and the faster, more typical lo fi black metal style. “Cor M...

Second full length for the Dutch Carceri after 11 years from the previous "The Good Must Suffer The Wicked" and already active since 1995 first as Heavy Mozart and then as Detonate. For the new "From Source To End" the Dutch band calls a certain Robbe Kok behind the microphone, whom many of you will know as the current vocalist of Arsebreed and Dis...

It’s been 9 years since their first self-titled album. Nine years filled with many live shows and split CDs with various monsters of the scene. At last though, the time has come for this Polish, grind/crust beast to unleash its full power for the second time. Second full length and it comes with the title “Power To The People”. Yep…you heard right!...

Written In Torment is one of those unknown bands that have been around forever, but tended to lurk just below the radar of notice while still being prolific in releases. With 4 full length albums under his belt now, England’s blasphemous Leviathan (not the be confused with U.S. based Wrest of Leviathan) dons the blood and corpsepaint again for anot...

Black Webs And Angelsex is the first official full length for this Netherlands one man band Gorge Of War. A project by MVG that deals with all the instruments. We know practically nothing about this character if not about his militancy in the metal field since 1999. "Black Webs And Angelsex" comes only one year after the EP "Caverns Of The Sli...

Patroness are a five piece group from Belgium and “Fatum” is their debut album for the metal world to hear. A bit of a hybrid there is black metal and doom with touches of stoner sludge, but all of it cohesively comes together for a rather unique experience. The music tends to pretty clearly state when it is the black metal or doom/ sludge, but not...

Having members or ex-members from bands as Devangelic, Natrium, Vomit The Soul and Septycal Gorge in your ranks, there is only one genre you pledge your allegiance to. Super-fast, super-tight and totally destructive brutal death metal. Posthuman Abomination are back with their second full length album and what we get is nothing less than the previo...

Provectus rose from the ashes of the melodeath group Galning from Belgium for a much more sinister take on metal. Going more the black metal route, these three members craft a sound more like 1349 or Sargeist but with a bit more atmospheric flair that makes things sound darker rather than lush. While the typical black metal tropes are there be it t...

Roaring like a freight train 3 years after their debut, the German based Nightbearer bring forth a heavy concept album based off the fantasy writer Robert Jordan’s “Wheel Of Time.” While “Ghosts Of A Darkness to Come” is a bit more sinister, in lyrics and sound, it does justice for the fans of the book with the approach and avoids as much as possib...

Slob grace us with their debut offering entitled “Deepwoods Shack Of Sodomy” and when you have a band name and an album title like this, how can you go wrong? While pushing the envelope of shock value, the band attack things head on with a veracity shared by many label mates, however, Slob seem to stand out from the rest in that they rely more on t...
