Fitcage - Pigumanity
I have to admit, I had in recent times lost interest in crust/grind, purely because it lacked anything new. It's went through a phase when all bands wanted to sound like Nasum and this is where I drew the line. I just couldn't take it anymore. There was Rotten Sound, Regurgitate and a plethora of other bands who embraced the Nasum sound. It didn't...

I've been a fan of Dawn Of Chaos for quite some time and have spoken with vocalist, Paul Hartburn for quite some time also so ive always been fairly up to date with the goings on with this lot. Last i heard they had undergone alot of lineup changes and i was sent this free promo pack from Paul there the other day so of course, who is gonna turn do...

The Rotted - Anarchogram
Under the name of Gorerotted, The Rotted, had 3 full length albums of brutal blasting death grind with abit of tongue in cheek humour (put your bits in a concrete mix?!). Since then they have gone all serious dropped the "Gore" in the name (They were affectionately known by fans as "The Rotted") and embraced abit of crust punk sound featuring quite...

Mutant Supremacy - Infinite Suffering
Woah!!! Now that sure is fuckin`heavy!! Brooklyn, New York`s Mutant Supremacy serve us up a massive slab of death metal much in the vein of Incantation and Morbid Angel. The production on offer here is so damn thick and heavy. The guitars are huge and super detuned and very chainsaw esque. The drums are very real sounding,with every cymbal hit jarr...

Decrepit Womb - Promo 2010 ver1.1
Saturday Morning, 23/10/10, I have now been eagerly waiting my Decrepit Womb promo for something like 3 weeks now. Now I had heard a few seconds of the songs on MySpace but I never go by MySpace on anything as everything is compressed blah blah. It just doesn't represent any given band. So to my delight, Geoff (guitars) had been in touch to inf...

Exit Wound - Heavy Metal Steamin' Fingers
I dont think I have heard the use of the word "fuck" in a CD in as much as this. These young Derry lads have been about since 2005 creating a blend of hard rock/metal clearly influenced by Pantera (perhaps hence the overuse of the word, "Fuck"). I can clearly hear a Pantera influence throughout in the guitar playing much embracing a very power g...

Malevolent Creation - Invidious Dominion
Its gotta be said the last few Malevolent Creation albums have sucked! To this listener anyway, i havent enjoyed a Malevolent Creation record since "Envenomed" but everyone know the real Malevolent Creation lies in the form of "The Ten Commandments" and "Retribution". Two absolutely blinding albums that will forever be etched in our minds as the ba...

Nalvage - Worship Dehumanization
I wasn't too sure what to expect with Nalvage as the name doesn't give too much away about nor make any suggestions. Upon first listen, I am greeted with a very Mayhem-esque distorted soundscape intro. To be honest, when I heard this I was a little disappointed because I thought "oh no not a full on black metal band". Then the first track " Viscera...

Scrambled Defuncts - Souls Despising The God
Russian brutal deathsters, Scrambled Defuncts, latest album, Souls Despising The God is a very interesting listen and i have to admit quite far removed from previous offerings. This is their 3rd full length with other releases being abit more "normal" sounding brutal death metal. Upon first listen, one is greeted by the sound of symphonic orches...

Fractured Insanity - Mass Awakeless
Fractured Insanity play a super technical blend of death metal much akin to a cross breeding of Hate Eternal, Decapitated and Cryptopsy. Their songs are fast and very unrelenting. Hailing from Belgium and releasing this stomper on the legendary, Dave Rotten`s Xtreem Music, this album houses some seriously technical but catchy songs. The production...

Destroying Divinity - Dark Future
I had the absolute pleasure of sharing a stage with Destroying Divinity way back in 2003 at Obscene Extreme in their homeland, Czech Republic. I stood and watched as they had only one guitarist, a vocalist and a drummer, but my god they were heavy. Back then they were lying down some slamming grooves, although bassless, it got my head moving for su...
