Spheron - To Dissect Paper

Sephron are an unsigned brutal technical death metal band hailing from Germany and "To  Dissect Paper" is their new 5 track E.P. I have to admit the title is silly but contrary to that the cover is one of the coolest i have seen a while but thats irrelevant when it comes to the music. I must say Sephron have their shit down in creating an interesti...

Deus Inversus - Mastery Over The World

Deus Inversus play a rather heavy, quite demonic sounding blend of death metal reminiscing that of early Morbid Angel, perhaps some Nocturnus and in reference to their black metal influences, they do it quite akin to that of Behemoth. The production on offer here is quite raw although maintaining the heaviness but crystalline enough for the melodic...

Decimation - Anthems Of An Empyreal Dominion

Decimation are a goddamn brutal band hailing from Turkey! To be honest, i dont know if ive ever heard any bands from Turkey before but there ya go, I have now.

Overoth - Kingdom Of Shadows

Overoth are pretty much the "new guys" on the Irish circuit having formed in 2005 but credit where credit is due, they have gigged their balls off, extensively. "Kingdom Of Shadows" is their debut album which was recorded at Komodo Studios, in Hillsborough, Northern Ireland. Overoth very much embrace the sounds of the late 80s, early 90s death meta...

Abaddon Incarnate - Cascade

Abaddon Incarnate! Make no bones about it. I love em! The boys and my own band go way back and have shared a stage many times and its always an absolute pleasure to do so i am somewhat biased to the them. So i review this album as a fan with nowt but the utmost respect. Cascade is the lad`s fourth outing and marks their debut on Metal Age Productio...

Morphosis - Rise Of The Bastard Deities

"Rise Of The Bastard Deities" is the long awaited debut album from one of Ireland`s long serving death metal bands. These guys to me are of cult status here and to me dont get half the credit they deserve. Just to give the readers a little bit of background on Morphosis, these guys released a demo under the name "Asphyxia" to which the demo was cal...

Lifeless - Beyond The Threshold Of Death

Lifeless' debut salvo of an album opens exactly how it means to continue! With a blend of old school filthy death metal ala Entombed and Dismember. One would be forgiven for thinking these guys actually were Swedish because these guys say it loud and proud.... This is fucking old school. It's total Swedish death metal worship. But there's nothing w...

Masticator - Internal Inversion

Masticator hail from sunny Florida and to these ears have really captured the essence of the "florida" sound. Musically these guys sound of all the ol death metal favourites - Deicide, Cannibal Corpse perhaps a little Death, Obituary and Morbid Angel in there for measure. I got to say its executed to a high standard. The playing is great on this re...

Infested Blood - Interplanar Decimation

This album is an absolute assult on the senses!! It is worth saying this now because this CD is exactly that! Infested Blood play a technical blend of death metal inspired by the likes of Deeds Of Flesh, Disgorge, Suffocation and of course, their native brothers, Krisiun who would probably be one of the biggest death metal acts to come out of Brazi...

Cardiac Arrest - Haven For The Insane

I have to admit I was really really pleased and excited to see I had the new Cardiac Arrest album to review!! Having been labelmates with them over at the legendary Will Rahmer's (Mortician/NYDM) Redrum Records and being a fan since then, I knew what was cookin' on this cd. And It smelt good!!! Cardiac Arrest are a no frills, punch your face in...

Enthraller - Devil King Of The Sixth Heaven

Enthraller come from sunny Torrance, California and with them the bring you an early 90s feast of death metal. They are like an infusion of every band you like from that period and it can be heard in the Glen Benton/ Deicide esque vocal delivery with the evil highs to the almost Scott Burns esque like production. Even the writing styling are of a f...

The Murder Industry - Death Motivation

The Murder Industry are a barbarically brutal death metal band hailing from Espana ( thats spain folks) and are on none other than the legendary, Dave Rotten`s Xtreem Music label. This album starts off as it hopes to continue.Brutal, Blasting and guttural just the way i like it drawing influences from the likes of Nile, Decapitated, Cannibal Corpse...
