Dead Twilight - About The Prophecy
I had lost track of this Italian band Dead Twilight several years ago. "About The Prophecy" is their second official album after the demos released in the early years of their existence and their first full length released in 2015. Back to being a duo, the Bellante brothers release an honest death metal album so dear to the American sound. 9 ver...

Burn The Mankind - Chaos Matter
"Chaos Matter" is the second EP for these Burn The Mankind, band that come from Porto Alegre (Brazil). Active since 2009, the boys released only one full length in 2015 entitled "To Beyond". Burn The Mankind play a mix of death and grindcore and this "Chaos Matter" seems to be their best result, both in terms of production and songwriting. From...

Dead Carnage - From Hell From Hate
Dead Carnage are a band active since 2013 from the Czech Republic, with former members of Disfigured Corpse and Antigod. This "From Hell From Hate" is their second official album after the first full released in 2017 ("Flesh, Blood, Orgy"). The band moves on an old school death metal canon, which flows without any kind of compromise in all eight...

Lantern - Dimensions
The wait is over! Finally the Finnish black / death metallers Lantern return with their third full length album. "Dimensions" will be out via Dark Descent Records in the next days. Certainly many steps forward have been made, and the band's compositional path has been consolidated within these extreme sounds. The monolithic production gives the...

Mass Murder - Extreme Extinction
Mass Murder, a band formed by ex Necrotorture guitarist Francesco Corcio, arrive with this "Extreme Extinction" as their second official album after "Aracnofrenik" released in 2015. 9 tracks of pure and uncontaminated brutal death metal make up this work, much more mature than the previous one but which in essence does not give us anything new o...

Disabled - The Final Exhumation
With this "The Final Exhumation" we will really make a great jump in the past, returning to 1992... year of formation of this French cult band originally called Drowned. Disabled was born in Bordeaux in 1992, from four boys dedicated to a fierce and aggressive death metal of a clear mid-European mold. Within the group, stands out in the role of...

Exaugurate - Chasm Of Rapturous Delirium
We don't know much about these guys in Exaugurate, four pieces from, I believe, Birmingham - Alabama and, from what I found on the net, with members from bands such as Hollowed Idols, Ectovoid and Seraphic Entombment. The band was formed during 2020 and this "Chasm Of Rapturous Delirium" is their first ever EP. 4 tracks for a total of 20 minutes...

Reptilium - Adrenochromacy
Second EP of four self-produced tracks for this band from South America and more precisely from Ecuador. "Adrenochromacy" follows the other EP "Conspiranoic" released in 2019 after one year. The strange thing is that I never expected, listening to all the tracks for the first time, that Reptilium came from overseas. Everything sounds so damned Euro...

Active since 2016, the three guys released their first demo in 2018 and only after two years they release their first official work. Evoker present themselves with a sound attributable to an old school thrash / blackened / death metal. 6 songs witho...
