First album for these French death metal band called Voorhees, a band active since 2017 which by logo and name refer to Jason Voorhees from the "Friday The 13th" movies. "Chapter Two", as we said, is the band's first full length after the 2017 EP called "Chapter One" and the single of the song 'The Lucky Ones Die First' (later included in this albu...

"Beheading The Snake" is the second album by this German band called Disminded. Active since 2009, this latest work comes after 2 demos, an EP and the previous full "Out Of The Ashes" released in 2015. Disminded play an impactful death / thrash metal that reminded me so much of the well-known but at the same time underestimated Dew Scented and i...

Debut album for this French two pieces band Ad Vitam Infernal, active since a couple of years and dedicated to a type of black/death with clear old school references. "Infernal Comedy" includes 8 songs, very similar to each other, that take inspiration from the old death metal scene like Centurian, Morbid Angel, Immolation and Deicide... but also f...

Second EP, one year later from the last one, for this USA/Canada all-star blackened death metal band. "King Of All Demons" is the second effort for this ensemble that included people like Flo Mournier (Cryptopsy, Vltimas) on drums and John McEntee (Incantation, former Mortician/Immolation) on rhythm guitar. For this EP the band was reduced to a thr...

Excellent beginning for these Germans guys, arrived just 2 years after their birth, to release, through the increasingly active (and on time) Testimony Records, their first full length entitled "Tales Of Sorcery And Death". This work (released in December 2019) confirms how much good the band had made us notice when in 2018 they released under Unho...

Third official album for Pestifer, Belgian band active since 2004. This "Expanding Oblivion" comes about 6 years after the previous work, quite a long time for a young band like them. Before getting an idea of this album, I had to listen many and many times all the tracks contained on it. "Expanding Oblivion" is not an album of easy description...

This is the very first time I've heard something about these Red Dead, french trio active since 2011. This "Forest Of chaos" should be the second official full length after "Therapy Of The Evil" published in 2017. Fortunately it was a nice surprise because these guys have released a really interesting album from all points of view. 12 songs, inc...

Third album for the Italians Devangelic, brutal death metal band from Rome, Italy. After their debut "Resurrection Denied" released in 2014 and the following (and much more mature) "Phlegethon" in 2017 comes now (official release May 15) this "Ersetu" under the increasingly active and enterprising Willowtip Records. Also the label for which the gui...

In the various and multiple record releases heard in the last years, I had missed these Fractured Insanity’s guys. A band that I had the opportunity to appreciate when they released their first album “When Mankind Becomes Diseased” in the far 2007. This Belgian band has done a lot on the streets, going from the second album released in 2010 (“Mass...
