BOG BODY – Cryonic Crevasse Cult

May 23, 2022 0

New York’s Bog Body are a extreme metal band that’s been active in the scene since 2016 and have presented us their debut full-length recording of Cryonic Crevasse Cult which is released through Canadian based label Profound Lore Records. Bog Body’s style and approach into creating such enduring, mythological and sacrificing style of both death and sludge metal with little traces of doom in the mix is a nice balance into incorporating these arrangements and immersive signature style melodies provide […]

SEPTICFLESH – Modern Primitive

May 19, 2022 0

Anyone who knows me very well or reads this review will know that Greece’s symphonic death metal titans Septicflesh are in my top ten favorite band’s of all time list. I have been a massive supporter and fan of these guys since 2008’s Communion which in my opinion still is one of their finest album’s in the entire catalog. After a five year gap between 2017’s masterpiece of Codex Omega and now the most recent of Modern Primitive, Septicflesh are […]

ALTARS – Ascetic Reflection

May 12, 2022 0

Everlasting Spew Records are one of my favorites in the extreme metal world with so many heavyweights coming from that label. And this time around, Altars are a Australian power-trio band that will not only transcend and transform into making such impeccable music, but this band definitely deserves your immediate attention and direct support. Ascetic Reflection is a hybridization of self reflective, oppressive and parallel style of death metal that is full of resurrection, power, detail and a possible cult […]

ARTIFICIAL BRAIN – Artificial Brain

May 9, 2022 0

For nearly a decade in existence, New York’s technical death metal band Artificial Brain have been making waves throughout the last several years making themselves a establishment in the extreme metal community. I first stumbled this band around the time their 2017’s sophomore full-length titled Infrared Horizon was released and it was such a explorative, exotic and progressive driven records not only in 2017 but it was the album that instantly made me a fan of the music. This latest […]

United Kingdom’s death doom metal crafters Consecration welcomes you to their forbidden doors and have unleashed their latest offering Cinis which is released through the amazing label of Redefining Darkness Records. To describe their sound is taking wide ranges of death metal but also incorporate doom melodies and structures making this record melancholic, comfortable and engaging all the same time as this is like a combination of early Paradise Lost, the gothic like arrangements of My Dying Bride, Anathema and […]

SENSORY AMUSIA – Breed Death

April 29, 2022 0

2021 had amazingly crafted albums from Frozen Soul, Rivers Of Nihil Carnifex, Cannibal Corpse and many more to come but I think 2022 has been the most surprising and stacked releases so far. Today, this band known as Sensory Amusia are a upcoming extreme metal project that takes heavy emphasis on modern death metal and hardcore signatures that is best described if Dying Fetus, Misery Index and Aborted had created the most abrasive, melodically driven and technical displays of extreme […]

VISIONS OF ANNIHILATION – The Inception Of Chaos

April 28, 2022 0

As someone who’s been a compassionate fan of the brutal death metal genre for long as I can remember, bands like Pathology, Devourment, Katalepsy and more have really resonated with me as I expanded my horizons in the extreme metal community and became one of my most consecutive listens on my playlist day in and day out. Texas’ Visions Of Annihilation are a extreme metal band that should be paying close attention because the scene in Texas is truly one […]
