• Dehumanized “Prophecies Foretold”

  Aggressive, morbid, relentless and twisted. Hailing from New York, this four piece group has released a highly original album of torturously brutal death metal. Prophecies Foretold forges a tumbling landscape of sheer crushing power. Masterful vocal variance and melody-laden riffing pummels the listener as the music constantly switches pace with the drummer’s double bass and [...]

• Summoning “Stronghold”

  Judging by past releases, Summoning is truly a unique and inspiring group. Most of their albums are both boundless in their majesty and endless in their depth. Summoning’s music expresses desperation and sorrow at times, but overall the listener cannot deny the ever present atmosphere and relaxing grandeur of the composition. Apparently, the group’s lyrical [...]

• Severe Torture “Feasting On Blood”

  It seems that quite a few bands who play brutal death metal have been emerging from the European scene these days. Pyaemia, Decapitated, Disavowed, and now Severe Torture. Aside from having a silly band name, their CD cover is a tasty little treat. Upon listening to the entire album a few times, I won’t hesitate [...]

• Mortiis “The Stargate”

  Another addition to the Mortiis legacy, The Stargate is yet more proof of Mortiis‘ superiority when it comes to orchestrated darkness and symphonic melancholia. An intrinsic journey through another world is the only way to describe this release. The Stargate, so appropriately entitled, takes the listener on a dark and otherworldly expedition through the vastness [...]

• Marduk “Panzer Division Marduk”

  The most devastating Marduk release to date. An obviously deviant release from Marduk’s "norm", Panzer Division Marduk delves more into a ballistic firing of blasphemous musical terror than on their previous releases. Their subject matter does not abandon its satanic/anti-christian roots (in fact, Panzer Division Marduk is pretty much a slap in the face of [...]

• Impurity (US) “Unearthly Affinity”

  Many talented musicians have written for Teufel’s Tomb over the years; from Abbas Jaffary (ex-Ember/ex-Novembers Doom) and Reggie (of California’s Bane) to Josh Martin (ex-Anal Cunt/Adolf Satan) and SCSI (Lord Gore), but none have written as solid heavy-as-a-load-of-bricks death metal as Damian Scott in Impurity. I’m not entirely sure what inspired him to write [...]

• Impurity (US) “Of Lust And War”

  Florida’s Impurity are back with their third recording, and first full length offering, Of Lust And War. Impurity features Teufel’s Tomb alumni Damian Scott and those familiar with his reviews should have a good sense of the type of material he likes and the type of material a band he’d be in would play. [...]

• Evoken “Embrace The Emptiness”

  This is Evoken’s first release on Elegy Records, following their Shades Of Night Descending recording on Adipocere Records. Embrace the Emptiness is an excellent display of musicianship on Evoken’s part. To begin with, it isn’t an easy task to write impressive music keeping such a slow pace throughout a recording. Reminiscent of Australia’s Disembowelment (R.I.P.), [...]

• Disgorge (US) “She Lay Gutted”

  If someone asked me to name a death metal band that aurally personifies schizophrenia, I would immediately respond with "Disgorge". Disgorge is a very unique and ingenious band (This is a factual statement, not an opinion, so if you disagree, you are wrong. Sorry.). A band whose music almost solely revolves around unpredictability and a [...]

• Dødheimsgard “Satanic Art”

  A truly original musical masterpiece, this CD would be nothing if it weren’t for a couple of songs on the disc. Satanic Art begins and ends with piano pieces that had to have been written by some mentally diseased musician. The notes on the track are just utterly twisted. If there were some classical musician [...]
