Dark Death Metal

  • Portal “Lurker at the Threshold”

    Portal is without a doubt one of the best death metal bands coming out of Australia currently. They play a form of harsh death metal that possesses the technical weirdness and intensity of Gorguts, yet has the aesthetic feel of the most nihilistic, inhumanly fast black metal acts, and still finds time to mess with [...]

  • Incantation “The Infernal Storm”

    There are few bands in the metal scene today who’s music is so good they always leave me wanting more, year after year, album after album. Incantation happen to be one of those bands that just keep me wanting to come back to hear more. Since the release of their last epic, Diabolical [...]

  • Incantation “Primordial Domination”

    Incantation are one of the longest-running death metal in North America with 8 full length albums, 3 EPs, a single, a live album and played hundreds (if not thousands) of shows throughout the world during their 17 year reign in the metal underground. While musicians like Will Rahmer (Mortician), Dave Culross (Malevolent Creation), Daniel [...]

  • Incantation “Decimate Christendom”

    Considering the amount of money I’ve spent over the years on Incantation shirts, hoodies and bootlegs, it should come as no surprise to anyone that I’ve been anticipating the release of Decimate Christendom since about 5 minutes after the release of Blasphemy. Once again, Incantation does not disappoint. In more than 15 years [...]

  • 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. [...]

  • Immolation “Unholy Cult”

    After 5+ years on Metal Blade Records, where they rose from opening act to headliner, New York’s Immolation made an odd decision by leaving the label to join France’s Listenable Records, quickly becoming the label’s number one priority and most high profile band. 2002 brought even more changes, with founding member, guitarist Tom Wilkinson, [...]

  • Immolation “Shadows In The Light”

    Just when I think it’s safe to claim that one of my favorite band’s best material is behind them they turn things around on their next release and prove me wrong. Cannibal Corpse proved they’re still a top death metal act with the release of Kill. Suffocation followed up the disappointing Souls To [...]

  • Immolation “Harnessing Ruin”

    It’s been three long years since Immolation last assaulted ear drums worldwide with their unique brand of technical dark death metal. Unfortunately, the line-up from the highly acclaimed Unholy Cult did not remain intact, with drummer Alex Hernandez being usurped by his "temporary tour" replacement Steve Shalaty of Odius Sanction, who filled in while [...]

  • Immolation “Failures For Gods”

    After three long years, setbacks and foul-ups, the newest Immolation epic Failures For Gods has finally been released and for the first time in ages I can honestly say it has been well worth the wait. Failures For Gods is, in a word, amazing. This is the type of CD I hope for [...]
