Mystical Death Metal

  • Kataklysm “Sorcery”

    Once upon a time there was a death metal act from Montreal that was led by a grizzly bear on vocals with shredding riffs, explosive blasts, technicality, intensity, perfect song writing and an unparalleled dark atmosphere. This band was Kataklysm, though you wouldn’t guess it based on the band’s studio efforts over the past [...]

  • Kataklysm “Northern Hyperblast Live”

    This live album was recorded December 21st, 1996 in Montreal on the very last date of Kataklysm’s tour to promote Temple Of Knowledge. It’s also the very last recorded appearance of Sylvain Houde and touring drummer Nick Miller on a Kataklysm album. The album contains thirteen live tracks, nine from Temple Of Knowledge, [...]

  • Cephalectomy & Bound In Human Flesh “Split”

    Cephalectomy is one strange beast. I bought their 2004 effort Eclipsing the Dawn on a whim and I fucking loved every minute of it. They brought about this strange, Lovecraftian-obsessed technical grind band that was being straddled and simultaneously given the reach around by old school Kataklysm, spewing its load on the listener. And it [...]

  • Cephalectomy “Sign Of Chaos”

    Two years have passed since Cephalectomy released their Dark Waters Rise demo, a recording I openly admit to disliking, and I was extremely hesitant to even give the CD a listen. In fact the CD remained unopened on my desk for nearly two weeks before I finally decided "what the hell" and gave it [...]

  • Cephalectomy “Eclipsing The Dawn”

    When I was 4 years old I lived in Truro, Nova Scotia, Canada, home to Discorporate Music’s Cephalectomy. I don’t really remember much about living there, but what I do remember is that it seemed like the kind of place that, had I grown up there, I probably would have gone insane, which seems [...]

  • Cephalectomy “Dark Waters Rise”

    I originally heard this band a few years ago when they were using the moniker Morbid Atrophy. The music was poorly recorded, overly simplistic and rather tame. The band has improved greatly in this time, however, still have a long way to go to impress me. My main quarrel with the band [...]
