  • The Faceless “Planetary Duality”

    When we last heard from The Faceless, I was pleasantly surprised by their debut effort Akeldama. Seeing the bands they were compared to and seeing Sumerian Records’ roster made me think that the band was going to suck ass. Akeldama surprised me by ripping out a slab of brutal death metal mixed with technicality, melody, [...]

  • Pitbulls In The Nursery “Lunatic”

    Every Beechnut spitting, Blue Ribbon drinking, red-blooded American is supposed to hate the French. For some reason I’ve always wanted to follow this smoothly paved path. I guess it’s because they look down their noses at tourists with that ‘please douche’ sneer. Ever tasted Avian before? It tastes like shit, but [...]

Relapse Records has announced the signing of Munich, Germany-based death metallers OBSCURA. The band is currently recording its second full-length album with producer V. Santura (DARK FORTRESS) at The Crypt Studios for an [...]

  • The Faceless “Akeldama”

    The Faceless was another band that caught me by surprise within the last few months. When I saw an ad for their cd and MySpace I immediately wrote them off: their label mates on Sumerian Records were almost a tell-tale sign of crap (i.e. bands entirely based within the Hatebreed lineage of "hardcore") and the [...]

  • Lifeless “Forward To Suffering”

    It’s got to suck to be a metal fan in Luxembourg, one of the smallest countries in the world. The tiny country is home to MSound Records’ recording artist Lifeless. One man is behind everything on this album - lyrics, guitars, bass, vocals, keyboards and drum machine programming, Marc Kieffer. I’ve got [...]

  • Illogicist “The Insight Eye”

    There’s one thing I’ve learned in 7 years of knowing Jason Tipton and following Willowtip Records and that’s for every three or four great albums he releases that I love, there’s one or two that bore me to tears. This time around the band boring me to pieces is Italy’s Illogicist, a progressive death [...]

  • Gorod “Leading Vision”

    Here we have France’s Gorod’s second full length offering on Willowtip Records entitled Leading Vision. Their first album Neurotripsicks was originally released in 2004 on Deadsun Records, so there’s been at least the span of 2 years between the recording of the band’s two offerings. Neurotripsicks was an impressive display of technical death metal [...]

  • Gorod “Neurotripsicks”

    Originally released in 2004 on France’s Deadsun Records under the band name Gorgasm, Willowtip Records decided to license this French group’s debut album Nerotripsicks and release it in North America with all new artwork and two bonus tracks. Not wanting to confuse fickle North American death metal fans, the group agreed to use the [...]
