  • Acid Witch “Witchtanic Hellucinations”

    To quote one of the greatest minds of all time: “FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK.”Which great mind stated this I do not know, but it’s completely applicable to the awesome death/doom metal of Acid Witch. Let’s put it this way: when the band members’ names spell out LSD and they’re signed to Razorback Records, you just know this is [...]

  • Dagoba “Face the Colossus”

    Wow, I thought Gojira was disappointing! Dagoba makes Gojira look like Suffocation! Face the Colossus is over 50 minutes of boring industrial groove metal that will have you screaming for a Mortician record because even Mortician does something. What that “thing” is, I have no idea; maybe listening to Mortician enough times will cause Will [...]

  • 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, [...]

  • They:Swarm “The Mundane Corruption”

    They:Swarm is a Tel Aviv, Israel-based death grind act, formerly known as Whorecore, that features Aborted front man Sven de Caluwe and Lehavoth’s Nir Doliner and Evil Haim. The Mundane Corruption is the band’s only release before Sven and guitarist Eran Segal parted ways with the band and they returned to the Whorecore name. [...]

  • Voetsek “Infernal Command”

    What do you get when you take high paced crossover thrash and add a fat chick vocalist whose voice sounds like an angry Chipmunk? Voetsek’s Infernal Command. Musically Voetsek sound exactly how you’d expect a Bay-area crossover thrash band would sound like: cheesy 80s high paced thrash with simple drumming and riffs and a thin production [...]

  • Lecherous Nocturne “The Age Of Miracles Has Passed”

    Since Wormed dropped Planisphaerium and Monstrosity released Spiritual Apocalypse, the bar for supremely devastating metal has been raised to a point of near critical mass. However, I keep searching for my next unholy grail. The wait for Lecherous Nocturne to release its second album, The Age of Miracles Has Passed, was filled with [...]

  • Behemoth “Ezkaton”

    For years I’ve been trying to figure out Behemoth’s popularity. Many of my like-minded friends have been singing the praises of this Polish-based trio for more than a decade. I’d heard a couple of tracks of theirs over the years and their music just failed the capture my attention. Surprisingly, Metal Blade [...]

  • Six Feet Under “Death Rituals”

    When they first burst onto the scene with 1995’s Haunted Six Feet Under were an old school, down tuned, simplistic death metal act. The band was basically a side project of Obituary’s Allen West, Massacre’s Terry Butler and Cannibal Corpse’s Chris Barnes and the music they played is exactly what you’d expect from those [...]

  • Gronibard “We Are French Fukk You”

    I’ve heard people hyping Gronibard for years but never bothered to check them out until I saw the hilariously ridiculous artwork for their third studio effort, We Are French Fukk You, and decided to pick up this disc and give it a listen. After listening to this album a handful of times, I can [...]

  • Insect Warfare “World Extermination”

    Crashing into your skull like a drunken retard flailing his limbs about while whirl winding his arms in a pit, Texas-based grinders Insect Warfare’s debut, and only, full length offering World Extermination is a relentlessly vicious beating from the first riff to the final drum beat. With twenty tracks clocking in at twenty-two and [...]
