  • Origin “Antithesis”

    It’s December and in recent weeks I’ve been seeing a lot of “best of” lists for 2008 being tossed up on message boards, in magazines and metal websites. Near the top of nearly all of those lists is the fourth full length offering from Kansas-based technical brutal death metallers Origin titled Antithesis. By [...]

  • Birds Of Prey “Sulfur And Semen”

    I grew up in a town that had a big nickel refinery that would spew sulfur into the air. If you’ve never smelled it, it’s pretty similar to the smell and taste of rotten eggs. I’ve also jerked off and completely missed my target, getting a belly coated in gooey man batter to [...]

  • Coldworker “Rotting Paradise”

    What do you get when you take members of Nasum, Relentless, Ruin and Phobos and get them to play a death metal and grindcore hybrid that borrows equally from Swedish grindcore and Floridian, Dutch and Swedish death metal? Coldworker’s Rotting Paradise. Rotting Paradise is the second full length offering from Sweden’s Coldworker and is a [...]

  • Cardiac Necropsy “Sixxxteen Years Of Anal Addict!!!”

    Prior to receiving this promo from Vrykoblast Productions, I had absolutely no idea who Singapore’s Cardiac Necropsy. After listening to the disc a few times, I really wish I still had no idea who they are. Sixxxteen Years Of Anal Addict!!! is a compilation of Cardiac Necropsy’s entire recorded history to date and contains 8 [...]

  • Debauchery (Ger) “Continue To Kill”

    Apparently German death metallers Debauchery don’t like being called a simplistic death metal act that rip off Six Feet Under that play with a level of technicality that even members of AC/DC would scoff at. I only know this because the eighth track ("King Of Killing") of their newest full length offering, Continue To [...]

  • Severed Savior “Serville Insurrection”

    What the fuck is in the water in California? It seems like right now the big trend is for all of the current (and former) Unique Leader Records brutal death metal bands from the area have decided to become technical brutal death metal bands, or rather, infinitely more technical brutal death metal bands. [...]

  • Deeds Of Flesh “Of What’s To Come”

    It’s been three years since Deeds Of Flesh released the rather disappointing Crown Of Souls and much has changed with the band, both in and out of the studio during that span. Longtime bassist/vocalist Jacoby Kingston left the group and was replaced by Spawn Of Possession bassist Erlend Caspersen and the band returned to [...]

  • Fuck The Facts “Disgorge Mexico”

    Like many of you, when I found out Ontario’s Fuck The Facts named their newest full length effort Disgorge Mexico I let out a disgusted groan, rolled my eyes and shook my head. While I appreciate them giving a nod to the best Disgorge out there, naming your album after them when your style [...]

  • Terminal Function “Measuring The Abstract”

    I can honestly say I wasn’t sure what to expect when I tossed Terminal Function’s Measuring The Abstract into my stereo for the first time, but I definitely wasn’t expecting what I heard. Imagine the odd time signatures and riffing of Meshuggah fused with the technically progressive sound of later-era Death played by a [...]

  • Putrefying Cadaverment “Necrosadistic Defilement”

    The more brutal death metal promos I receive, the more I wish less brutal death metal bands existed. It seems as though everyone who likes the genre feels the need to start a band. For some reason these bands record material even if their musical ability is far too limited to play the [...]
