Arcana Doctrina
Call it old-school, call it true, call it pure, call it whatever the fuck floats your boat, just don't call DIAMANTHIAN and expect anything but the same blood-soaked and brutal death metal that had us all hailing the unholy one over a decade ago.

"In space no one can hear you unless you scream", reads the subtitle of MESHUGGAH's first official DVD, "space" being the operative word, as the Swedish enigmas are not of this earth.

Hands down the most primal fucking release I've encountered in ages, DEIPHAGO's "Filipino Antichrist" ignores silly shit like melody, production and structure and instead attempts to violently behead those brave enough to listen to its eleven bestial tracks. Aside from the sampled intro and outro tr...February 23, 2010

Demented Perception
At 21 minutes, INVECTION's "Demented Perception" is just the right amount of old school thrash metal to not only keep one's attention for the entire duration, but it is also well suited to those that need a quick fix of no-frills head banging action that'll leave you just short of needing a neck bra...February 23, 2010
