Majesty and Decay
IMMOLATION spawned from the same fertile New York death metal scene of the late '80s that graced us with everyone from CANNIBAL CORPSE and SUFFOCATION to INCANTATION. Like the latter band, IMMOLATION followed a different and distinct muse all their own from the beginning. They've cleaved to a path o...March 28, 2010

God's Spreading Cancer
When this album originally came out, in 2007, HEADHUNTER D.C. (no, I don't know what the D.C. stands for, but I've got five bucks on "Dead Christ" based on their song titles alone) had already been a band for two decades. Aside from a briefly-available release on the disastrous World War III label a...March 28, 2010

Obliteration Ritual
Here is another example of an album title that could not be more fitting to the music. On "Obliteration Ritual", Toronto's NUCLEARHAMMER conducts an exercise in front to back morbid black/death ritualizing that seeks first to decimate and only after to offer some form of understanding of the bleak r...March 22, 2010

Crypt Born & Tethered to Ruin
The spirit of INCANTATION's "Onward to Golgotha" lives on in the empty cavity that once contained the souls of VASAELETH's members on "Crypt Born & Tethered to Ruin". Continuing an underground trend — the term used in anything but the derogatory sense here — that has seen a host of bands across...March 22, 2010

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. This British trio is among a younger sect of purists...February 25, 2010

World Without God
Another round of kudos to Relapse is in order for unearthing more classic late '80s/early '90s death metal, packaging it up nicely, and releasing it to a new generation of extremists. After last year's excellent NIRVANA 2002 package ("Recordings 89-91") comes a reissue of CONVULSE's 1992 release "Wo...February 23, 2010

Beyond the Cursed Tombs
"Death metal the ancient way" is the mantra; "the essence of 1991" the musical vision. The band to which such phrases refer is Dallas' DECREPITAPH and the album under review is "Beyond the Cursed Tombs", a worthy follow up to Razorback debut "Condemned Cathedral", itself an old school death metal re...February 23, 2010
