Viva La Rock, Fantastico
So this is the fifth album from BROKEN TEETH, eh? Apparently, I've been out of the loop with regard to Jason McMaster's (DANGEROUS TOYS, IGNITOR) high-voltage rock 'n roll outfit that was formed in 1999 with former members of DANGEROUS TOYS, DIRTY LOOKS, and PARIAH. If nothing else, the one thing ab...February 24, 2010

Collection of Souls
It's tempting to call MASTER the RAMONES of death metal, except that THE RAMONES actually sold some records. (Zing!) Anyway, love 'em or forget who they are, it's hard to deny the basic chugging purity of Paul Speckmann's three-decade crusade for the simplest, purest, most primeval form of death met...February 24, 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

Einsamkeit
In this age of acts viewing the traditional as boring and, well, just too damn traditional, it has become a common occurrence that when a CD arrives from a German black metal band, one can be fairly certain that convention will be thrown right through the sliding glass door that serves as the entran...February 23, 2010

Demon Metal
Good goat almighty, the South Americans have struck again! This time it is an elite Chilean unit known as PERVERSOR that has left a path of death and destruction after an 18-minute carpet-bombing and napalm run, code-named "Demon Metal". Your mission? Get your ass down and pray to your god like you'...February 23, 2010

II: The Reign of Darkness
Much better! I had no anticipatory thoughts about ANNOTATIONS OF AN AUTOPSY's "II: The Reign of Darkness", as a result of my impression of the British death metal band after reviewing "Before the Throne of Infection". I found the Siege of Amida/Candlelight release to be more than tolerable from the...February 23, 2010

Until we are Outnumbered
In listening to THE KANDIDATE's (previously known as THE DOWNARD CANDIDATE) "Until we are Outnumbered", the opinion I have formed is similar to the one I had in a review of HATESPHERE's "Serpent Smiles and Killer Eyes". The breakneck and modern — and somewhat distinctively Danish — thrash metal of T...January 23, 2010

Recordings 89-91
If you have read Daniel Ekeroth's outstanding book "Swedish Death Metal", then you know that NIRVANA 2002 was given high praise by the author as one of the very first bands — along with the likes of NIHILIST — that dove head first into the creation of the now renowned sound. That high praise is ...January 23, 2010

Paradise Disintegrates
A hot meal of meat and potatoes is fine until it has been served every single day of the week. "Paradise Disintegrates" by Australia's NEW BLOOD is 18 minutes of workmanlike brutal death with a fair amount of arrangement variety that the completist may enjoy, but even then one would be hard pressed...January 23, 2010
