Opus Mortis VIII
Vicious and bludgeoning VOMITORY has always been, but the compositional level jump that is 2007's "Terrorize Brutalize Sodomize" (2007) and the razor storm that is 2009's "Carnage Euphoria" came with extra sharp edges. That is most assuredly the case with this year's "Opus Mortis VIII" as well, perh...May 9, 2011

Unseen
I'm not sure I remember the last time I've heard so much negative feedback about a new album. Typically I don't pay much attention to any of it, at least until I've submitted my own review of the product. But with THE HAUNTED's "Unseen" you could throw a pencil out the window and have a ...May 9, 2011

Deathstar Rising
Is this really BEFORE THE DAWN's sixth full-length album?

It might have been PHOBIA, it could have been INFANTICIDE or M...May 9, 2011

In Tides And Drifts
I first came across the Brooklyn-based trio GOES CUBE a couple of years ago while the band was on tour in support of their last album, "Another Day Has Passed". The band immediately grabbed me with their organic and incredibly thunderous live sound. I walked away from that show praising the band for...May 9, 2011

Preemptive Strike
I had a good feeling about this one before I even listened to the music; something about that cover art I guess. Whatever the reason for plucking ENTRENCHED's "Preemptive Strike" out of the towering piles of self- released discs that clog my mailbox, the pluck was a fortuitous one. Guitarist/bassist...May 9, 2011

Carnal Law
The Bay Area! Thrash metal! Right? Not in the case of VASTUM's "Carnal Law", which is a stone cold, old school death metal release; you'll find not a hint of thrash here. Specifying even further, "Carnal Law" is cut from the same cloth as early GRAVE, as well as bands like VORE; those doomy deathste...May 9, 2011
