Lucifer V
When the Devil invented rock 'n' roll, this is almost certainly what he had in mind. Not entirely surprisingly, "Lucifer V" is the fifth album by LUCIFER. Like its predecessors (doomy debut "Lucifer" possibly excepted),  it sounds like a candlelit riot in some ornately decorated but seedy dive b...January 24, 2024

Dead Mother Moon
Melodic death metal has been hugely influential over the last 30 years, arguably more so than any other metallic sub-strain.

Bukkake of Souls
True to the nature of French culture and art, the upper crust of their black metal has been bold and ambitious. MÜTIILATION is one of France's most notable bedrock black metal acts, impressive considering the likes of ANTAEUS, BLUT AUS NORD, DEATHSPELL OMEGA and VLAD TEPES. In the wake of MÜTIILATIO...December 26, 2023

Repugnant
The brutal death metal scene often seems like an athletics tournament, as bands compete to be the fastest, the heaviest and the nastiest. With two absurdly extreme albums under their bloodstained belts already, NECROTICGOREBEAST belong in the upper echelons of the subgenre's current wave, and while...October 31, 2023
