Memento Mori

Five years is the longest pause between albums that MARDUK have ever taken. Admittedly, the world has had other things to be concerned with during that time, but even taking global pandemics into account, the Swedes' prolonged silence had a certain eeriness to it, as if they were quietly building to...

Position | Momentum

If 2020's "The Eye Is The First Circle" was a concise act of scabby-lipped catharsis, "Position | Momentum" is what happens when the waves of vitriol never stop. CALLIGRAM continue to make some of the most vicious, black metal-adjacent music around, and when "Sul Dolore" erupts, it's instantly appar...

Remember… You Must Die!

There was a brief moment when SUICIDE SILENCE appeared to have pissed on their own fireworks. This story has a happy ending, of course: as hinted at loudly on 2020's "Become The Hunter", and confirmed beyond doubt and with white-hot venom here. But back in 2017, that now notorious self-titled album,...

Fumes Of Funeral Pyres

Another week means another fantastic addition to death metal's new wave of young and hungry bands. Coming straight out of Finland with energy levels set to psychotic, TRAMALIZER sound like they have spent decades worshipping the ancient gods. "Fumes Of Funeral Pyres" doesn't have any of the composit...

The difference between this four-man wrecking crew and hundreds like them is that everyone involved has absolutely impeccable credentials. Best known for several stint...

Homicidal Ecstasy

It was arguably little more than a ridiculous name that lured death metal fans into their grimy slipstream, but SANGUISUGABOGG were deservedly hailed for the sheer knuckleheaded belligerence of their 2021 debut, "Tortured Whole". Having weathered the departure of guitarist and titular figurehead Cam...

Dying Of Everything

With their 40th anniversary barely a year away, OBITUARY ought to take great pride in the fact that they are still one of the heaviest bands on the planet. Rarely mimicked with any degree of accuracy, and still wholly original in the grand death metal scheme of things, the Floridians have built a le...
