I must admit that I have never heard, or even heard of Italian death Metal band Bloodtruth until I got this album which by the way is their second in line, but still I had high expectations when I first press the play button and that's of course due to the fact that the album is released through Unique Leader Records. That label seems to have quite high standards...
Heading from Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, progressive death metal act Piah Mater are back with their second full length album entitled ´The Wandering Daughter´. The band was founded in 2010 and released their debut album ´Memories Of Inexistence´in 2014. I can´t remember having heard their debut, but I certainly have to give it a listen after having heard this new one. The first thing that campe to my mind...
With albums like ´The Aura´and ´Earthborn Evolution´ in their backlog Canadian technical death metallers Beyond Creation really had a mountain to climb to follow up their previous efforts. I´ve read a few early reviews of this album around the internet and most of them awarded ´Algorythm´pretty average scores. Afther having heard the album a couple of times I tended to aggree to those conclutions, but I also knew that...
Boston based Revocation hits back with their seventh studio album, and their third for Metal Blade Records. According to the band themselves they have been aming for darker and more pure death metal sound this time, and that´s of course music to my ears. The thrash elements are far less evident this time than on previous albums, and I think it suits the band just perfect. The song material...
Delaware, US based death metal outfit is by no means genre defining with their second full length effort, but if you´re into well produced, straight forward death metal this is certainly an album worth checking out anyway. Their style is obviously inspired by the mid 90´s US death metal scene, but it comes with an updated and organic production that suits the music perfectly. Tempo vice material varies from...
German based Stillbirth are back with their fifth studio album entitled ‘Annihilation of Mankind’. While their 2015 album ‘Global Error’ sorted in the borderline between traditional death metal and brutal death metal, this new one is definitely a step toward more brutality. Within the death metal genre a whole waste of sub-genres has evolved over the years, and to be honest I’ve lost count over them a long time...
It has taken Deicide five years to follow up their excellent 2013 album 'In The Minds Of Evil', but now Glen Benton and Co are finally back with twelve brand new overtures of blasphemy. Since last time long time guitar player Jack Owen (now Six Feet Under) has been replaced by Mark English of Monstrosity. According to Benton himself they have really focused on the quality of the songs...
I first got aware of this French band when I heard the 'Ascension' album which was released through Great Dane Records last year. I've played that album alot and have really been looking forward to the next chapter in their carreer. Now it's finally here with official release date set to August 18th. Since last time Exocrine have moved from Great Dane Records to Unique Leader Records, a label...
Heading from Grenoble, France The Walking Dead Orchestra return with their sophomore full length album following up their 2013 debut entitled 'Architects Of Distruction'. 'Resurrect' is a concept album centred around the character of 'The Architect', who continues his story from the debut album. Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to hear the debut yet, but according to the press release this new album has a sligthly more back...
Through a carreer spanning over nearly 30 years Amorphis has always been more or less synonymous with quality, but with their 13th studio album entitled 'Queen Of Time' our neighbours from east introduces us to a masterpiece that has exceeded all my expectations and to my ears it's by far their best album to date. The opening track 'The Bee' is simply an amazing composition that immediately sets the...
