The deathcore genre continues to evolve, pushing the limits of musicianship and production with each new wave of releases. While UK‑based Viscera may be a fresh name to some listeners, the musicians behind the project are anything but newcomers, boasting résumés that include Sylosis,...

9.0

Album EK Even Knudsen June 02, 2017 2923 1 1

American tech death metallers Vale Of Pnath's 2011 debut album 'The Prodigal Empire' was real masterpiece and probably my favorite death metal album that particular year, and I still play that album every now and then. Now they are back with the follow up...

Album EK Even Knudsen Updated May 30, 2017 3382 1 1

It's not a big secret that I've always been a huge Vintersorg fan, and I consider every single album in their discography pure quality. With that said, I must add that the first two albums, not counting the Hedniskhjärtad EP, had this indefineable magical...

Fruit Of The Poisoned Tree is the debut album of American technical death metal band Virulent Depravity, and it's a remarkable strong debut as well. The music is quite complex with thundering drums as the foundation with blastbeats, breaks and tempo changes, but what...

German classic hard rock band Voodoo Circle, the brainchild of guitarist Alex Beyrodt, are back with their fourth studio album entitled ‘Whisky Fingers’. The guys seem to stick to the same formula used on their previous albums, and why shouldn’t they? This is classic,...

It has been a long wait for the follow up album to the excellent 2007 effort from Vesania, ‘Distractive Killusions’, but now it’s finally here. Featuring present and past members of Behemoth, Dimmu Borgir and Decapitated it’s impossible for Vesania to avoid the ‘Super...
