PUTRIDARIUM Morbification ’22 (2022) Following the horror movie-styled introduction, one of the heaviest demo releases of all time comes oozing from the cracks like murderous gloop. This German bunch of slurry eaters drained my blood and excrement with last year’s Putrefaction ’21 demo and now we have three more tracks to finish us off. ‘The […]
DARKENEDThe Black Winter Edged Circle Productions (2022)Rating: 7/10 This international death metal combo is not a band I’ve followed too closely, although I did pick up their Mourn The Dying Light EP which was released earlier this year. I prefer my death metal to be gloomy, squalid and downright rotten, whereas Darkened provide a lot […]
SACRIFIZERLe Diamant de Lucifer Osmose Productions (2022)Rating: 8/10 Not to be confused with the German speed metal act of the same name, this French Sacrifizer offers far more vim and spice in its aggressive stance. I purchased the cassette of the band’s 2019 debut EP, La mort triomphante, and was impressed to say the least, […]
DEF LEPPARDDiamond Star Halos UMC / Mercury (2022)Rating: 6.5/10 British rockers Def Leppard are not the sort of band I’ve had a love affair with, but I’ve never had any real disagreements with them either. With each album released I’ve been welcoming, seeing them in like a friend I’ve had respect for but never really […]

RIDERS OF ROHANRiders Of Rohan Crypt Of The Wizard (2022)Rating: 9/10 Only Sweden can produce such a Gothic-sounding heap of fantasy clouded in gloomy fumes and authentically creaking in every bone. Riders Of Rohan is a mysterious trio consisting of Tim (vocals and bass), Stickan (guitar and vocals) and Lisa (drums and vocals). This is […]

MORTIFYBuzzsaw Sickness EP Obliteration (2022)Rating: 7/10 I have a major issue with these Tokyo goremongers in that all of their releases are so damn short, and this new EP, Buzzsaw Sickness, is no exception with a total duration of under three-minutes! There’s five tracks on offer here, with the closer being a cover of Rot’s […]
FAIR FIGHTUntil The End Of Time… EP Self-released (2022)Rating: 5.5/10 If you are new to the death metal scene then I introduce to you two fantastic British bands, Gouger and Gore Shriek, who have joined forces to puke out this split project. Glasgow duo Gouger provide four tracks on this outing, while London-based trio Gore […]
