ROTBORNOn The Perspective Of An Imminent Downfall Redefining Darkness (2022)Rating: 7/10 Prepare yourself for 27 minutes of brutal Brazilian death metal that’s somewhat of an acquired taste for myself, mostly due to the vocals which at times flirt with that grindcore style of squealing mashed with a Glen Benton (Deicide) attack. However, this is still […]
BONESSombre Opulence Invictus Productions (2022)Rating: 8.5/10 Not to be confused with the US band of the same name, this Bones is the Belgian brood that since forming in 2010 has released two demos and two EPs. Sombre Opulence is the debut full-length and it’s another quality death metal release for this year to try to […]
TOUGHNESSThe Prophetic Dawn Godz Ov War Productions (2022)Rating: 9/10 Hopefully the bland band name won’t mean these guys slip under the radar because this is some seriously heavy Polish death metal that channels the likes of Incantation and Demilich. From its thick, doom laden beginnings through to its clogged heart and then out of its […]
PERVERSIONDies Irae Hells Headbangers (2022)Rating: 8/10 Nine years ago these hazardous Detroit, Michigan-based mutants released their debut opus Storm Of Evil, and the chaos resumes here for the dastardly trio with their long-awaited second full-length. There’s always been a strong South American vibe to Perversion, with the hammering percussion of former Nuke man Pete Gibbs, […]
INVADERSBeware Of The Night Fighter (2022)Rating: 7/10 Invaders is a straight-up glinting Spanish metal act that worships the 80s and adds extra fuel to the fire with a competent cover rendition of Dokken’s ‘Into The Fire’ to round this debut full-length album off. While not bombastic or overtly heavyweight, Beware Of The Night is nimble, […]

VRENTHSuccumb To Chaos Rotted Life (2022)Rating: 8.5/10 Vrenth’s debut full-length outing Baptism Death (2020) was always going to be a winner considering it featured musicians from Ruin, Ascended Dead, VoidCeremony, Bloodsoaked and Dead Conspiracy, and so this follow up, Succumb To Chaos, was never going to let us down either. As expected, the California band […]
GARGANTUAN BLADEGargantuan Blade Self-released (2022)Rating: 7/10 It’s time for some textbook Finnish doom from a four-piece fronted by guitarist Samuel Wormius (aka Samuli Personen), known previously for his work with an array of bands including Outlaw and The Wandering Midget. This debut full-length offering can be accused of feeling overlong but I think that is […]
