SATAN’S BLADECurse Of The Blade Stormspell (2022)Rating: 8.5/10 I did wonder if this San Jose, California-based quintet had named themselves after the obscure 80s slasher film… and then I heard the intro which is indeed the trailer for said movie. So, not only should you check this record out but try and find the film […]
CRYPT DWELLERCoven Of The Ancients Death Is Imminent (2022)Rating: 8/10 Trudging through extremely eerie realms of fog and dankness, Klamath Falls, Oregon-based oddity Crypt Dweller oozes out its third full-length volume of gloominess. Miserably esoteric, Coven Of The Ancients is one hell of an atmospheric lumber through death / doom dimensions and is the brainchild […]
DENIAL OF DEATHA Failed Exorcism Self-released (2022)Rating: 8/10 Bavaria’s Denial Of Death is an interesting clan with vocals that lean towards a more industrialised sneer, but I guess, for the most part, this is a very atmospheric black / death opus. The vocals of this composition are handled by bassist Glauber Haereticus who is joined […]
CASKET GRINDERSepulchral Trip Awakening (2022)Rating: 7.5/10 This is some tasty death metal from a bunch that has been around since 2010, and it seems rather apt that the sophomore outing from this Colombian band should get a Halloween release. Just like the last outing – Fall Into Dementia (2020) – this latest effort is very […]
DEMON CHROMEFirst Contact Self-released (2022)Rating: 9.5/10 Since their 2018 demo Chrome Demo(n), Providence, Rhode Island rockers Demon Chrome have been on my radar and now, four years later, they’ve singed by ears with a fantastic heavy rock opus that takes me back to that mid-80s metal magic. Simplistic, stark yet sizzling riffs coupled with that […]
PROJECT PAINFaster Disaster FA Studio (2022)Rating: 6/10 Taking influence from nigh on every 80s thrash act, Utrecht’s Project Pain unleashes its first full-length studio album in four years. The follow-up to 2018’s Brothers In Blood is a sturdy, uncompromising thrash assault slightly hampered by the brute vocal chops of Bauke Goudbeek. Musically, there’s a strong […]
BLACK ANVIL To Release Fifth Studio Album ‘Regenesis’ October 29th, 2022 New York City-based black / thrash metal band Black Anvil issue fifth full-length studio album Regenesis on November 4th, 2022 through Season Of Mist. “This is a more stripped down and aggressive songwriting approach,” explained Black Anvil frontman Paul Delaney. “Having time to digest […]
VORMIRCelestial Carnage Self-released (2022)Rating: 8/10 And there’s that term “technical death metal” again, and I’m finding myself cowering behind the sofa in fear of being frazzled by its exploits. But credit where credit is due, this debut full-length offering from these El Paso, Texas-based geeks is a cracker. Heavy, rhythmic chugs are the order of […]
