TORTURE RACKPrimeval Onslaught 20 Buck Spin (2023)Rating: 8.5/10 Returning for their third full-length outing, Portland, Oregon-based death metallers Torture Rack provide more of the same bulldozing belligerence which with every skewering solo tightens like razor wire round the throat. This is some seriously catchy death metal that while structured as brutal shifts through the groove […]

SPECTROPHILIAPutrid Paths Of Depravation EP Self-released (2023)Rating: 7/10 With bullet belts criss-crossing his leather-clad body, the delightfully named Blasphemous Cannibal lurches forth from the pits of Loja in Ecuador with his second EP.

NECROTUMDreamscape Of The Ancients EP Brutal Insanity (2023)Rating: 8/10 Hearing a new Necrotum release is akin to inhaling freshly disturbed dust from an old coffin. The mouldy guitar tone, the throaty macabre vocals, the dull rattling bass and those skeletal fusty drum slaps are the ideal ingredients for what is another morbid rendition from these […]
KILL CØMMANDHostile Takeover Self-released (2023)Rating: 7/10 Expect no mercy or originality from this forceful thrash debut full-length from Hernando, Mississippi-based upstarts Kill Cømmand. There is a huge Testament influence here as the trio of Colin Jewell (vocals and rhythm guitar), Nick Subia (lead guitar) and Joss Lubenstein (bass) raise the roof with their juddering assault. […]
WYTCH HAZELIV: Sacrament Bad Omen (2023)Rating: 7/10 Although somewhat baffled by the hype surrounding these British rockers, I have been at least charmed by their releases. Wytch Hazel have that cosy style of music which taps into an enchanting brew of New Wave Of British Heavy Metal fused with Jethro Tull and, say, Deep Purple […]
LEATHÜRBITCHShattered Vanity Shadow Kingdom (2023)Rating: 8/10 I enjoyed Leathürbitch’s debut full-length album, Into The Night, which was released back in 2019. The Portland, Oregon-based combo provided a steamy mix of 80s throwback metal, glam and speediness. The brew was, and remains an interesting one for this latest outing, Shattered Vanity, which is a strong return […]
