Dismemberment – Denied Salvation

“Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls…dyin’ time’s here.” – Dr. Dealgood, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome

Life comes with a virtual fucking ton of warnings. Just about everywhere you look, you can find some kind of cautionary statement indicating the idea that if you aren’t careful, you might just find yourself on the losing end of [...]

Vuohi – The Rising Era of Goat

Finland’s Vuohi has been hard at work in the past couple of years. So far, they have released two demos: Total Noise Chaos (2007), and The Rising Era Of Goat (2010), as well as a split album with Gasmask Violence  titled Hatred United (2011). It’s been a while since the aforementioned The Rising Era of [...]

Profanatica – Sickened by Holy Host

Nothing brings me as much lascivious joy as a Profanatica release. I have no idea why, but I’m guessing that it’s that petrified cum crusted black death vermin that crawls out from a dismantled, desecrated, and long dead convent stalwarts shriveled vulva that makes most “normal” folks vomit and tremble in disgust that amuses me [...]

Apostles of the Apocalypse

Three dark forces are summoned to the ceremony on Apostles of the Apocalypse. Mexico’s Black Torment, Houston, Texas’ Nodens and Italian horde Tyrranizer Order are hell-bent and ready to kill everything on this ritual, a staggering 14 tracks of black / thrash attacks!
Black Torment bring no new material to the sacrifice, other than the ever-so-disposable ‘intro’ [...]

Dephosphorus – Axiom

We travel back to the land of Greece where I had just reviewed AMNIS NIHIL EP Christological Escalation. This time around we have DEPHOSPHORUS with their 7 track EP Axiom and their self described Astrogrind music. It makes sense that they describe their music this way since their members have previously played in Deathgrind [...]

Svartsyn – The True Legend

Svartsyn are one of those triumphant and long running black metal cults that never seem to wane to lame trends or flatten with time, and with this re-release of The True Legend, this album is not only serious inferno of melodic and solid black metal, but it is a slightly modified and improved upon version [...]

Enthroned

With: Nornagest (lead vocals/guitars) Enthroned
Hail Enthroned! Let’s talk about Obsidium for a moment. How did the songwriting process for this album come about?
“Obsidium” is probably the most spontaneous album Enthroned ever recorded; the whole process from the composition and recording happened in more or less six month, a way to express certain intensity.
The three last [...]

Leper Lord – Altar of Embers

Virginia’s Leper Lord have all the right elements in place for a black metal massacre. Crude xerox covers, indecipherable logos, live recordings and bottomless studio mixes spell out the name of black metal for shallow scene charlatans everywhere. Luckily for listeners, 6 unholy ceremonies are contained on Altar of Embers, a furious release that holds non-believers [...]

Amnis Nihil – Christological Escalation

Greece has been home to some of the extreme bands to enter the music business. VARATHRON, ASTARTE, and one-man band NOCTERNITY are just a few to mention. Greek Black Metal newcomers AMNIS NIHIL have entered the mix with their new 4 track EP Christological Escalation. The band formed in 2008 and Avantgarde Music released this [...]

Enthroned – Obsidium

Enthroned has been at the black metal game for quite a while, almost 20 years at the time of this writing! While they’ve never been the most innovative or groundbreaking band, their sound has certainly evolved over the years, but not so much so that they’ve become a completely different band (even if that’s literally [...]
