French extreme death‐metal/grindcore band Benighted are back with yet another incredibly visceral and brutal record in a rather advanced stage of their career. Necrobreed is a savage and powerful album that contains pretty much everything one might want out of a record of such nature: extremely heavy down‐tuned guitar riffs, blasting drum‐beats played at constantly high‐speed rhythms, over‐the‐top vocal performances and some really nasty and morbid themes running throughout the album’s track listing. The songs on the first half of the album are truly amazing, and even ...

After their first release “The Codex Necro,” Anaal Nathrakh chose a new path with “Domine Non Es Dignus.” Grindcore influences were added to the raw approach of Black Metal, creating a furious and annihilating piece of work.Grindcore is not the only influence though, they have taken inspiration from more genres than that.There are clean vocals every once in a while, guttural vocals when they’re needed and the melodic riffing provides a fresh bit of air. And what is there, when none of the ...

Slamming brutal death metal! IMPALED DIVINITY came out from Unionville, Tennessee USA Gritty, raw and cacophonous: this is such heavy riffing, vocals, drumming just perfect incarnation of old slam metal. Fukin’ dope guitar riffs attack, excellent blast beats on drums and monstrous gutturals. Epic album.This release is packed with 14 tracks of pure gore‐soaked mayhem (8 songs from ‘Feculent Mutation’ and 6 songs from ‘Delimbing The Extirpated’) YES, a Killer! This is really a superb badass gritty LP!Musically, Zack Plunkett is bringing us brutal ...

Dwelling Below give us a darker, filthier and uglier interpretation of death/doom metal that will make sure you never leave the sewers. Their seamless, intuitive and admittedly improvised music keeps you hooked and bogged down to their slow but steady rhythm, their hypnotic and ever festering tunes gain control of your motor functions, and cajoled by the eerie psychedelia-laced atmosphere and plaintive leads, the insidious music eventually even seeps into your thoughts and renders them useless. You become a slave to their brand of ...

Sci-fi themed black metal band Imperialist re-analyse their sound on this EP, tracing their roots and fortifying their sound to make it their most potent and lethal material yet. All the elements that made the band known around the galaxy are there; they’ve only made their sonic output sharper and tighter and it’s also among their fastest and most aggressive material yet.Despite that, they haven’t alienated the sentient melodic aspect of their music which is used tastefully on this release. In what comes ...

It’s not too often that you come across a grindcore album that gives you the kind of thrilling intensity that you’ve come to expect from this style of music and at the same time there’s unpredictability in the writing which keeps you hooked. Walking Corpse from Sweden are able to do just this – step on the accelerator till your hair starts to tear off, deviate from the path abruptly, and before you know it, jump back on the track with increased neck-snapping ...

Great Avantgarde Black Metal where the clarinet assumes a main role. Talented Jazz musician, the artist manages to combine the iconoclastic fury of Avantgarde Black Metal with the refinement and experimentation of the clarinet sound.The effect is a mix between the ancient popular roots of Folk music with the elements of Extreme Metal. The dark and menacing timbre of the instrument combined with ferocious blast-beats anddistorted guitars, opens the door to new scenarios. A must for fans of Agalloch, Wolves In The Throne Room, Myrkur, ...
