What Evil Have They Summoned…

Billy Nocera has been releasing so many quality old school gore and death metal releases for so many years on his Razorback label that the time must have seemed right to start his own band with wife Vanessa. Not that they've not contributed to past releases (as lyricists for example),but SCAREMAKER...

Majesty and Decay

IMMOLATION spawned from the same fertile New York death metal scene of the late '80s that graced us with everyone from CANNIBAL CORPSE and SUFFOCATION to INCANTATION. Like the latter band, IMMOLATION followed a different and distinct muse all their own from the beginning. They've cleaved to a path o...

God's Spreading Cancer

When this album originally came out, in 2007, HEADHUNTER D.C. (no, I don't know what the D.C. stands for, but I've got five bucks on "Dead Christ" based on their song titles alone) had already been a band for two decades. Aside from a briefly-available release on the disastrous World War III label a...

Obliteration Ritual

Here is another example of an album title that could not be more fitting to the music. On "Obliteration Ritual", Toronto's NUCLEARHAMMER conducts an exercise in front to back morbid black/death ritualizing that seeks first to decimate and only after to offer some form of understanding of the bleak r...

Crypt Born & Tethered to Ruin

The spirit of INCANTATION's "Onward to Golgotha" lives on in the empty cavity that once contained the souls of VASAELETH's members on "Crypt Born & Tethered to Ruin". Continuing an underground trend — the term used in anything but the derogatory sense here — that has seen a host of bands across...

Arcana Doctrina

Call it old-school, call it true, call it pure, call it whatever the fuck floats your boat, just don't call DIAMANTHIAN and expect anything but the same blood-soaked and brutal death metal that had us all hailing the unholy one over a decade ago. This British trio is among a younger sect of purists...
