Boundless Domain

When a band is named after one of the greatest songs of all time, their music had better be pretty fucking good. CREEPING DEATH certainly impressed with their 2019 debut "Wretched Illusions", which gave the Texas crew's gritty blend of death metal and thrashy 'core a rigorous first workout. The foll...

Stalwarts of the Italian metal scene, GRAVEWORM forged their combination of death, black and gothic metal in the early '90s and have been a sporadic presence ever since.

Produced by TRIVIUM's Matt Heafy, and brilliantly so, "Glacial Domination" is the kind of authoritative and substantial album that death metal's new breed absol...

Born Into The Twisting Rope

It's always good to see people spending their time wisely. INDUSTRIAL PUKE have plainly spent most of their lives listening to ENTOMBED's "Left Hand Path" and DISCHARGE's "Hear Nothing, See Nothing, Say Nothing" at excruciating volume, and quite conceivably at the same time. That's not to say that t...

Untopia

Measuring and comparing levels of heaviness in music is a largely pointless and entirely subjective activity. But sometimes the truth is plain for all to see. The visceral and indecently exciting sound of a giant, concrete block being dropped onto humanity's twitching skull, over and over again for...

Carcinogenesis

Like a lot of bands, VISCERA had their plans roundly screwed when the pandemic took hold. The UK crew's debut album "Obsidian" was a thrilling bolt from the tech-deathcore blue and deserved to propel them to the forefront of an increasingly potent scene.

The difference between this four-man wrecking crew and hundreds like them is that everyone involved has absolutely impeccable credentials. Best known for several stint...

Harrowing

Dissonant death metal has produced some astonishing music over the last few years. Groundbreaking efforts by the likes of ULCERATE, GORGUTS, PORTAL and MITOCHONDRION collectively help to forge a new path into the black depths of heaviness, and that same experimental mindset has been conspicuous in o...
