Aborted From Reality
A relatively new band, STATIC ABYSS is born from mature, royal death metal blood. It's essentially a duo, the unholy union of vocalist / percussionist Chris Reifert — whose resume includes ABSCESS and DEATH, integral on the latter unit's classic debut "Scream Bloody Gore", no less — and accomplished...June 26, 2023

Glacial Domination
Two observations for you. Firstly, Texas is definitely the epicenter of death metal right now. Secondly, FROZEN SOUL are seriously special. 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...May 16, 2023

The Highest Level
The early days of death metal, we are talking about the mid to late eighties through the early nineties, were predominantly based in the West, obvious suspects like AUTOPSY, DEATH and OBITUARY in the US, and the likes of ENTOMBED, CARCASS and CADAVER in Europe.

Blasphemous Prophecies
There are now so many different strains of death metal that nailing the genre's true essence has becoming almost entirely pointless. From adherents to AUTOPSY's sludgy code, right through to the hyper-blasting atonality of the brutal DM set, there are many ways to honor the ancient gods. But by conj...March 8, 2023

This Is Tomorrow
The incestuous nature of the metal underground means that, superficially at least, bands like SIEGE OF POWER are par for the course. 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...February 15, 2023
