Album Review: Sinister – Deformation Of The Holy Realm

If Europe has an equivalent to CANNIBAL CORPSE, it’s got to be SINISTER. These Dutch madmen have been going at it at least as long as the Boys from Buffalo…this is their 14th album! And they are still as brutal as a nightstick shoved down your throat! With hyper-aggressive death metal, there’s a certain amount of monotony that arises and while SINISTER doesn’t totally avoid it, they do a pretty good job of keeping it at bay here. Hard to believe a band with a 30-year history can still smash skulls and tear out guts like this. The tunes are […]

ASTRIFEROUS set release date for ME SACO UN OJO debut mini-album

Indeed, from the very beginning was the band’s aesthetic firm […]

Album Review: Cauldron Black Ram – Slaver

The piratical goons of CAULDRON BLACK RAM are one weird bunch, and that’s exactly why I love this oddball Aussie band. They certainly aren’t prolific (Slaver is their first record in 6 years), and perhaps that also helps them to stand out. They have brewed up another grimy, greasy and rancid potion of extreme metal carnage that defies classification. Slaver may be even rawer and filthier in sound than their previous record Stalagmire, which is no mean feat. The music is an unpredictable assault of strange riffing that ranges from sludgy doom to mid paced chug to swaggering fast (but […]

Mordhell streams new album, Graveyard Fuck, ahead of June 6 release

Returning after a long hiatus, Polish sadistic black metal act MORDHELL are streaming their third full-length album, Graveyard Fuck, ahead of its release on 6 June. Listen to the album via: MetalBite (US) Chaos Vault (PL) Friedhof (ES) Recorded with a refreshed line-up and a new vocalist, the album remains faithful to MORDHELL’s style. The music on Graveyard Fuck is archaic black metal without add-ons, fireworks, virtuosity and a beautiful sound. What dominates in this material is the stench of a graveyard, punk primitivism, dirt and an old-school atmosphere dating all the way back to the ’80s. With the addition […]

Godfathers of sludge -(16)- share their official video for ‘Sadlands’. The track comes off the band’s forthcoming eighth full-length Dream Squasher, set for release next month via Relapse Records. The unsettling clip was directed by Michael Panduro (Devourment, Dead Cross, Job For A Cowboy). Comments guitarist/vocalist Bobby Ferry, “I wrote this song about witnessing an all too common injustice perpetrated by those who are supposed to care for the vulnerable but end up being the root cause of the suffering, where the victim’s only revenge is to escape the perpetrator’s clutches and leave them to self-destruct.” View ‘Sadlands’ at THIS […]
