Alluvial – Death Is But A Door Review

January 20, 2024January 15, 2024 Reviewed by Metalligator No comments

Alluvial sport a sound that reminds me of Dyscarnate’s With All Their Might if they would also play around with some slams. The four songs on Death Is But A Door cover some different ground in its 17 minutes. “Bog Dweller” has some very intricate drum fills that hint at the band’s past prog chops. Chop and slam!

Saevus Finis – Facilis Descensus Averno Review

January 19, 2024January 14, 2024 Reviewed by Cosmo No comments

So, who are Saevus Finis? With members sporting names like Sangvis Aestvs, it’s hard to say. What do they play? The promo sheet mentions, effectively, “if you like death metal, you’ll like these guys”—noting Immolation, Incantation, Morbid Angel, Viande, and Maere as touch-stones. New year, new you: resolve to like death metal, damnit.

Cancer Christ – God is Violence Review

January 18, 2024January 18, 2024 Reviewed by Scuttlegoat No comments

In Cancer Christ’s warped denomination, our boys in blue are very much despised by the lord, Jesus legitimizes his war crimes by the size of his genitalia and the death penalty applies mostly to those of the ruling class. Satire has to hurt and Cancer Christ understand this—it is time to take off the velvet gloves. DO YOU WANNA READ A GREAT FUFUFUCKING REVIEW!
