Another week, another round of metal reviews in the bag. Words are tough, so we assembled the highlights. And if you want to read the latest reviews for the new offerings from Cannibal Corpse, Hexvessel, Ashbringer, Moonlight Sorcery, Putrascension, and Solipnosis, you can do that too!
Read moreCannibal Corpse – Chaos Horrific Review
While most of the band seems to just deliver about the bare minimum, George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher’s minimum is still higher than what most vocalists deliver. Fisher is not the flashiest vocalist and has a certain tone he sticks with, but it is his delivery and phrasing as a kind of master of ceremony that elevates some songs. Enjoyment horrific?

Another week, another round of metal reviews in the bag. Words are tough, so we assembled the highlights. And if you want to read the latest reviews for the new offerings from Fabricant, Courtney Gains, Alkaloid, Terra Builder, Uada and Blood Oath, you can do that too!
Read moreBlood Oath – Lost in an Eternal Silence Review
Opening with a trippy, almost psychedelic intro, Blood Oath admittedly take their time in getting the listener hooked. With what is essentially an intro track, “Beyond the Dimensional Gates” does a good job in setting up the stage for the rest of the album rather than impress with technical prowess that the remaining tracks do.

Read moreFeral/Crawl – Made As Those Who Are No Longer Alive Review
“Where the Dead Flesh Whispers” is a perfect example of Swedeath I would like to hear more of, and if Crawl continue in this same Crust-meets-Grinding Death Metal vein for their upcoming album, it will be a worthwhile release. Feral, on the other hand… find out what grind Cosmo’s gears.
Read moreUndergang – De syv stadier af fordærv Review
This short release contains seven prime cuts of Undergang, clocking in at a tight 21 minutes. If you’ve listened to this band before, specifically Misantropologi, then this EP feels like a direct continuation of that album. Take a listen, don’t let the meat spoil.
