In Vain – Solemn Review

April 24, 2024April 24, 2024 Reviewed by Metalligator No comments

In Vain have always been a strange band. The degree to how extreme their blackened death metal outbursts can be is something that goes above the usual melodeath market. So sit down for a Norwegian weenie roast with our Metalligator and find out whether Solemn still serves hot.

Mother of All – Global Parasitic Leviathan Review

April 23, 2024April 24, 2024 Reviewed by Anti-Peat No comments

Mother of All mastermind Martin Haumann didn’t have Steve DiGiorgio’s (Testament) services for Global Parasitic Leviathan, and men who write weird albums tend to switch sounds quickly.

Veriteras – The Dark Horizon

April 18, 2024April 18, 2024 Reviewed by Anti-Peat No comments

Half of Veriteras’ sound is very like Dissection with vicious yet hummable tremolo melodies layered over double-bass abuse. The other half owes more to the stated influences of early In Flames and Kalmah. But does that mean you half to enjoy it? Well if you like melodeath…

Eden’s Decay – Innerfeind Review

March 25, 2024March 27, 2024 Reviewed by Anti-Peat No comments

I picked out Eden’s Decay because it sounded suitably dramatic and moody. I prepared myself to be underwhelmed, and hit play. From the first notes of Innerfeind though, I knew I had something—probably because it doesn’t sound much like what most people call melodeath. Perhaps sometimes blossoms spring from decay.

Second Shooter – Fury Made Flesh Review

March 7, 2024March 6, 2024 Reviewed by Metalligator No comments

Nowadays, when the progressive descriptor is added to melodic death metal, this means that the songs are longer without any good reason.

Are they shooting for the stars, or looking back in fury?

Eternal Storm – A Giant Bound to Fall Review

February 14, 2024February 14, 2024 Reviewed by Metalligator No comments

This Gator was instantly apprehensive, but curious to see if Eternal Storm have improved their writing. Starting out with the aptly named “An Abyss of Unreason”, the band puts its longest foot forward with an almost 14 minute long track. Is a Gator bound to fall?
