Spine Crown – The Evil Next Door

Vinterd

 Weird how the last 2-track album that I did was Obduktion’s death metal “Mors Janua Vitae”, and now here’s another such album from Spine Crown. Go figure. Anyway, “The Evil Next Door” is a throwback to the more classic death metal with a true brutal sound to both tracks that constantly pound away at the ear drums and never cease the whole time. While each one isn’t exactly fucking fabulous in my opinion, they’ve definitely got heaps of quality to them that should get plenty of death metal fans out there like myself to tap their feet in approval. “The … Continue reading Spine Crown – The Evil Next Door

Embrace of Thorns – Darkness Impenetrable

Vinterd

 I think we can all agree that just upon the cover art that this isn’t exactly your run-of-the-mill black/death metal album, and in no way does Embrace of Thorns disappoint with their new album “Darkness Impenetrable”. Straight from the first track the album has an ominous feel to it that really made the vocals feel more harsh and intense when they first came along. Speaking of which, the vocals are fucking awesome for the whole of the album that I just couldn’t get over. Same exact thing goes for the guitars and drums with their great sound and pace that … Continue reading Embrace of Thorns – Darkness Impenetrable

Vermörd – Dawn of the Black Harvest

Vinterd

 This album is everything that blackened death metal is about down to cover art when it comes to Vermörd’s new album, “Dawn of the Black Harvest”. The brutal, fast, and raw feel that persists all throughout the album is never ending . . . and it’s simply awesome. Just the overall sound of “Dawn of the Black Harvest” is an excellent mix of black and death metal than fans of both genre can come together and agree that this album is worth listening to as I have discovered. It has an incredibly dark feel and pulse of its own for all … Continue reading Vermörd – Dawn of the Black Harvest

Morgoth – Ungod

Vinterd

 The sheer quality of death metal that comes from Morgoth’s newest album “Ungod” is on unprecedented levels of awesomeness in recent years. This album is raw on an amazing scale to the point where I can confidently saw that it stands toe to toe with Cannibal Corpse’s latest helping, “A Skeletal Domain”, in terms of brutality and how intense the death metal is for the entirety of the record which is ever unwavering. And as I’m sure you’ve been able to tell, the cover art only reinforces that brutality that is showcased in “Ungod” in every second of every track. … Continue reading Morgoth – Ungod

Grethor – Cloaked in Decay

Vinterd

 I’ve never really thought of what avant-garde black metal alongside death metal would sound like if it were ever made, but Grethor’s “Cloaked in Decay” is a nice answer to that thought. This new album from this Virginian group is definitely something else entirety, and I know I say that a lot but this is bullshit (the good kind). This whole album is raw from the very first moment and never ceases the brutality that can be found all throughout the whole of “Cloaked in Decay”. Even the goddamn cover art says, “Hey. We ain’t here to fuck around. Prep … Continue reading Grethor – Cloaked in Decay

Shrine of the Serpent (self-titled)

Vinterd

 Death and doom metal have always been one of my personal favorite genres in all of metal, and sadly sometimes combining them doesn’t work out while other times it works out fabulously. And thankfully, the later is true with Shrine of the Serpent’s new self-titled album! While only having 3 tracks to it, this album keeps to one of the key features of doom metal: the length of songs. Each of the songs are over 8 minutes long with the longest being just under 12, but that doesn’t mean they’re lacking in quality because all of them have an incredible … Continue reading Shrine of the Serpent (self-titled)

Dissector – Grey Anguish

Vinterd

 This new album from the tiny, tiny Russian band Dissector is literally like seeing the treasure amongst the junk. “Grey Anguish” is a death/thrash metal piece that is definitely worth listening to because it’s got all that you want from that kind of metal other than the face that is doesn’t have a voice so deep it would cause scorpions to explode. But other than that, Dissector has pretty much hit the nail right on the head with this album because it has an amazing sound to it that I really enjoyed simply because it was done very well and … Continue reading Dissector – Grey Anguish

Whorion – The Reign of the 7th Sector

Vinterd

 I’m not usually the biggest fan of symphonic metal with only a few bands of the genre out there that I know of that are actually good, but Whorion has gone with combining symphonic metal with technical and death metal to create something that I can really, really enjoy listening to. “The Reign of the 7th Sector” is an in-your-face album that is heavy and intense in several ways, but because I’m a lazy bastard I’m just going to say the vocals and the guitars because throughout the entire album they’re loud, they’re hardcore, and they will not give you … Continue reading Whorion – The Reign of the 7th Sector

Forcefed Horsehead – Hunting Witches

Vinterd

 In terms of raw brutality, Forcefed Horsehead have stepped down when it comes to their cover art design, but their music has increased compared to their last album, “Deux”. It has to me, anyway, but I digress. “Hunting Witches” while being mainly death metal also has a tinge of punk thrown into the mix and you can see this a lot with the lengths of all the tracks with the longest only being a minute and 13 seconds. Each song is an absolute punch to the face one after another and it never stops for one goddamn second. The brutal … Continue reading Forcefed Horsehead – Hunting Witches

Vasomortus – Instrument Torture of Pyramid

Vinterd

 Brutal death metal is something that not a lot of bands can make sound good and make it something that it can be heard by just normal metal fans like myself. Vasomortus’ debut album “Instrument Torture of Pyramid” is a brutal (obviously) album that really cranks up the death metal as their genre is wont to do, but they refine their’s in a way that while I still couldn’t understand shit of what was being said, I still found the brutality of it to be amazing and wondrous at once. Down to the cover art this album is a deadly … Continue reading Vasomortus – Instrument Torture of Pyramid
