Dawn of Ruin – Poço da Infâmia

Vinterd

 Dawn of Ruin’s latest album “Poço da Infâmia” is an album that I personally would not listen to on a regular basis, but it’s one of those albums that is fast, raw, and brutal to the core. This is a mixture of death, thrash, and black metal at some of its most hardcore and I’ve no doubt that those of you out there who are into this kind of hardcore metal will get infinite joy out of this badass piece of work because it comes with 4 normally recorded demo tracks and then another 4 tracks of live performance for … Continue reading Dawn of Ruin – Poço da Infâmia

Decimation – Reign of Ungodly Creation

Vinterd

 My ears are bleeding. I don’t mean that in a bad way I mean that in a way that this album is so brutal that it actually felt like it was trying to tenderize me the longer I listened to it. “Reign of Ungodly Creation” is a front to back death metal album that is catered for and only the true hardcore death metal fans who will listen to the most brutal, harsh, and blood thirsty death metal there is out there gladly. Decimation has created an album that has vocals that are deeper than anything I’ve ever heard to … Continue reading Decimation – Reign of Ungodly Creation

Stormcast – Frame of Mind

Vinterd

 Tell you what, when a band can get together, “throw” up a debut album, and make it sound badass, I’m one fucking happy metal-head. Stormcast has just released their debut “Frame of Mind” and it is one of those that makes me happy that my top albums of the year list isn’t set in stone yet because now I have to go back and contemplate if this is worthy enough to knock a few off. But that’s later and you’re not even supposed to know about that so shh. “Frame of Mind” is as if someone took melodic death metal … Continue reading Stormcast – Frame of Mind

Attic – Seasons

Vinterd

 Technical and melodic death metal? . . . take my money. Just take my goddamn money. I really really like it when death metal bands put a little bit more of that “something” into their music because it makes it much more interesting. Like Despite. I love Despite because their melodic death metal is really nice and it has that fluid brutality and rhythm that Attic also share in “Seasons” and that made this album extremely enjoyable for me. Each song started off differently and lead to something different every time and that gave the album a sort of longevity … Continue reading Attic – Seasons

Phobiatic – Fragments of Flagrancy

Vinterd

 Ahhh, technical death metal you say? Well count me in! Goddammit I love it when bands are able to go back to the old school roots of death metal while keeping it fresh and ultra-badass with their special listen spin. And Phobiatic’s spin on their new album “Fragments of Flagrancy” is fucking great! The vocals have an absolutely brutal and raw feel to them that are very evident along with the guitars and drums that are taken to extreme lengths to create an atmosphere of shear brutality that is hard to master in such an old school fashion that you … Continue reading Phobiatic – Fragments of Flagrancy

Biotoxic Warfare – Lobotomized

Vinterd

 Yes, yes, yes. I really want to leave this review at that but that doesn’t leave a whole lot to the imagination now does it? Well I can tell you this for “Lobotomized” that comes out in January: it’s a damn good death/thrash metal album that is one of the best signs that 2015 is going to be a great year for metal. Biotoxic Warfare has taken influences from great bands like Slayer and Obituary and fused them together into an album that has such a violent and extreme energy to it that made me want to punch someone in … Continue reading Biotoxic Warfare – Lobotomized

Zaltana (self-titled)

Vinterd

 It’s really nice when you come across something, or it comes across you, and that something happens to be fan-fucking-tastic. Today that little something is Zaltana’s debut self-titled album. And let me tell you for those of you who like you’re death metal but want a really awesome spin on it then this is the shit for you! Zaltana has brought to the table a female vocalist (so there’s something different already) that can take her voice all over the place from the deep hardcore to more a much more melodic sound that brings metalcore into the mix, but not … Continue reading Zaltana (self-titled)

In Torment – Sphere of Metaphysical Incarnations

Vinterd

 Death metal? Check. Country I don’t normal hear bands from (Brazil today)? Check. Brazilian death metal? . . . come again? It’s not very often that you find death metal bands that get out into the world from places like Brazil, but in this case In Torment managed to find its way to my email inbox and then later impress me. The fact that this is the band’s third full length album it makes me wonder why I haven’t heard of them before since they definitely seem to have a very firm grasp and understanding of what it means to … Continue reading In Torment – Sphere of Metaphysical Incarnations

Inferion – This Will Decay

Vinterd

 The latest album from Inferion is a death and black metal that is sure to leave those of you who are fans of bands like Behemoth pretty damn satisfied with the brutal feel of “This Will Decay”. The entire album front to back is a massive punch to the face of brutality that is probably some of the most vile underground music I’ve heard in recent months. Everything about all 14 of these tracks is something that I believe all death/black metal bands out there aspire to make in their careers because simply how grand this is as an album … Continue reading Inferion – This Will Decay

Redacted- Alien Nation

Vinterd

 Now this is just a demo so don’t shit your pants after reading the album name and just go “Well fuck! Another previously respected band has turned to this bullshit topic!” because (1) there’s no such thing as a bullshit topic for metal, (2) if you think like that you’re fucking stupid, and (3) this is just a demo… Redacted may not continue making alien-themed music or maybe they will. Either way – get over it. Now, “Alien Nation” is actually pretty good compared to what demos I’ve heard before and from that first judgement of the album which is pretty basic … Continue reading Redacted- Alien Nation
