Arreat Summit – Feast of the Wicked

Vinterd

 With this album being Arreat Summit’s first full length album, I have one thing to say : damn. I mean that in a good way, too. “Feast of the Wicked” is an absolutely raw album that holds nothing back especially with the vocals. The vocals are pretty much on the end of the metal music spectrum that is just about as hardcore as they come. That goes for the rest of the band, too, for this album. Each member has a part in this brutal album that never lets up so long as the others don’t do the same. This … Continue reading Arreat Summit – Feast of the Wicked

Forcefed Horsehead – Deux

Vinterd

 As I’m sure you can tell from the band name and album cover alone, Forcefed Horsehead isn’t fucking around. The Norwegian death metal band is a brutal one that holds nothing back. They have a very raw everything to them that really brings out their brutality which is evident is every single aspect of their sophomore album “Deux”. Before listening to the album, I decided to look at the track listing and see what I was getting myself into. I honestly laughed when I saw the last track name which is titled “Cock Lightning” because of how random and out … Continue reading Forcefed Horsehead – Deux

Abated Mass of Flesh – The Omen King

Vinterd

 As you can probably tell from the cover art, Abated Mass of Flesh’s new album “The Omen King” is one brutal piece of work. The album is one of those that takes death metal and takes it to the most extreme ends of the genre. Everything about “The Omen King” is hardcore and fast to the point where it astounded me that everybody in the band was able to keep up with one another because it sounded like everyone was on something to make them play so fast. The flow between each song is also seamless which is great but … Continue reading Abated Mass of Flesh – The Omen King

Letheria – III Mockery

Vinterd

 Finland! That name alone should carry some weight among the metal community. I can say with confidence that there is at least one band that originated from Finland that has mastered at least one of the many metal genres. While Letheria isn’t one of those masters, they are close in my opinion. But they have managed to make an excellent album that combines black, death, and thrash metal into one great piece of brutal work that isn’t one to be taken lightly. “III Mockery” is an album that has all the great aspects of those three genres and they all … Continue reading Letheria – III Mockery

Vomitile – Mastering the Art of Killing

Vinterd

 There are albums out there who cater to the true fans of each genre. Metalcore has Killswitch Engage and others. Thrash metal has (old) Metallica, Slayer, Iron Maiden, etc. Vomitile from the small country Cyprus is now one of those for the true hardcore death metal fans. “Mastering the Art of Killing” is an amazing death metal album that really does a great job at hearkening back to the pure old school death metal, but with a few melodic additions while not having it become overpowering. The album has a truly raw sound and feel to it that is expressed … Continue reading Vomitile – Mastering the Art of Killing

Lelahell – Al Insane.​.​. The (Re​)​Birth Of Abderrahmane

Vinterd

 First off, let’s just call this album “Al Insane” for short. Second, I didn’t even know Algeria had any metal bands. I guess you really do learn something new everyday. Now this is also a death metal album, and a good death metal album at that. “Al Insane” does a really good job at having an overwhelming sense of hatred and anger that comes across very easily and stays in each tracks which gives the whole album a feel of pure rage that’s always there 100% of the time. The vocals have a harsh and extremely brutal sound to them … Continue reading Lelahell – Al Insane.​.​. The (Re​)​Birth Of Abderrahmane

Xerath – III

Vinterd

 “III” was released yesterday and it’s as amazing as I thought it was going to be. It had amazing sound with the guitars, vocals, and drums all having badass tone and sound all throughout this album and that makes it fucking great. Xerath reincorporates the use of atmospheric sounds that they used in their single “I Hold Dominion” to make the songs that they’re used in sound all the more epic and fantastic. I really wish many more people would know of this band because Xerath is one of those groups that have somehow gone undetected among the greater part of the … Continue reading Xerath – III

Cannibal Corpse – A Skeletal Domain

Vinterd

 I’m just going to skip all the bullshit I usually say and get right to the chase. “A Skeletal Domain” is fucking amazing. That’s it. No other way to put it, say it, and no way to convince me otherwise. Cannibal Corpse have done it before and they have done it again. And this time with another brutally raw album that has very aggressive everything. From the get-go “A Skeletal Domain” has the very essence of hatred and blind fury in its sound that all the hardcore fans of this band and this music will no doubt enjoy as many already have. … Continue reading Cannibal Corpse – A Skeletal Domain

Xerath – I Hold Dominion (single)

Vinterd

 I’ve never heard of Xerath before and I really wish I have. Apparently their new album “III” releases this Tuesday on their Bandcamp page and I cannot wait judging by their single “I Hold Dominion”. It has amazing sound to it. With the use of the atmospheric sounds that are used much more heavily by “epic” metal bands, Xerath made it not so dominate but made it a sort of background noise much like what Alestorm did in their debut “Captain Morgan’s Revenge” where it was utilized to the point that it made the songs more epic when mixed with the guitars and vocals. … Continue reading Xerath – I Hold Dominion (single)

Eyes of Mara (self-titled)

Vinterd

 First off: yes. Second off: fuck yeah! As a debut album from a relatively unknown band, Eyes of Mara made me shit my pants several times over. This album is an amazingly well done combination of death and thrash metal (seems to be happening a lot recently). The vocalist, Tyler Trainer, said this about their debut:  “With this record, we took a step back and really looked at the music we enjoy listening to and playing. We’ve all moved forward musically and wanted to bring all of our influences together to make something we thought was more true to us.” … Continue reading Eyes of Mara (self-titled)
