Origin – Omnipresent

 Anyone who truly knows my reviews knows for a fact that I love death metal, and whenever I hear about a new one popping up I raise my head like a rabid dog smelling steak and go “What? Where?!” I like it a lot. So as you might imagine, when I heard about the release of this album being tomorrow I hopped right on it. “Omnipresent” is badass if I have to make it as blunt as possible. The whole album basically says from the first track that there will not be one single slow and calm moment throughout every song, and … Continue reading Origin – Omnipresent

DEATH VOMIT – Gutted by Horrors

You know how elephants can produce sounds so low that we need high tech machinery to hear those sounds? Well if the voice of DEATH VOMIT’s (yes, all caps once again) vocalist were any lower than I’d of needed that same shit to hear him because it was so low that for half a second I had to stop and think if I was hearing some singing or an added sound not done by the band themselves. The low, guttural tone of the vocalist matched so well with the guitars that were super heavy, drums that had the perfect beat … Continue reading DEATH VOMIT – Gutted by Horrors

Azooma – A Hymn of the Vicious Monster

 Just like how old Metallica used length to extend the longevity of their thrash metal, Azooma has done the same thing to make their hardcore death metal to make their music sound great for a longer time. “A Hymn of the Vicious Monster” takes the traditional death metal aspects and roots and uses them to its advantage by taking true death metal fans back to the original days of the subgenre, and not many bands can do that anymore. Thankfully, Azooma is not most bands. The guitars in this are so goddamned relentless that it’s ridiculous. Throughout the whole album that is … Continue reading Azooma – A Hymn of the Vicious Monster

Dust Bolt – Awake the Riot

 German-born metal bands always have their moments. Sometimes, these moments are rare and don’t come quick enough for some people. But for others, such as myself, are able to wait for the day when a good German metal band pushes out an album that sounds great. Apparently, the latest of these flew under my radar last week and I physically did a double take when I saw this album. I never heard Dust Bolt’s first album, but I’ve heard good things so. . . fuck it, right? This band is full of energy. And I mean a lot. That’s an essential … Continue reading Dust Bolt – Awake the Riot

Arch Enemy – War Eternal

This is the kind of album that people like me live for. “War Eternal” was just… fucking beautiful. An absolute masterpiece that shall become one of the legends of metal that will be known for generations of head-bangers to come. The entire album is a great representation of all modern day thrash metal mixed with some death metal and with some of the most perfected screaming I metal I’ve ever heard. Just the vocals alone are so fucking amazing that you have to listen to them to know what I’m talking about. The variety and skill that went into the … Continue reading Arch Enemy – War Eternal
