CHECK OUT WORMED, THEY HAVE A NEW SONG AND ARE NEAT

Though I often prefer a grittier brand of death metal, my geekery knows know bounds and anything quasi-futuristic is bound to gain traction in my book. If you enjoyed the cybernetic post-apocalypse of Nexus Inferis, this band should be nice … Read the rest of this entry

TUESDAY TIME MACHINE: NOCTURNUS – THE KEY (1990)

Aside from being “that keyboard band” among Florida’s arsenal of 90s death metal, Nocturnus was also pretty far outside the box thematically. It was all about quantum physics, time travel, intergalactic conquests, all garnished nicely with a pentagram in the … Read the rest of this entry

HATE: SOLARFLESH

Ah yes, Hate: the band that rounds out Poland’s big four of death metal. Though they’ve always managed to write some great riffs, it’s always been tough to understand what catapulted this band into the starting line up. What was … Read the rest of this entry

NEW TUNNAGE FROM DEEDS OF FLESH, SHADED ENMITY

EPIX FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE VIDEO

For those familiar with Fleshgod Apocalypse‘s last effort, “The Forsaking” was on of its more somber and down tempo songs, or at least as down tempo as death metal can get. The video adequately artsy and dramatic as the band … Read the rest of this entry

NILE ARE INTO TOUCHING FIRE IN THE NAUGHTY PLACE
