New Track From Danish Cult Death Metalists Deus Otiosus
Seems this band is getting notoriety lately. After how stoked we were on their debut record so many moons ago, it’s definitely about time. Deus Otiosus, a moniker which denotes a detatched and isolationist god, play a blackened form of … Read the rest of this entry →
Deaf Meddle From Da Ol’ Skoolz: Spankin’ New Tracks From Grave And Massacre
If you’re a death metal affecianado these bands need no introduction. However, there are those who out there who think music started with Whitechapel, so humor me here. Death metal being mostly a dichotomous 90s invention of Sweden and Florida, it’s … Read the rest of this entry →
New Death, I mean, Morbus Chron
In the same way that Orchid is the best Black Sabbath cover band that’s not a Black Sabbath cover band, so is Morbus Chron the best imitator of ealry Death short of being an actual tribute. Honestly this band kicks … Read the rest of this entry →
Acephalix: Deathless Master
Remember the days when Death Metal was just metal for the sake of being metal? No glits, no glam, no political or social commentary, just pure, concentrated aggression. It was a simpler time for the death genre and many consider … Read the rest of this entry →
Bros On Film: Black Breath, Bleak Backdrop, New Music Video, Creativity Ensues
I swear bands are just doing this to troll by this point. Why bother to make a music video when it’s quite literally NOTHING. Why? Is it just a post street-date reminder for the broader ADD-stricken fanbase? We are subjected … Read the rest of this entry →
Graveyard: The Altar Of Sculpted Skulls
Spain’s Graveyard seem to have tapped into my cerebral cortex and figured out what it takes to build one of my favorite records ground up. Step one: riffing and tone. Step two: really emphasize step one. Now, I’ve rehashed my … Read the rest of this entry →
Behold! A New Track From Swedish Mammoths Unleashed
Thanks to their band name being the favorite verb of writers when describing a new release, the above headline is completely ambiguous. For all you death metal newbies know, I’m referring to a new song from a post-rock drone outfit … Read the rest of this entry →
Black Breath: Sentenced To Life
So, we were told to expect less of the death n’ roll and more unadulterated punishment on Black Breath‘s sophomore effort Sentenced To Life. If these Seattleites weren’t one of my most frequently spun bands, I may have actually avoided … Read the rest of this entry →
Morbus Chron: Sleepers In The Rift
Being a marketers dream, I can never turn down a record with an awesome album cover. The gruesomely loud plethora of colors that adorns Morbus Chron‘s full length debut recalls Symbolic or other such 90s death metal album art. In … Read the rest of this entry →
Sanguis Imperem: The Death Metal of Centurians
Imagine if Bolt Thrower or early Deicide sang about the military excursions of the Roman Empire and you’d have a good idea of what Sanguis Imperem is about. The is very brutish American death metal more concerned with streamrolling the … Read the rest of this entry →
Huzzah! New Black Breath Track
There be a new Black Breath track streaming over at Revolver magazine of all places. It’s called “Mother Abyss” and it goes heavy on the thrash crust. Not surprising since I heard they were turning the death n’ roll swag … Read the rest of this entry →
Pseudogod: From Russia With Hate
Trying not to use the word “crushing” in a death metal post is like trying not to use the word “grim” in a black metal post or trying not to use the word “dude” when holding a beer. It’s the … Read the rest of this entry →
Sons of Northwestern Darkness: Black Breath
Some of these posts on local bands may seem like “duh” moments for local readers (like I said, included A-Dogg and my mom that makes 2). However, it seems our blabs have been hitting well in places like Australia. So, … Read the rest of this entry →
If You Miss Bathory, Usurper, Here’s a New Track from Germany’s Desaster
Ever since Usurper split up I’ve had to look elsewhere for my main dose of retro extreme metal. It’s good to know that Desaster (the name spelling being taken from Destruction’s “Total Desaster”) is going stronger than ever. It’s a … Read the rest of this entry →
Hellcrawler: The Soundtrack to the Coming Wasteland
Western Slovenia is apparently a barren wasteland now, at least according to Hellcrawler. The music is a mix of old school Swedish death metal and crust punk, sounding like a crunchier, crustier version of Hail of Bullets at times. There … Read the rest of this entry →

Bastard Priest: Ghouls of the Endless Night
Irreverent comic book satanism. You gotta love it. Ghouls of the Endless Night is Bastard Preist‘s sophomore full-length effort and boy is it chock full of Halloween fun set to an Entombed worshiping Swedish death metal score. Yes I know, … Read the rest of this entry →
Tuesday Time Machine: Demigod Circa 1992
An often overlooked OSDM classic, Slumer of Sullen Eyes was Finland’s response to the bludgeoning US Florida death metal scene of the 1990s and a darker, more austere compliment to the Swedish old school death of the same. It is … Read the rest of this entry →
Tuesday Time Machine: Infernal Majesty’s None Shall Defy
I almost didn’t want to do this since to me it seems ridiculously obvious but I’m surprised at how many people rag on this thrash classic. Infernal Majesty deserves a spot on Tuesday Time Machine but I’m soytenly not gonna … Read the rest of this entry →
Nostalgically Thrashy OSDM, Contemporary Slam Metal and Ice Cold Beer: Just Another Night at El Corazon
There is a big difference between slam metal and deathcore. A slam is like a sumo wrestler while a breakdown is generally just an out of shape lazy guy. So, if you don’t know that difference your first step as … Read the rest of this entry →
