1. High Command - Beyond The Wall Of DesolationOne of the most commanding albums of the decade. Pulpy sword & sorcery inspired crossover-thrash that is unrelenting in its theatricality and...
View ArticleInexorum - Moonlit Navigation
An intricate and intoxicating blend of melodic black n' death. Spiritually akin to Obsequiae, with heavier sensibilities. Suitably baroque, of course, but less beholden to decorum and beauty. Soaring,...

View ArticleYear of the Knife - No Love Lost
A chonky, sludgy, grinding core wrapped in rasping rage. Stomps and thrashes with delightful savagery. Evokes fond memories of Landmine Marathon.No Love Lost by Year Of The Knife
View ArticleClaustrum - Claustrum
Marauding, mid-paced death with sinister leads dished out old-school Immolation-style. Rides with Krypts-kicking doom vibes, but ultimately crushes in a admirable array of tempos. Riffs mostly cleave...
View ArticleBandit - Siege of Self
Someone's been huffing Human Remains and I'm here for it. Grinds viscera with a whipsaw but rocks a carnival irreverence for melody. Not overly dense in tone or production, but brimming with punk piss...
View ArticleSeraphic Entombment - Sickness Particles Gleam
You worship distortion. I worship distortion. We can be friends. Sometimes you just want to sit and soak up the guitar tone. Sustain, sustain. This is death metal, obviously. It goes slow and it goes...

View ArticleMartikor - Acedia
Agony, we know you. Martikor know you too. They're skewered in the same sludge-blackened-death-doomed-dissonant-melodic hell where we reside, thrive, rage. Pleasure and pain, riffs and screams, torment...

View ArticleConsumption - Catharsis
Synthesizes the scent of exhumed corpse, exquisite carcass, or even your oldest arch enemy. This is a fucking jaunty journey into death via melodic gouts of purulence and mincing bowel erosion. I...
View ArticleTheophonos - Banishment
Floating in the void which binds are vibes conveyed by a very few albums. In particular, those are a trio of long-plays released by Enslaved between 2000 and 2003. Your mileage may vary, and my...
View ArticleOnirophagus - Revelations From The Void
Brews up my favorite flavors of death/doom admixture. Compiles tomes and tombs of treacherous methodology. Collects compendia of morose melodies that ride the blighted, bellowing maelstrom. Rages in...
View ArticleLavandula - Fuck Beauty... ...Embrace Death
I've had Thomas G Warrior on the brain lately, fishing for anything that might scratch that intolerable Celtic Frost itch. Lavandula don't even touch the tip of that iceberg, but the pathological...
View ArticleAncient Tome - The Implications of Ascendancy
Lashing icewinds rule the swards of my bitter winter, but the clean guitars at the start of this unassuming EP walk through zephyrous, vernal fields. Gorgeous, reverberant stuff. You might incorrectly...
View ArticleMůra - Needle Cathedral
Throw a cowcatcher on your tank. Strap a snowplow on your jank-ass jalopy. Just fucking bulldoze everything, let the doomed-death ride. You'll have to excuse my enthusiasm; Needle Cathedral gives...
