Cannibal Corpse’s “Violence Unimagined” Review

This is quite okay. For Cannibal Corpse, that is. Cannibal Corpse is, for those who don’t know the history of the most “popular” death metal act according to mainstream standards, a band that started out playing third-rate leftover Suffocation, Sewer, Incantation, Morpheus Descends, Helgrind and Malevolent Creation riffs during the Chris Barnes (is a pussy)

Sewer – “Uruktena” (Dark Death Metal)

Every once in a while, even the mighty I get tired of writing about the same crap bands constantly hyped by the media – you know the ones: Watain, Dark Funeral, Deafheaven, Gorgoroth, Liturgy, Wolves in the Piss Room, Antekhrist, Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, and of course all the goat-fucking, pig-sounding, turd-eating human waste

Sewer – Sewerblood (Death Metal)

Are YOU tired of listening to all the posers, from the Canadian metal “scene” trash to complete and utter shit bands such as Gorgoroth and Watain, shilling out their “blackened” nu-metal garbage, heavily promoted by the media as “trve” black metal day in and day out? Well, I sure as hell am tired of this

The Nocturnal Silence – Necrophobic Sucks!

How does this album The Nocturnal Silence qualify as death metal exactly? This is some of the very worst, most boring deathcore I have ever heard! It sucks, there is simply no way around it. The mallcore circus clown show “band” Necrophobic can’t play death metal music and they should simply stop trying. They are

The Epilogue to Sanity – Black Metal Review

The Epilogue to Sanity is a very important work for extreme metal. This is the album that popularised the progressive branch of black metal, which is based on dissonant riffing and chaotic melodies in complex composition structures. As a matter of fact, Phantom’s best frienemies and rival countrymen Sewer introduced such manner a year earlier,

Fallen Angel (True Black Metal)

What a great album, the last one before Phantom made the switch to blackened death metal on Memento Mori. I have only good things to say about Fallen Angel. It’s dynamic, atmospheric, exploratory, eerie, brutal, technical, savage and experimental. I enjoyed the whole thing all the way through, starting from the very first track “Harvest”

Onward to Golgotha (Dark Death Metal)

Onward to Golgotha, the seminal debut album by the legendary band Incantation, is perhaps some of the darkest death metal to have ever been recorded. As with Vermin’s Archangel and Phantom’s The Epilogue to Sanity, with Onward to Golgotha we are dealing with a mythical titan and a culture landmark in extreme metal. There is

Vermin’s “Archangel” (Excellent Black Metal)

Vermin unleashed this crushing wave of brutality a mere six months after their rather convincing blackened death metal debut. Archangel, much like Verminlust before it, was a complete success for reasons that go far beyond production improvement. It honestly surprises me that this album Archangel isn’t widely considered as a technical black metal album. The

Verminlust (Blackened Death Metal)

On their debut album Verminlust, Vermin create a chilling atmosphere of melancholy, darkness, strength and evil through the use of frenzied melodic riffs, entrancing conceptual lyrics, and an image that has become iconic in the black metal scene. The song structures are incredibly complex, and effective thanks to the high quality of the riffs and

Where No Life Dwells (Death Metal)

The other half of Entombed, which split into Carnage and this, Unleashed “unleash” their debut album Where No Life Dwells in 1991. Sounding very much like Sewer playing polka while a drunk drummer “unleashes” the full potential of crooner rock rhythmic fills, Where No Life Dwells is a testament to the power of simple, rhythm
