Death Metal

Straight forward, no compromises: That’s UNCONQUERED. Thundering with newly fueled power from the shadows and dust of humanity’s crumbling existence, KATAKLYSM return triumphant with their 14th full length studio album: UNCONQUERED. For almost 3 decades, the French-Canadian melodic death metal syndicate has delivered unapologetic waves of powerful sound across the entire globe. As of late, that globe has suffered tremendously, forcing the inspiration of many artists to extinguish, but for KATAKLYSM, the pressure caused a creative spring to burst forth with furious energy. Themes of fighting back and overcoming the insurmountable seethe through the lyrics and melodies of UNCONQUERED; consistent, sonic reminders of the battles that lead to triumph. Songs like the hostile first single “The Killshot” give definition to the steadfast existence of KATAKLYSM as a whole. Taking this album by the horns, the band had a desire to modernize what they were doing, and to be brutally honest, more so than ever before. The second single “Cut Me Down” is exponentially haunting and melodic. The song also includes guest vocals from Tuomas Saukkonen of the Finnish metal band Wolfheart. His powerful vocals accompany the track perfectly. Long nights, whether in person or from a distance, were spent writing and composing this album. KATAKLYSM fans will hear obvious moments that reflect back to the times of Shadows & Dust and Serenity In Fire; Straight forward, no mistakes, no compromises. “It’s so aggressive yet at the same time, easy to listen to,” describes Dagenais. These two elements combined create a murderous, power fueled combo, a deepness and dramatic overtone that is also incredibly uplifting. It is clear that every member of the band gave 200%, pushing themselves far beyond the normal realm of creativity to bring this album into existence. To assist in enhancing the depth of this sound, Dagenais decided to finally employ for the first time a 7 string guitar, something he’d been craving for quite some time. Like an elephant barreling through a tiny room, the 7 string brings extra punch and weight to the record, enhancing the richness and making it seem as if there are even more guitars playing. When it came time to record the album, Dagenais dove in furiously with an ingrained desire for perfection. “From the ground up, the first demos to the final thing, I didn’t want to have any regrets with this. I wanted to make sure there was nothing left behind, unfinished, no mistakes.” In addition to Dagenais’s clinical approach to the recording, KATAKLYSM hired on the legendary Colin Richardson, post retirement, to aid in the production of UNCONQUERED’s weightier sound. “We got lucky because he accepted to come back and do this album; the first death metal record he’s done since he retired,” recalls Iacono. With Chris Clancy’s technicality and precision assisting him, the end result of the sound of UNCONQUERED can not be understated. This resurgence of old school temperament and musical fury required a clean, and powerful piece of artwork to represent its arrival. The infamous heart beast, which also appeared on In The Arms Of Devastation (2006), Prevail (2008), and Heaven’s Venom (2010), makes its return with a cover image created by artist Blake Armstrong. This frightening and dominant being sears across a white universe, screaming in both triumph and agony. Not many bands have achieved what KATAKLYSM has in the span of their long and rigorous career, but what truly makes them stand them apart from the masses is seeing the world through truthful eyes, and creating the perfect musical landscape to describe it. With this new album, KATAKLYSM comes swinging at life with hope, and renewed energy even amidst the world’s current, chaotic state. These things combined with KATAKLYSM’s relentless and organic ability to create, are the roots of what has bestowed UNCONQUERED upon us.

The terrific 3rd full-length by this notable Melbourne based band. Borne out of the members desire to see a resurgence of a heavier, more dissonant style of Death Metal back in 2006, Ignivomous were among the first wave of bands to reignite interest

American death metal masters ABYSMAL DAWN are back! After a six-year gap, the Los Angeles-based outfit and Season of Mist hereby present 'Phylogenesis'. From the darkest depths, they prevailed, heralding a new chapter in the group's storied history. Conceptually, 'Phylogenesis' deals with the breakdown of social constructs humans have built over time. The album title is defined by the evolution (or diversification) of a species. So, 'Phylogenesis' is an ironic take on guitarist / vocalist Charles Elliott's observations, particularly how social media has accelerated and exacerbated the de-evolution of humanity's interactive abilities. Track listing: 1. Mundane Existence 2. The Path of The Totalitarian 3. Hedonistic 4. A Speck in The Fabric of Eternity 5. Coerced Evolution 6. True to The Blind 7. Soul-Sick Nation 8. The Lament Configuration Bonus track (on CD only) 9. Flattening of Emotions (DEATH cover)

|Синий свет. Нет тепла. Ледяная стена более плотного, чем плотного звука. FROZEN SOUL из Далласа, Техас, оправдывает свое название как звучание дэт-метала в его самом холодном и классическом виде. Риф за медленным, шлифовальным риффом, нельзя не понять темы изоляции и страдания, которые пронизывают массивные звуковые послания квинтета. С первой ноты их дебюта в Century Media, Crypt of Ice, это похоже на звучание марша Night King из Игры престолов: ничего тонкого в этом нет. Марка прямого, откровенного дэт-метала от FROZEN SOUL - это глоток свежего воздуха в жанре, выходящем за рамки технических возможностей.

Back with a vengeance and hell-bent on destruction, CADAVER are back in business and ready to reign. Edder & Bile – the first full length from this band’s new incarnation of Anders Odden’s original, extreme metal vision. Brimming with the same primal, primitive spirit that drove the band’s early works, the likes of Morgue Ritual and Let Me Burn are also full of fresh perversity and evidence of the same contrary instincts that always set Cadaver apart from their supposed peers. Vocal cameos from death metal icons Kam Lee (MASSACRE) and Jeff Becerra (POSSESSED) ensure that this crushing rebirth has underground credentials to spare.

The German Death Metal battleship Slaughterday comes from East Frisia, a region in which a piece of the finest death steel has always been popular. The duo was founded in 2010. Jens Finger, who previously flew over the strings with the veterans of OBSCENITY for many years, takes over guitar and bass. Bernd Reiners beats the drum and grunts into the mic. Live , the two have been supported by three other musicians. 9 brand new, drenched in blood, classic death metal anthems, with a high value on melodic lead guitars, can be found on their third longplayer. Bands like Autopsy, Asphyx, Entombed and Massacre can be considered as influences. Slaughterday have arrived at the international death metal peak.

To put it plain and simple, PUTERAEON is one of the best old-school death metal bands from Sweden nowadays. And we’re talking Sweden, home of bands such as Nihilist, Grave and Dismember. Puteraeon carries the tradition of all things obscure and, on album No. 4, delve (even) deeper into H.P. Lovecraft's dark world and emerge with “The Cthulhian Pulse: Call From The Dead City”, a collection of ten tracks which are easily the most mature the band have done so far. Mixed and mastered by Dan Swanö, who has the following to say about the album: “One of the best Death Metal albums I have ever mixed. I just love the mysterious and more adventurous musical arrangements, yet keeping the raw and brutal HM2 SweDeath vibe intact as a back bone. Excellent musicianship all over and easily their best release so far!”. “The Cthulhian Pulse” oozes with darkness, but brings out a more melodic side to Puteraeon, making it one of the death metal candidates for album of the year. It will be released in digital, CD and vinyl formats. Puteraeon was formed in 2008 by guitarist & vocalist Jonas Lindblood (Taetre) and the did three demos between 2008 and 2009. In the meantime, and before recording the debut album “The Esoteric Order”, he put together a solid line-up. Shortly after the debut album hit the streets, the band hit the stage and it was a one-way road to sucess within the old-school death metal genre. In early 2012 the second full-length album, “Cult Cthulhu” (the second also mastered by Andy LaRoque) was released. The band quickly started another round of gigs. A split 7” with Revel In Flesh was released in 2014, before Puteraeon release album No. 3 “The Crawling Chaos” in the same year. The EPs “The Empires Of Death” & “The Dunwitch Damnation” were the band’s following releases, in 2017 and 2018, respectively

Mini-LP. No rest for one of Britain’s most melancholic exports: Just half a year after MY DYING BRIDE returned from their break with their haunting and successful (German Album Charts #12) masterpiece »The Ghost Of Orion«, the sons of Halifax raise the curtains to the »Macabre Cabaret«. The new EP of the band offers three new songs – dark luscious Death Doom ear candies that will dive their victim into a sensual world of darkness and temptation and conceal the borders between sweet pain and destructive illusion. The EP was produced mixed and mastered by maestro Mark Mynett and crowned with a beautiful and sinister artwork from Bunker Artworks

Come one! Come all, to the demented, heinous bloodbath of a murder metal circus that declares MACABRE’s return; Carnival of Killers. As MACABRE’s first full length album in almost 10 years since the release of Grim’s Scary Tales in 2011, and just in time for their 35th anniversary as a band, this latest installment to the catalogue will butcher your ears and derange your psyche as to be expected! Judging by the title, one can positively assume Carnival of Killers contains stories of your favorite murderous psychos: Bundy, Speck, Gacy, Ramirez, and a slew of heinous killers never sung about by MACABRE, before now. The album artwork, designed by Corporate Death (Lead Singer Lance Lencioni) and artist Laz Gein presents a “Where’s Waldo” style illustration of a colorful carnival filled with jovial children on rides, all amidst a slew of the album’s most memorable references: Bundy waving a woman over to his Beetle with his cast, H.H. Holmes displaying medical skeletons to passers by, Bittaker and Norris hammering their latest victim in the face in public instead of in front of a camera… a touching, family oriented, thrill filled weekend!

Old school death metal reigns supreme; if the blood-spattered glory of Carcass is your (body) bag, if the headbang-inducing brutality of Cannibal Corpse is too much for you to resist, then UNDEATH have served up a feast for you. Lesions Of A Different Kind is the sound of three lifetimes of subterranean sickness and death metal worship coalescing in a severe brain-bludgeoning that clocks in at just a little over half an hour.
