Well, hell has frozen over and Sadus are back in action with a new album! I have honestly lost hope these death-thrash vets will release something new, but, The Shadow Inside, their first new material in 17 years, will be hitting shelves next Friday. Formed back in 1985 in Antioch, California, Sadus is a household..
Suffocation – Hymns From The Apocrypha (Nuclear Blast)
Long Island veterans Suffocation have been torturing our eardrums since 1988, and together with Immolation (from the same state and formed in the same year) are among the death metal bands that have persevered on their style and sound through all these years. Their ninth album, Hymns From The Apocrypha, however, marks a big change..
Just Before Dawn – A War Too Far (Raw Skull Recordz)
This Swedish death metal band was founded 11 years ago by guitarist Anders Biazzi, who some of you may remember as a member of Amon Amarth in their early years. Just Before Dawn’s lineup has been fairly stable for the last six years, with Anders being joined by drummer Jon Rudin and Gustav Myrin on..

Vomitory – All Heads Are Gonna Roll (Metal Blade Records)
I missed these guys. Honestly. From the very first few seconds of the opening title track, one is reminded how important Vomitory are and have been to the death metal scene. Brothers Urban and Tobias Gustafsson have formed the band some 34 years ago and until 2013 the Swedes released eight fantastic albums, neither of..
Extermination Order – The Siege Of Ascalon (War Anthem Records)
We all love Bolt Thrower. This is an axiom! Even Lee Vickers does, even if he doesn’t know it yet. In the case of multinational death metallers Extermination Order, this fact becomes obvious from the very first glance at the band logo. Yep. That’s right. The press release is lacking in information about who the..
New World Depression – Interment Of Sins (Fucking Kill Records)
New World Depression is a death metal band from North Rhine-Westphalia, which has released 5 full lengths and two EPs since their formation back in 2005. Interment Of Sins, their sixth album, carries on with the direction of war-themed death metal, with lots of melodic hooks and catchy riffs in the best tradition of Bolt..
Memoriam – Rise To Power (Reaper Entertainment)
You know that place called “West Midlands”, right? It gave us Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Benediction, Bolt Thrower and who knows how many more fantastic bands. Memoriam, born in the aftermath of Bolt Thrower in 2015, is one more proof “there’s something in the water” in this place in England and with their fifth full..
Obituary – Dying Of Everything (Relapse Records)
Ah, those riffs and those vocals – unmistakable! The kings of groove Obituary are back once again with a hammer of a new album! The appropriately titled Dying Of Everything, their 11th full-length release, comes out January 13th via Relapse Records and is everything an old school death metal fan could dream of. Entering the..
Immolation – Acts Of God (Nuclear Blast Records)
These guys’ music ages like fine wine. It’s a bit hard to grasp that Immolation are releasing their best music ever after being part of the scene for almost 34 years now, but it’s a fact. To be honest, Immolation have never, ever released a bad album and are one of the bands which have..
