Been digging back into the death metal realm a lot these days due to so many bands successfully rekindling the spirit of old.
Dead Congragation – Graves of the Archangels
Drowned – Viscera Terrae
Father Befouled – Profano Ad Regnum
Worship – Last CD Before Doomsday
Prevalent Resistance – Eternal Return
Darkestrah – The Great Silk Road
Zemial – Face the Conqueror
Manilla Road – Gates of Fire
Furbowl – The Autumn Years
Deathspell Omega – Fas – Ite, Maledicti, in Ignem Aeternum (This one took forever to grow on me, but it finally did. Very jazzy and strange)
Anael – From Arcane Fires
Coming up, more reviews, plus interviews with Nechochwen, Anael and Woe.
Thanks and we hope you enjoy the new format!!

I fucking love that Deathspell album. It’s like the “Obscura” of black metal. By which I mean it pushes the limits of extremity. Their new single/split is possibly even better.
Yes I agree totally, but for the 1st 5 spins, I really didn’t/couldn’t get it. I even considered parting with it, but I shelved it for 2 months then tried again and it sounded like a totally different album to me. Very jazzed out and inhuman sounding. Looking forward to checking out the split for sure. Is Mikko still singing on that one as well?

Yep!

The craziest part is the drumming. Simply insane!
