Review: “Misery” by My Own Will

Having been engineered and co-produced by Max Kushner, mixed and co-produced by Cody Stewart (Worm Shepherd, The Dialectic, Impending Doom) with mastering and additional mixing by Christian Donaldson  (Suffocation, Shadow of Intent, Ingested), its fair to say the new EP “Misery” from My Own Will has some serious names attached to it. The record follows 2022

Review: “Self Titled” by Meltification

Hailing from Copenhagen Denmark and taking influences from the late 80’s and early 90’s era of Earache Records bands, Meltification are a two piece Death Metal infused Grindcore band quite like no other. Formed by Tue Sprogø (Death Token, Asbest, Deformation), a veteran of the Copenhagen Hardcore scene and former Imperious Mortality drummer Thomas Rindom, between them the

Review: “Rinse and Repeat” by Tide7 (1st Anniversary)

Citing a wide range of influences from spanning Metalcore, Deathcore, Hardcore, DJent and Mathcore, Tide7 hail from Cork in Ireland and promise an aggressive sound that fuses intense lyrics with chaotic dissonance, groove laden riffs and of course huge breakdowns. The band got together in late 2022 with guitarist Luke Nirever recording and producing their

Review: “A Pathetic Excuse For A Life” by Melting

Is there a better way to describe Pvrgatorii that f***ing hostile? A Spanish duo who hail from the vibrant city of Barcelona started the project back in 2018 and have consistently defined their sound as “Black Metal ov Death” a violently turbulent fusion of raw Black Metal abrasions, Hardcore Punk urgency and noise-laden Deathgrind hostility.

Review: “Radical Views” by BlackMarket

“Genre bending and fierce. This EP is here to showcase our range. The core is classic Blackmarket, jaw-breaking lyrics and electronics that come with a bite. But this time, we’ve embraced our metal influences more. Reaching deep into our contempt and turning it into gut-wrenching, hard-hitting Metal.” ~ Fraser Burrow, vocals

Review: “Iron Baphomet” by Necrobeast

It is written upon ancient scrolls found in long forgotten tombs by those who see fortunes only to find plague and pestilence that twenty years ago in Valdivia Chile, Necrobeast was born under blackened skies. Creating sonic abrasions in Old School Blackened Thrash with lyrical narratives that muse on the nature of the cosmos, the

Review: “Doombeaver” by Gloomweaver

Three years ago it looked like South Coast Slamming Beatdown Deathcore quintet Gloomweaver would be no more as despite their well received debut EP “Dragged Back to the Waking World” original vocalist Jordan Mewse, guitarist James Lane and bassist Josh Forrest all exited stage left. However drummer Joe Kaleth and guitarist Mike Simon had other
