Alchemy of Flesh – By Will Alone Review

By Holdeneye on November 13, 2023 in Reviews, Death Metal, 11 comments

“The last time we saw Alchemy of Flesh around these parts, the project was peddling video game-themed Floridian death metal, and good video game-themed Floridian death metal at that. Tim Rowland is the one man behind this one-man band, and he impressed me with Alchemy of Flesh’s debut record, Ageless Abominations, a record that leaned heavily on Rowland’s love of all things Morbid Angel. Just a little over two years later, Rowland and Alchemy of Flesh are back, this time promising an experience that is “a lot more intense and demanding.” Lead to death gold.

Cannibal Corpse – Chaos Horrific Review

By Saunders on September 19, 2023 in Reviews, Death Metal, 82 comments

“Cannibal Corpse is a death metal institution, with their legendary status cemented in the death metal halls of fame. And a new Cannibal Corpse album still remains a big fucking deal in the death metal world. I can’t claim to be the rabid fanboy like a couple of my colleagues, however, I have a long-held history and respect for the band, so it is a sweet deal to pen my thoughts on their sixteenth (!) album, entitled Chaos Horrific.” Death walking chaos.

AMG Goes Ranking – Dying Fetus

By Saunders on September 5, 2023 in AMG Rankings, Death Metal, Hardcore, Slam, 27 comments

“The life of the unpaid, overworked metal reviewer is not an easy one. The reviewing collective at AMG lurches from one new release to the next, errors and n00bs strewn in our wake. But what if, once in a while, the collective paused to take stock and consider the discography of those bands that shaped many a taste? What if multiple aspects of the AMG collective personality shared with the slavering masses their personal rankings of that discography.” UnDying Fetus!

Imperial Crystalline Entombment – Ancient Glacial Resurgence Review

By Kenstrosity on August 29, 2023 in Reviews, Black Metal, 32 comments

“In 2004, Imperial Crystalline Entombment unleashed their awesome debut record Apocalyptic End in White, which kicks off with a furious chant, “WE ARE. FUCKIN’. IIIIIIIICCCEEEEE!!!” Nothing can beat a line like that as the first lyric on an extreme metal album. Glorious and charming in equal measure, this war cry defines the cave-brained, explosive fun which characterizes the Maryland-based quartet’s particular brand of ravenous, chilly black metal. Fast forward to today, nineteen years later, and I.C.E. prepare their sophomore burst of icy blizzardry.” A new ice rage.

AMG’s Unsigned Band Rodeö: Paraphilia – The Memory of Death Given Form

By Dolphin Whisperer on May 26, 2023 in Angry Metal Guy's Unsigned Band Rodeo, Death Metal, 19 comments

“AMG’s Unsigned Band Rodeö” is a time-honored tradition to showcase the most underground of the underground—the unsigned and unpromoted. This collective review treatment continues to exist to unite our writers in boot or bolster of the bands who remind us that, for better or worse, the metal underground exists as an important part of the global metal scene. The Rodeö rides on.” Feel the Paraphilia.

Necrophagous – In Chaos Ascend Review

By Steel Druhm on January 8, 2022 in Reviews, Death Metal, 44 comments

“The first dive into the promo sump at the start of a new year is fraught with risk and peril. Somewhat refreshed after the ever-so-brief holiday break, you may be a bit too eager to start the year with a winning find. Anticipation and expectation must be carefully managed as you regird the loins and begin the Sisyphus-esque uphill grind. Thus it was with freshly girded loins that I stumbled upon the debut from Sweden’s Necrophagous.” Death eaters, score beaters.

Alchemy of Flesh – Ageless Abominations Review

By Holdeneye on August 10, 2021 in Reviews, Death Metal, 69 comments

“I love video games. I may be a firefighter, powerlifter, former college football player, and two-time high school shot put state champion, but none of that has prevented me from also being a (literally and figuratively) huge nerd. I’ve spent countless hours questing through Hyrule, Cyrodil, Skyrim, and other Forgotten Realms, and I’ve conquered the world dozens of times thanks to the Civilization franchise. Heavy metal and video games are a match made in heaven and hell, so I was immediately intrigued by the promo for Alchemy of Flesh. The brainchild of one Tim Rowland, Alchemy of Flesh is a one-man death metal project devoted to gaming, movies, and nerdy literature.” Hammer smashed Fortnite.

Cathexis – Untethered Abyss Review

By Diabolus in Muzaka on June 23, 2021 in Reviews, Death Metal, 20 comments

“Cathexis is a death metal band from Texas. How to further classify them is up to the listener, but to me their sound is that of a TXDM band playing a mix of Obscura, Negativa, and Hate Eternal. Untethered Abyss is ambitious in that it tries to find the sweet spot between TXDM brutality, the creative dissonance of Obscura and Negativa, and the propulsive and aggressive death metal of Hate Eternal.” Texas knows brisket and abysskit.

No Raza – Transcending Material Sins Review

By Kenstrosity on March 22, 2020 in 2020, Colombian Metal, Death Metal, Noble Demon, Reviews, Death Metal, 19 comments

“The moral of the story is that, even at ass-o’-clock in the morning, Colombian death metal quartet No Raza were able to keep not only themselves, but also their audience, awake and fairly hyped for an hour and twenty minutes. That’s nearly twice the span they had allotted. So you can bet your bottom dollar I was going to snag promo for their fourth and latest outing, Transcending Material Sins.” MOOAR Raza.
