Unconsecrated - Slave to the Grave Ep (2010)

1. Buried in the Crypt
2. Exhumating Profaned Flesh
3. Slave to the Grave
4. Breath of Desolation

Origin - Spain
Style - Death Metal

" Dark Descent Records brings all of us another nasty little Ep here.....Spanish Death Metal horde Unconsecrated...With what I hope is a precursor to a full length sometime soon ! "

" 3 new tracks and an outro....For a 13 minute dose of Bruising Swedish inspired Death Metal.
These guys are good at what they do.....They really capture that buzz and the bass heavy production gives this a wallop that most bands just dont get "

" Shitloads of crushing guitars and tempos that switch from balsy to blasting...Theres no shortage of catchy groove on here..And this is what sets bands like this apart from the dozens of Entombed wannabes....Groove...Motherfuckers ! "

So in short: Awesome 3 track teaser of top quality Death Metal....On the downside...Only an Ep after almost 3 years since the last demo was made?.......Im not pushing for bands to put out shite every six months.....But do keep in mind that fans forget rather quickly !.....And it would be a shame for a band with this much talent to wither away and not live up to their potential......Nuff said

More Please !.......Greedy Bastard I am !
Hear....    There....

Dark Descent Records - Go there and spend $6.50 for this beauty...And buy some more stuff while you are there !

Origin - USA
Style - Death Metal

" Well I received an e-mail from Patrick Bruss (Crypticus,Tombstones,Ribspreader) about a new digital Ep he had put together and being a fan of the blog(hopefully) He asked me to give it a spin and spread it around the net....First of all: My apologies to Patrick (Sorry it took so long brother)..Secondly: Goddamn right I gave it a whirl and here are my thoughts "

" If you are into the sinister leanings of horror inspired Death Metal in any way...This man knows what he is doing. If you dig Hooded Menace and such acts....You cannot go wrong here !....4 tracks of well produced Old sounding (stylistically) Death Metal in the true Scandinavian tradition. What hits me right away is the cavernous vokills....This shit is scary and sounds like the creature is rising up to grab you by the leg and skullfuck you to death...."

" You get One track from the upcoming album "The Nexus Of Death", (due 2011) one
reinvented demo track, one exclusive new track, & a cover of the RUNEMAGICK
classic "Enter The Realm Of Death"....Ans some killer artwork I might add (Can I get a full size litho for the mancave please ). And dont forget the drumnmer Brynjar Helgetun (Paganizer,Ribspreader,The Grotesquery) and you have a nice 'Free" Ep available for download off of Crypticus web site or myspace "

You have to say Hailz to Patrick and other artists out there making the music we love and giving it away for free...Maximum Respect sir !....But support these projects when you get the chance (Cds,Tshirts) and Im sure everyone will be happy....Nuff said

" When playing Crushing Doomy Death Metal....One must take into consideration the sound...And the two earlier demo's left a little to be desired. But on this little ditty..We get a much improved production..Albeit still gloomy atmosphere,Crushing wall of guitars,Barely audible Vocal's. But it works !....In a very Autopsy kinda way "

" 13 minutes of Deathly/Doom Metal with some cool time changes and buildups.....All blessed by the Finnish way of doing it ! "

" Like the more suffocating side of the new>old Death Metal movement?....As in Vasaeleth,Hatespawn etc.....Then this 3 tracker is right up your alley. Very bass heavy production..Bordering on muffling guitars,Deep vocal's, giving all of it a claustrophobic aura to it "

3. Entangled in Shreds
4. Mild Stench of Rot 
5. Dismemberment in Trance
6. Cranial Cradle

Origin - Finland
Style - Death Metal/Grindcore

" Xysma is a Finnish cult band that was actually started as a grindcore band pretty much cloning the style that early Carcass and Napalm Death were playing. This resulted in being the first grindcore band ever to emerge from Finland. But soon they got fed-up with this style and changed into something that"s more death metal with the first two albums. Evolving further they adopted a Black Sabbath kind of vibe which they draw further throughout their career, ending up as a psychedelic kind of 70"s rock band "

" This is the 12" Mini-Lp...on Comeback records.....Where as the first demo was all Carcass worship....This first Ep see's the band moving in a more Death Metal zone....Still grinding,putrid,unhuman vocals(reminding of Demilich),dominant low production value and increased audio filth, with raging low tuned guitars, mid-fast hardcore pace to blast-beat drums "

This stuff is pure filth and sick to the bone !......Fans of Old Carcass,Impetigo,Exhumed etc...Get this shit !

Phrenetic Chainsaw Suicide!.......Ohh Yeahh !

" BANISHED FROM INFERNO began life in 2003 as BERENICE BLEEDING until the name was changed in 2007. The band was started by three old friends from Spain and Sweden: Rober (MACHETAZO), Rogga Johansson (PAGANIZER, RIBSPREADER, DEMIURG, EDGE OF SANITY, etc), and Phlegeton (WORMED, GODÜS, HUMAN MINCER, etc). Their aim was to play evil, old school Death Metal influenced by Hellhammer, Celtic Frost, Obituary, Dark Throne and other classic bands "

" Banished From Inferno put out this 5 tracker with enthusiasm and gusto while hitting all of the requisite genre elements. Catchy songs based around simple riffs, good variations in tempo to spice things up a bit, and decent production that, although intentionally rough and sloppy, retains a great deal of power and heft. And a killer cover of “Into The Crypts of Rays” at the end of the last track (hang around for it) "

What would you expect from this kind of talent?..........Full length in the worx...

2. Autopsychopath

3. Crawling Towards the End

4. Chambers of Hatred

5. End of Human Era

6. Monument of Revenge

7. Pathways of the Dead

Origin - Finland

Style - Death Metal

" Lie in Ruins was initially formed in 1993. Roni S.(Vokills/Drums) & Tuomas K. (Guitar/Bass/Backing Vokills) shared a common interest in Death Metal bands from that era, especially the swedish ones like Entombed,Dismember and Grave.

Years passed on and Lie in Ruins was put in the background for several years,until in 2002, time was ready for rehearsals and composing new material..In 2005 the demo entitled '...Monuments' was finally released....Followed by ...'Statues' in 2006 "

" This Ep is a Collection of remixed and remastered songs from "...Monuments" and "...Statues"demos "

" As you can imagine by the bands influences above...Exactly what you are in for is the old sound from Sweden. Nihilist comes to mind when hearing the first 3 tracks...The production on this Ep is dense and bottom heavy..Making it sound like an old demo..(Im sure thats what they were shooting for) "

Since this Ep and a split with Deathevokation (Fucking Killers!)...Lie In Ruins has been signed by Spikefarm records and is in the studio recording their debut full-length...Due in the fall.....

If you dig the sound of the old demo's.....Kinda murky and fuzzy....Then give this a shot !

Temple of Darkness !............Go Ahead !

4. Chained To Reality

Origin - Sweden
Style - Death Metal

" Formed in (Stenhamra) in 1989...Cauterizer featured members who would be in such great acts as Coercion,Grave,Bloodstone etc. "

" They actually recorded this demo in 1992....Later released by Wild Rags as a cassette Ep in 1993. And Here re-released by the Awesome Blood Harvest Records as a 7" Ep "

" Cauterizer sound very close to one of my favorites from the era...God Macabre..Heavy Eerie Death Metal with Absolutely Monstrous vocals....But lacking the solos of God Macabre...This has a powerful sound and is another of the lost gems from Sweden !

Mandatory !
