Origin - Sweden
Style - Death Metal

" How the Hell is everyone doing?......Anyone there?.......Other than a few cracked ribs in a snow boarding accident I'm doing quite good. I was in the mood for a post..So here you go ! "

" I have always dug this band and everything they have put out...So when I saw new demo I was really into it. Sadly to find out this is it for the band and have decided to quit. "

" On this little ditty we get 3 tracks of roaring catchy Death Metal of the highest order...Starting with 'Shudder' a crusher in every way...When hearing this for the first time..I proceeded to start stomping around the man cave like Godzilla. Damn when those vokills come through you know why these guys are professional. All 3 tracks are amazing and well produced and the band is giving it away for free to spread the disease "

Go to their website and buy something or just send this to you're buddies....It Is Killer !

Back In Black !....Sorta?
Go Ahead !.......Get It!

" Holy cripes...This one kicked the living shit outta me !......Sectu from Stockholm,Sweden arrive with a name sounding like pure Black Metal...But oh no..This is Technical Death Metal here folks ! "


" Featuring ex-members of Dawn,Mork Gryning,Beyond Twilight this one really took me by surprise. I think I have been in a funk lately..Especially when it comes to Death Metal...Just not feeling all the old variety of Death bands coming out all the time. Maybe I needed a fresh take on the genre and these guys saved me for the time being "


" Right off the bat you notice a Immolation styled riffing and off kilter sweeping melody that just sounds killer !....Another thing is the production....This shit is amazing !..Just the way I like a new band to sound..Easily separating all the instruments and really showcasing everything here within. Of special note is Calle Backstrom on drums...This guy is a monster here !....Easily going from heavy to blasting without a hiccup. There is alot going on here..So it may take a few listens to absorb all of the intricacies going on...But trust me....It is entirely worth it...This one has been in heavy rotation since I received it "


" This album is technical without being wanky or self indulging and there is some great songwriting here...'Age of Splendour' and 'Dominion' being of particular note....Simply stunning !...Easily changing from Heaving and chugging riffs to thrashy goodness in a moments notice..And all the while keeping it interesting and not out of bounds "


People this is a good one !......Fans of Decapitation,Immolation,Dominion and the like Take note....


Looking for a step away from the typical Stockholm sound...Then this is for you !


Im Feelin It !
Happy Fathers Day by the way !

Morbid Angel - Illud Divinum Insanus (2011)

02. Too Extreme!
03. Existo Vulgoré
04. Blades for Baal
05. I Am Morbid
06. 10 More Dead
07. Destructos Vs. the Earth / Attack
08. Nevermore
09. Beauty Meets Beast
10. Radikult
11. Profundis - Mea Culpa

Origin - USA
Style - Death Metal

" Its been 8 years since the last record...And David Vincent is back in the fold...Cant be a bad record can it? "

" This has to be one of the most polarizing records I have heard in years and will be written in the history books in many ways. I'm not gonna go into the history of this legendary band..As everyone knows this...Right? "

" Lets get down to it.....Wait for it........This is not a horrible album !.....Its half a better than average album and half (Bullshit..We do what we want to do,techno,electronic,fake white zombie)record. Why would such a band like M.A. do a album like this?...Cause they can !....Is it smart?....No....Will it sell?...Yes...Trust me..It will..And fans will flock to see the band live "

" Hey people are making it sound like this really came out of left field !....It doesn't surprise me at all..As they have always been different on every record.
I am not going to do the track by track breakdown as its not worth it.
The first track is 'Existo Vulgoré ' and it kicked my ass from the first time I heard it...This is classic Morbid Angel !....Incredible double bass and a winding guitar that really got me going. 'Blades Of Baal' is a fast track and kills in every way..Including a dominating solo from Trey. Now while the title track has more cheese than a big order of nachos...It has a ripping solo that I really liked...And all you fuckers know you will be chanting "I Am Morbid" when you see them live ! "

" '10 More Dead had that creepy crawling style from the 'Domination' era...Very fucking cool !...'Nevermore' & 'Beauty meets Beast' round out the real songs from this LP. I will not say much more about the other tracks as I deleted them so I don't have to even hear or see them "

While this album would have been better with 3 or more Death Metal tracks on it...I do find the material catchy and Trey still rips !...And David Vincent still is a commanding force.....Just do a remix album under another moniker next time and don't waste our time and money..When we think we are getting a Death Metal album....At the very least...Put WARNING stickers on the cover !

Will you get it?......Hummm?

Origin - Israel
Genre - Death Metal

" Century Media signs Death Metal band from Israel?......I saw this a few months ago and wondered "Are they just trying to get a piece of the Death Metal Revival?

" Well...Yes & No.....Yes meaning they are getting their label covered on that side of things. No meaning this is not just a cash grab.....Because Sonne Adam are not catchy by the numbers Death Metal but a much darker act..That some may have a harder time getting into "

" Everyone knows I dig Hooded Menace and last years #1 album for me was an easy choice. Transformation is in the same category !....A seething...brooding menagerie of twisted guitars and Doomy ambiance,Combined with the wretched deep vocals and this is one Heavy Son of a Bitch ! "

" I have A.M.S. (Attention Metal Syndrome) So it is hard for me to often get through entire albums without pushing the forward button.......I let this fucker play and never once reached for the fast forward !...Even the Ambient doom sequences are creepy and fit well with the main tracks. Older Morbid Angel comes to mind while playing 'We who worship the black'..Same with 'I sing his words'...Just a bonecrushing display of Doom/Death Metal at its creepiest and finest "

" The only melody comes from oozing guitar passages at the end of the tracks...Which is fine with me. This is one atmospheric Doomy Death Metal record here folks.....This is not to be missed !......Kudos to Century Media for not just plucking any band out there...But a REAL Band...Now lets hope it sells well so they will keep these Israelis on the roster and piss on all the power metal nonsense that they usually have "

I'M not Fucken around.....Buy this...Draw the shades...Get under the influence of whatever influences you...And stomp around you're house like a fucking cave troll !

For Fans of Hooded Menace,Morbid Angel & anything else Heavy,Droning,Doomy!

I'm listening to you people.....Whats next?

Go Ahead !.......Get It!

Origin - Sweden
Style - Death Metal1


" Ahh the follow up to the top notch debut ' From the Womb to the Tomb'....And guess what?.......This ones better ! "


" Right away I notice the monstrous tone of the guitars and production....This is how Death Metal should sound !.....Old feel.....New technology.....A match made in Sweden. 2nd track 'Morbid Desecration' with its catchy,pounding riffs get me going...'Evil Smell of Death' with its relentless rhythm...Now the man cave is stomping...But when 'Crematory' comes forth from the speakers...I really sense something dark and beastly...Like a funeral procession of crushing Sabbathy riffs....I kept waiting for the vocals to come bellowing forth....But...."


" There is no doubt Maim kill anything in site....But I really dig the slower moods and medium paced tracks....But there are plenty of thrashing uptempo songs and something for all Death Worshippers (Hey I got you into the review bro). Again the bruising production and the upgraded song writing puts this Lp into early contention for Death Metal album of 2011......These guys have managed to bring their game to a new level !.....And I for one am all in "

Origin - Sweden
Style - Death Metal

" Jonas "Lindblood" Lindblad was in a band called Taetre who had a couple of cool albums in the late ninities...Sorta Melodic Death/Thrash Metal and pretty good at that!...But when he started getting back to his roots with this new concoction Puteraeon..I had a feeling we could be in for a real doozy of an Lp. So after 3 really good Demo's...We finally arrive @ the Full Length Debut "


" This Lp is made up a nice selection from each of the 3 Demo's + 2 new tracks of Old Styled Death Metal of the Swedish type...As you probably know...My personal Favorite style. Here you will get no blast beats...No clean vocals....Just 13 tracks of Crunchy,mostly mid-paced,Coming back to life Zombie Death Metal ! "
 
" There are some killer moments here...Such as the crushing breakdown at 2:10 of "Whispers of the Dead" or the downright heavy "Into the Deep"(Bonus track on the digipack). The Hypocrisy like "Re-animation" is another of the tasty tracks that lies within. Puteraeon has not reinvented the wheel here folks...But I will be goddamned if I have heard a catchy riff in every track album in a while....The vocals are deep bellowed and work perfectly...The production is nice and meaty (Provided by Andy Laroque) and I did not get bored listening to the whole thing through "
 
Its about time 2011 gets going !.......Fuck Old-School....New School.....New Fucking Old School.....
This is Death Metal !......Not rocket Science !
