Origin - Sweden
Style - Melodic Death Metal


" Continuing with the theme of alien abduction begun on Abducted, Hypocrisy forge on with a tunnel-visioned relentlessness, remaining far from boring by adding varied tempos and changing their attack from song to song. Choosing favorites is a difficult task, as The Final Chapter is meant to be an album experience. The production by guitarist/vocalist/bandleader Peter Tagtgren is first-rate for a death metal band, featuring an encyclopedia of guitar tones and vocal stylings, solidifying Hypocrisy's reputation as one of the most progressive death metal acts of the '90s. Shortly before the release of this album, the band announced that they were breaking up to pursue other side projects "

Liers in Wait - Spiritually Uncontrolled Art (1992) E.P.

1. Overlord
2. Bleeding Shrines of Stone
3. Maleficent Dreamvoid
4. Liers in Wait
5. Gateways

Origin - Sweden

Style - Death Metal

" Liers in Wait’s sole release is a product of its time in every sense of the phrase, a clear expression of the death metal zeitgeist, of the scene that bore it. Pretty much everyone remotely death-metalish in Gothenburg played in the band: Hans Nilsson from Luciferion, Daniel Erlandsson from Eucharist, Christoffer from Therion (before they went all goofy on us), Anders and Alf from At the Gates… hell, Tompa even sang for them, and this was before the days of him being in every band ever. Most importantly, though, it was essentially the brainchild of one Kristian Wåhlin, talented painter and all-around extreme metal genius. You may know him as Necrolord, painter of such classic album covers as “Into the Nightside Eclipse”, “Storm of the Light’s Bane”, and “Slaughter of the Soul "

" It may only be seventeen minutes long, but even four minutes of this stuff is exhausting. I don’t think it would be possible to write a full-length album of this stuff, and if they did, death metal would pretty much be dead as no one could ever top it. The only other thing this band released was a cover of “Angel of Death”, which was every bit as intense as this mercifully short death metal assault. This little MCD is essential for fans of At the Gates in their formative years, Therion and Atrocity before they sucked, and the mighty Grotesque. Abandon all hope, ye who enter here, for thou shalt not ever top this album no matter how good thy attempts be "

Funebrarum (Usa) and Interment (Sweden) and have joined forces to create a split full-length CD / LP entitled "Conjuration of the Sepulchral".Interment, who have existed since 1988, are a great and highly overlooked band from Sweden. They have released several killer demo tapes over the years but have remained in relative obscurity until now. Interment features current and ex-members of Katatonia, Uncanny, Moondark, Dellamorte, Uncurbed and Centinex. This is the bands' first recording in ages and their first CD / LP release ever"

Funebrarum, a band formed in 1999 by Abazagorath and Evoken members. Funebrarum has released a demo, a full-length album on Necroharmonic Productions and a 7" ep to date.

Origin - USA

Style - Death Metal

" Resurrection were part of the initial Floridian flurry of death metal bands, releasing albums in that time period recorded at the world famous Morrisound studios, before splitting up in 1996......fast forward to 2005 they re-formed....2008 a new release !"

" Being a fan of their 1993 album "Embalmed Existence"...I was hoping they would retain their old-school sound?....A resounding YES is the answer....
The good thing about death metal, of course, particularly the old
school varieties, is that the quality of the music is timeless, but it's only generally the production that can let them down. Well, this is exactly what you may be expecting – quality old school death metal that sounds as good today as they would have no doubt sounded back in the day.."

" The drums, which come courtesy of Gus Rios (Ex-Malevolent Creation) are probably the stand out, being played extremely well, having a flair for the occasional blast, but generally being thrashed with great aplomb and taste. The guitars are wonderful, grinding out memorable riff after memorable riff, (as with “Death by Desire”, “X-ile”), and the bass is likewise utterly unrelenting and rock solid. Paul DeGolyer comes across as a slightly more sane but no less lethal equivalent of John Tardy, while the production is as clear and powerful as any recent death metal release"

15 years might seem a long time to wait between releasing albums, but this is a wonderfully violent album. You need it !

" 9th full length(not including the neo-destruction Lps)from the german veterans of thrash "

" With “D.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N.” the band celebrates 25 years of existence – happy anniversary boys!.....So what to expect from DESTRUCTION in 2008 when they decide to take Jacob Hansen to produce, mix and master their compositions? The components are of established quality so the outcome of the equation couldn’t be other than thrash metal of the new millennium. But something is different in “D.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N.” than in the previous post-reunion albums: Long compositions with staccato riffing, a more technical approach to the songwriting with a bit of progressive touch and many more harmonies than the previous albums, some intros to the songs, dirty and screaming vocals… that is reminiscent of something, isn’t? That’s the “Release From Agony” era revisited at least in terms of mentality"

" The new track Plague Of The Butterflies can be broke down into a few parts and is quite epic and shows the many sides of the band. From the build-up to the clean vocal parts to the crushing melancholic riffs and even a black metal screech thrown in for good measure...it is something that requires some patience and a few listens to fully get it "

" HeXeN?..Another Thrash Metal band from Los Angeles releasing their debut? Doesn't sound too impressive in the beginning, does it? Well, I assure you: these guys really kick ass and – hell yeah – they are impressive!"

" HeXeN "fuses the elements of melody, heaviness, speed, and technicality within the lair of thrash" and the outcome is a versatile and diversified album with a pressing and aggressive sound. The CD starts out with "Blast Radius". This song is the musical version of the awesome cover designed by Ed Repka(megadeth). It is distinguished by high speeds, a somewhat lunatic singing and heavy parts. "Gas Chamber" starts as a high speed thrash blast but surprises with a change in speed and the intake of melodies towards the mid of the song. The highlight of "State Of Insurgency" is "Past Life" which shows technical diversity of HeXeN best. A great chorus, awesome melodies, aggressive shouts and extreme speed make this a great song for moshpits and headbanging "

" Altogether "State Of Insurgency" is a great melodic thrash metal album seeing my cd player to be in almost constant rotation. A very versatile, dynamic and diversified album and a real surprise......Now Go Buy The Fucking Thing !

7. If it bleeds...

Origin - Netherlands
Style - Death Metal


" 8th full length of the Dutch wrecking crew"

" "The Silent Howling" still has the usual old school air of the band in it, but it is no less savage and doubtlessly genuine death metal as the trend in the industry today. It's one of those albums that doesn't waste time on intros but jumpstarts with exactly the music that all the base metal heads are looking for. Diabolic speed, guitars searing and twisted to the extreme, plus all the necessary effects to put the listener in a state of deluge - just as the cover art implies, have this album blasting on your speakers and you will know hell. Serious! The richness of detail in the music amid its somehow raw aura simply defines Sinister. With seven tracks that generally range from five to ten minutes, having "The Silent Howling" in your collection would never be a waste of money "

" It's like the album is here to prove that death metal has already been redefined in several different ways today, and to remind us of how it was like before: pure and untarnished death metal incorporated with touches of the modern genre which makes it fit the taste of a metal fan of any generation!

Origin - Sweden
Style - Death/Doom Metal


" Furbowl -- what's in a name? -- is an oddity. To find a category to place this band in is almost impossible. The band consistently denied that they were a death metal band, though conceded to the fact that they would inevitably be placed in that category. In general terms, this would be correct, but what is it that makes it so hard to truly categorize this band? Well, they're not one of anything, but more of many things. The label death-influenced progressive rock/metal I placed on this band sounds ridiculous I admit, but it's simply meant to give you insight into what this band sounds like. I said they were an oddity, and they truly were, but a good one, and a band worth checking out "

" This is their debut and features Johan Axelsson (aka Johan Liiva)of Arch Enemy,Hearse etc. The songs on the album are groovy, fast and heavy, and showcase some amazing lead work throughout and then some doomy dark, punk moments (gasp!)"

" Unfortunately Furbowl remain virtually unknown having been virtually unknown from their inception. This was a truly unique band at the time, the closest resemblance being Entombed with their trademark death 'n' roll style. That is still not an accurate comparison, but its a valid starting point if you're interested "

" Here is an interesting record for you....Mezzrow was a relative Swedish unknown. They produced only one album and were gone as soon as they had begun "

" Mezzrow played solid Thrash much in the vein of early VIO-LENCE and TESTAMENT. Little melody creeps into their music and its pretty straightforward for the most part. This one album of theirs is quite a good one. Given a good production and being moderately heavy, Then Came The Killing is loaded with power. Considering what was going on at the time(1990 death metal)these guys chose a different path and played the U.S. brand of thrash....Lotsa time changes,shouted vocals.......Gang Style !

" Godgory's debut album still retains much of the charm it displayed at the time of its release -- its convincing production, courtesy of Dan Swano's Unisound studios, attains an accurate balance between the mid-tempo guttural heaviness shed by the potent rhythmic section combined with Matte Andersson's powerful vocals and the delicate, crystalline acoustic melodies wisely interspersed throughout the tracks. Godgory's atmospheric death metal debut was, and so remains to this day, a profound and very enjoyable release, graced with generally catchy songwriting, and with the very remarkable and characteristic talents of axemen Stefan Olsson and Micke Dahlquist -- few Scandinavian death metal bands could, at the time, claim to have such proficient and inspired guitarists in their ranks "
