11. Ecocided

Origin - Netherlands

Style - Technical Death Metal

" This is P.I.s Debut album on the little known West Virginia Records "

" The best description for this album would be: Death metal in a hybrid style that includes crazy rhythms, such that incomplete rhythmic patterns provide a continuity through our anticipation of the final beat established through contrast of offbeats as necessary, and sounds as a result somewhere between Exhorder and Malevolent creation, with verse riffs that resemble later work from Death.....Did ya get all that? "

" This was the bands most straight forward album..Probably leaning in the Death camp the most. Fairly sterile sounding...Technical...Low emotion Death Metal played with style "

Fans of Death,Pestilence etc...Check it out......

Seal Your Fate!..........Get It!

" Sombre Gates is the second release from this Swedish outfit "

" Picture Dissection crossed with At The Gates with some Hypocrisy and a bit of The Crown thrown in for good measure (huh?...all that?). But that's what I got when I heard this record. Their debut was pure At The Gates worship...But on Sombre Gates..The band has delved into their own style and has brought out a mixture that serves the band well "

" Lord Belial-guitarist Thomas Backelin has even joined now..making this unit even stronger...While clocking in at almost an hour long..Might be a bit much...
The Cold Existence should be proud of this new album....For it is very good and quite promising for their future "

Fans of all the bands above should give this a try.........

" Necrony was a Swedish death metal band formed by Rikard Alriksson and Anders Jakobsson. Later on the two formed a side project called Nasum which came to be so much more than a side project and therefore Necrony was later on laid to rest "

" Necrony used the classic Gore/Death/Grind style of General Surgery mixed with some early Carcass worship. There are some blasting moments, heavier more bizarre sounding riffs as well as punching Death metal beats. A few melodic tremolo Death metal riffs à la old Hypocrisy are in here as well "

Origin - Netherlands

Style - Thrash Metal

" Depression Tank marks the 20 year anniversary of Dead Head, a thrash band from Zwolle, The Netherlands that has been making thrash metal since its formation in 1989 "

" This fifth album does not suddenly introduce female vocals, keyboards, forced melodic downfalls or other misplaced ingredients into the sound of the band. Instead, it’s another raw, pure and energetic work of thrash. Dead Head plays good old thrash metal in the best Kreator, old Sadus and Slayer style, but have created from the beginning their own typical trademarks in their music. Very aggressive vocals, lots of melody and solo’s in their songs and also brilliant slower technical parts to give this kind of thrash the dynamic and power it needs to have"

Depressive Tank is no less than a murderous package of truly aggressive, adrenaline-pumped up and intense thrash metal !

For fans of Dew Scented, Kreator etc......Killer !

7. Abyss


Origin - Sweden
Style - Death Metal

" Chronic Torment deliver their third album with brutal efficiency. Employing a crushing sound that walks the line between early Vader, early Pestilence and a dash of Morbid Angel, they stick out from their peers in that they don't produce the typical Dismember/Entombed worship "

" Killer old school riffs, grinding chords,creepy atmosphere (via subtle keys)...Classic Van Drunen sounding vokills..and a earthy..not over done production. These guys put out a crushing demo as Sacretomia back in 1992..now changed name..But still great death metal done the old way "

Hardworking bands putting out independent records themselves....deserve your attention...Go and buy a tee or CD from these guys !

" Fondlecorpse is back!.New album of crushing old-school sounding death metal"

" This quartet of bloodthirsty gremlins play a sort of bastardized thrash-death hybrid...But the old-school influence is overwhelming..And b- schlock horror movies is where its at lyrically. The vocals are monstrous and inteligible at the same time.
Guitar wise..the tracks are catchy and heavy as fuck "

This bastard of a record has been in the making for 10 some years..So its about time to unleash this gore-soaked beast on the world !......

Origin - Russia

Style - Melodic Death / Doom Metal

" Here we have the debut album from Wine From Tears...."

" Melancholic Doomy Death metal is what this record is all about.....And superb it is !...Airy and dark with stellar guitars along with superb melodic harmonies and subtle keys...A terrific Low growl and top notch production "

" This album brings to mind 'Brave Murder Day' Katatonia along with Saturnus and a pinch of My Dying Bride. There are some Gothic elements..Such as the female voice (which is actually decent) and the spoken word parts (very Saturnus like) But not bad at all. "

" But if you long for the weeping melodies of Swallow The Sun or Slumber and the minimalism of Early Katatonia....Then this is the Lp for you !

Absolutely Recommended for fans of this style !

7. Arson

10. Resistance Ain´t Futile

Origin - Germany

Style - Technical Death Metal

" Formed in 2000, Centaurus-A recorded a few demos before beginning the work on their debut in 2007, and though it took nearly two years to finalize'Side Effects Expected'.... the results were worth the wait "

" Side Effects Expected offers the listener ten tracks of technical death metal that at times reminds of Necrophagist and other high class technical acts like that. Yet these Germans know when to tone down a bit and let a groove take over all the display of high speed virtuoso guitar trickery.“The Praying Mantis” bursts into life with all out brutality. Extremely competent musicianship and fierce vocals are the order of the day...Catchy grooves underlay the violent aggression and soaring solos really break things up. Most of the tracks that follow do use the same formula...But you will hear several genre's across the board "

This is a monstrous debut and a band that cant be taken lightly in the future !

Fans of Necrophagist, Obscura, Etc.....Get On Board !

Intelligence Inverted !...........Huh?

9. Carnal Devourment
10. When Life Surrenders


Origin - Germany
Style - Death Metal


" ‘Made Of Flesh’ is Fleshcrawl's seventh album, a very nice piece of European death metal that combines the early days of the genre with the highest production standards of the new millennium "


" You can definetly draw comparisons to Dismember, Grave, and maybe even a little Bolt Thrower. The music is mostly mid-paced, groove laden old-school death metal in the same vein as these bands. The vocals remind me of kind of a cross between Corpsegrinder and Glen Benton. Mostly low growls with a few occasional high screams here and there. The guitarists perform very solidly on the record, and have a good selection of riffs on each song. They even incorporate a hint of melody here and there. The drumming is tight, with the drummer offering a good variety of drumbeats across the album "

A good solid Death Metal record is what you get here.......
