Metal Review: Ancient Crypts | Devoured by Serpents (2013)

Ancient Crypts may seem like a new band, but this Chilean death metal band includes veterans of the genre from such revered bands as Unaussprechlichen Kulten and Invincible Force. On July 15, 2013, they will be releasing the EP “Devoured by Serpents” through Iron Bonehead Productions, the follow-up to 2012′s promo CD. From taking a

Metal Review: Necronomicon | Rise of the Elder Ones (2013)

Quebec, Canada based blackened death metal trio Necronomicon are at it again with their fourth full-length release “Rise of the Elder Ones,” the follow up to 2010′s “The Return of the Witch.” “Rise of the Elder Ones” also marks their Season of Mist debut As you expect, Necronomicon brings it their all on “Rise of

Metal Review: Skeletal Spectre | Voodoo Dawn (2013)

With one of the dirtiest classic death metal sounds that I have heard since 1990, Skeletal Spectre hits us with “Voodoo Dawn” on June 25, 2013 in North America on Pulverised Records. Fronted by Vanessa Nocera’s haunting vocals, “Voodoo Dawn” is a pretty nice release that focused on the riffs of Behold the Pentagram accented

Metal Review: I Killed Everyone | Necrospire (2013)

Formed in 2008, Chicago death metal / deathcore band I Killed Everyone is back to their old tricks with the release of “Necrospire.” While the album starts off sounding the same as the band’s previous work, it quickly shifts to something a little stronger. The band is also introducing new vocalist Tim O’Brien on “Necrospire.”

Metal Review: Grimus | Omnicide (2013)

New Jersey death metal beasts Grimus are back with their relentous aural assualt entitled “Omnicide.” If you have heard Grimus before, you will know that they are just about the personification of heavy. From the deep, guttural vocals straight from the bowels of hell to the razor sharp guitar riffs and precision blastbeat drum work,

Metal Review: Graveyard of Souls | Shadows of Life (2013)

Spain’s Graveyard of Souls is presenting us with their debut effort, “Shadows of Life,” a nine song collection of atmospheric melodic death / doom metal tracks that will satiate fans of bands like Paradise Lost and Tiamat. Get yourself ready for this release on June 29, 2013 on FDA Rekotz because it is a good

Metal Review: Dark Tranquillity | Construct (2013)

I was starting to get bored with Dark Tranquillity because the last three albums have been pretty much interchangeable. They were good albums, but you hold certain bands to a higher standard and when they are putting out subpar stuff (based on their previous work), it is hard to truly appreciate an album. With the

Metal Review: FaithXtractor | The Great Shadow Infiltrator (2013)

Cincinnati brotherly duo of vocalist/guitarist/bassist/drummer Ash Thomas (THE VLADIMIRS, CRUCIFIED MORTALS, ESTUARY, ex-THORNS OF THE CARRION, etc) and guitarist/vocalist Marquis Thomas (THE VLADIMIRS, ex-THORNS OF THE CARRION) sophomore effort, “The Great Shadow Infiltrator,” is a pretty intense collection of classic death metal sounds and elements merged together for a very nice release. The Eye at
