Inhuman Condition - Mind Trap - Album Cover

Funny how that works out. The cheap-looking album covers of Inhuman Condition got us to pick up Rat God in the first place. There’s some twisted humor in there. These covers look like the front pages of them sleazy Pulp Fiction novels we used to buy many a decade ago. And somehow, the perpetrator’s mug kinda looks familiar. Or is it just me? Hidden messages galore or brain fog brought about by too many conspiracy theories. Whichever comes first. And that the new band sports refugees from the mighty Massacre was just icing on this metal cake.

The band’s oldish … [...] Click to raid more!

Woe! After an abject cheese-laden sugar high in the warm embrace of Metal o’ the Light, it is finally time for some trve brutality. Death Metal is on the menu and the folks over at Rise of Tyrants are enraged to the point of obsession.

Meaning, they’re on a mission to tell their story. Directly, ferociously, and without mercy. And why should they show any? The storyline is about priestly abuse, no less.

Creepy crawlers in empty smoke-infested buildings.… [...] Click to raid more!

Maceration - Serpent Devourment - Album Cover

Rogga Johannson anybody? The RMR crew feared for a moment that the geek-in-chief of Swedeath is on the prowl again. But not so. Instead, we’re faced with an archaic and primordial version of Death Metal brutality. With some – Cthulhu-esque thing from the deep watching you from the cover with evil, hungry, and alien eyes.

And yes, we’re talking about Maceration. An age-old band torturing our eardrums since 1990. A band offering fake Swedish fare because they actually hail from – Denmark? Correct, geographically speaking, but not so fast. Thus, let’s take a step back. After 1995, the band … [...] Click to raid more!

Nile - The Underworld Awaits Us All - Album Cover

A short while ago, RMR tackled a feisty mix of mainly dissonance and tech death, served on a platform of overwrought occultism. A peculiar set of styles that somehow worked nonetheless. Oddly so, but it did. So, why not continue with yet another tech death act that waited for attention over here for a few months now? Nile‘s the name, and The Underworld Awaits Us All is the game. But man, did the overindulging fanbois and girls swoon over this record that comes with a cover art sporting a wave or vortex of something that must not be … [...] Click to raid more!
