A melodic wave of delayed chords washes over me and slowly becomes some kind of ominous premonitory to destruction. Then it hits me, swathed in fast death metal and death-core inspired hatred, my heart crumples and I prepare myself for track 2. No warning, fast chugging riffs accompanied by vicious blast beats, like the sound of a thousand breaking necks. ...

So. This is a tricky one, but I’m excited to do it. The Last Ten Seconds Of Life. They’ve been around for a while and have only in the last few years, really properly emerged and quite frankly at the perfect time. They’ve nailed their sound perfectly. Their style, is totally unique. It’s an absolute mindf*ck. It’s like deathcore, beatdown, ...

Aversions Crown, one of the rising stars from Australia’s ever growing metal/deathcore scene, have proven themselves to be a formidable set of heavy handed beef cakes; with extended range guitars, incredible vocal range, a grim outlook on the universe and the fate of the human race. All of this is manifested into their most recent album, ‘Tyrant‘, released on Nuclear ...

Ingested, a Manchester based band who take no prisoners and slaughter your family in front of you before disemboweling you. It’s brutal. It’s death. It#s slammy. It’s hench as f*ck. And its f*cking beastly. Kicking it off with ‘The Divine Right Of Kings’ which is the track they released before the album was released is a heavy start to album. ...

In the wake of the release of ‘Dead Planet’ and the announcement of ‘Ascendants’. They also mentioned that they were making plans for a tour. Too caught up in the brutality of ‘Dead Planet‘ I missed the signs. How could I have been so foolish!? TELL ME GOD! TELL ME! With various shares of bands and their albums it was ...

So on January 2nd, renowned deathcore band OCEANO, posted on their Facebook page, “This will be our year. Who’s ready for new everything from us?”. From sheer excitement i lost all control of my body, I tripled myself, but I digress. Oceano. New stuff. That means a new album? Thats a surefire recipe for a complete deathcore universe fustercluck. Then ...

INGESTED, hailing from Manchester and taking not one prisoner as they go. They’re brutal, no other way to put it. Taking the scene by storm in 2009, with their debut album, Surpassing The Boundaries Of Human Suffering, with tracks such as ‘Skinned and Fucked‘, ‘Intercranial Semen Injection‘ and ‘Cremated Existence’.
