 "This CD is a truly detestable and annoying melodramatic mess."

 "The songs all sound the same, and identical to thousands more written and performed (better) by more imaginative and above all expressive groups."

Obscurant's 'First Degree Suicide' is criticized as an overwhelming and poorly composed melodic death metal album. Despite technical skills, excessive keyboards and lackluster songwriting overshadow the music. Vocals are described as whiny, and the lyrics clichéd. Overall, the album is seen as unoriginal and uninspired, disappointing fans of the genre. Dive into the full review to see why 'First Degree Suicide' falls short and explore better melodic death metal alternatives.

 Rarely have I heard atmospheres so suffocating and incredibly oppressive: the slowness becomes so disheartening and deadly that it results in a cadenced march towards a conscious and inevitable end.

 If the album wasn’t preceding both the debut of Autopsy and that of Incantation, I would say that the sound of the group in question is the perfect fusion between those of the two aforementioned sacred monsters of Death.

Accidental Suicide's debut album 'Deceased' is a raw, underground gem combining traditional Death metal with Doom influences. Despite poor production, its oppressive atmosphere and technical riffs deliver a powerful experience. The band's work predates and parallels pioneers like Autopsy and Incantation. This album is essential for fans of old school Death Doom seeking dark, suffocating soundscapes. Dive into 'Deceased' and experience a raw, atmospheric Death Doom classic from metal's underground scene!

 The skill of the already monstrous drummer has further improved, offering much more than classic Blast Beats.

 Despite the rift between lyrics and music, 'Once Was Not' is an excellent effort placing Cryptopsy at the top of the Brutal Death scene.

Cryptopsy's 'Once Was Not' marks a strong return after a five-year hiatus, blending brutal death roots with experimental elements. The skilled musicianship shines, especially in drumming and bass work. Lord Worm's return brings familiar vocal style but with noticeable age-related changes. While the album lacks some cohesion, it remains a high-caliber release that intrigues both new and veteran fans. Discover the intricate brutality and evolution of Cryptopsy's 'Once Was Not'—a must-listen for brutal death metal fans!

 The guitarists, as well as the drummer, offer an immense demonstration of technique, unfortunately at the expense of the compositional aspect of the songs.

 The recording is too clean, so much so that it leaves a sense of emptiness and incompleteness that ends up damaging the mood of the work.

Beheaded’s 2002 album Recounts Of Disembowelment showcases the band's technical prowess in the brutal death metal scene, blending American and European influences. While the precision and skill of the musicians are impressive, the songwriting could be more elaborate. Production choices favor clarity but reduce the album’s visceral impact, affecting its overall mood. Despite these flaws, the album is recommended for genre fans and suggests great potential for the band’s future. Explore Beheaded’s intense Brutal Death album and witness their powerful technical skills in action.

 "‘This is Armageddon,’ says the singer, and immediately a vortex of tempestuous icy Norwegian evil storms blew out from the stereo speakers!"

 "‘Nemesis Divina’ was a successful purchase, the cherry on the cake, the cheese on the macaroni, and why not, a thorn in the side."

The review vividly portrays a gloomy day transformed by Satyricon's 'Nemesis Divina,' an album rich in icy, extreme black metal. Using dark humor and Nordic imagery, the reviewer describes the album's powerful sound and thematic coldness. Despite some playful irony, the review highlights the album's compelling and brutal atmosphere. Ultimately, ‘Nemesis Divina’ is celebrated as a successful and captivating black metal experience. Listen to Satyricon's 'Nemesis Divina' and embrace the chilling power of true Norwegian black metal!

 Deicide are to metal what Mike Buongiorno is to television: ungenerated and imperishable.

 Deicide are very evil, and I too feel evil when I listen to Deicide.

 The album is absolutely rotten and sick and in every single note expresses physical and emotional decay.

 "In Disrespect To Mankind" is an excellent underground album that will not disappoint any Death metal fan because it is raw, heavy, and unhealthy but played well.

Impure's 2002 album 'In Disrespect To Mankind' delivers a solid and raw brutal death metal experience. The band focuses on mood and atmosphere inspired by Autopsy's classic sound while incorporating personal touches. Despite modest technical skill compared to peers, the album offers variety, well-crafted songs, and a potent, putrid atmosphere. Its powerful and balanced drumming supports an engaging listening experience.

 Drummer Flo Mounier demonstrates, as always, to be among the best (in my opinion THE best) in the field and further expands his technical skills.

 The work is unusual but of high class. Innovation has a free path even at the expense of the thick darkness that characterized the works with Lord Worm.

Cryptopsy's 2000 album '...And Then You’ll Beg' showcases the band’s continuous evolution in brutal death metal, with technical drumming, intricate compositions, and innovative rhythms. The new line-up, featuring guitarist Alex Auburn and vocalist Mike DiSalvo, brings fresh elements without abandoning their extreme roots. Although challenging and less immediately accessible, the album is a high-class, cerebral work suited to connoisseurs rather than newcomers. Production quality highlights each instrument clearly, enriching the complex sound. Dive into ‘...And Then You’ll Beg’—experience Cryptopsy’s brutal, technical mastery today!

 Absolutely limping and scratchy riffs are accompanied by extreme, precise, and never boring drumming.

 Obscura can appeal only to lovers of hallucinatory and confused music, but despite the sound being anything but light, it’s by no means certain that a CD of this type will appeal to those seeking exclusively violent music.

Gorguts' Obscura redefined Brutal Death Metal with groundbreaking fusion of genres and unprecedented guitar sounds. The album's complex, disorienting riffs and dark melodies showcase exceptional technical skill. Though challenging to listen to, it delivers a unique emotional and physical intensity. Recommended for adventurous fans seeking unusual and highly innovative extreme metal. Dive into Gorguts' Obscura and experience one of Brutal Death Metal's most innovative and challenging masterpieces today.

 Nile excels at guitars, delivering riffs with a characteristic Egyptian sound that break free from the genre's typical stasis.

 The meticulous attention to detail translates into the inclusion of ancient Egyptian instruments and historically accurate lyrics, offering a unique listening experience.

Nile's Annihilation Of The Wicked is a technically superb brutal death metal album that blends Egyptian melodies with intense metal elements. The band shows continuous evolution, rivaling genre greats like Cryptopsy and Suffocation. While the album's meticulous production and thematic detail are impressive, the refined style may feel slightly artificial. Nonetheless, the album stands out as one of 2005's best metal releases and represents a major innovation within its genre. Dive into Nile's Annihilation Of The Wicked and experience brutal death metal like never before—listen now!
