Tepes

 Ultima Thulee is icy, smooth like a slab of ice, sharp like broken ice, and like ice, it can leave bad burns on the skin.

 It put a dazzling order in all my failures, now easily consultable and in full view.

Ultima Thulee is a deeply emotional and cold black metal album by Blut Aus Nord, marked by innovative production and haunting melodies. Though often labeled industrial, it defies the genre with its icy atmosphere and melancholic riffs, drawing subtle influences from Burzum. This 1995 debut remains a timeless, gripping experience that stirs feelings of emptiness and reflection. Experience the haunting cold and deep emotions of Blut Aus Nord's Ultima Thulee—listen now and immerse yourself in a black metal classic.

 Silence is a fundamental element in Khanate’s songs that intersperse the monolithic chords with endless pauses and surreal silences.

 The goal seems precisely to be devastation, the pulverization of every hope, every certainty, every memory.

This review highlights Khanate's 'Things Viral' as an intensely unique album within the doom and drone doom scene. It praises the band's innovative use of silence, fragmented compositions, and harsh vocals to convey despair and devastation. The album stands apart from pure drone by incorporating vocals and drums, creating a distinct and extreme sound. Listeners are encouraged to approach the album as a cathartic experience that explores themes of hopelessness and catatonia. Dive into Khanate's 'Things Viral' for a haunting and extreme doom experience unlike any other.

 Domination Through Impurity perfectly sums up their monstrous technical yet brutally engaging sound.

 'Cognitive Dissonance' is varied, highly technical, engaging, intelligent, and worth ten.

Anomalous' EP 'Cognitive Dissonance' impresses with outstanding technical skill and complex, engaging compositions. The band’s use of electronic drums and fusion influences adds uniqueness. While not highly innovative, the album is intense and demands repeated listening to fully appreciate its depth. It stands out in the technical death metal scene and is highly recommended to fans seeking a challenging and rewarding experience. Dive into the intense and technically masterful world of Anomalous by listening to 'Cognitive Dissonance' now!

 "In this demo there is nothing genius, there are only streams of utter nonsense that, as much as they may make you laugh, cannot be called 'music'."

 "'Choking On Rotten Sperm' is not music, it may make you laugh, but it’s not music, it is the testimony of how low the human mind can go."

The review dissects Rotten Sperm's demo 'Choking On Rotten Sperm' as an intentionally absurd, poorly executed grindcore parody. It highlights the project's random acoustic guitar approach, absence of drums, and comical but unmusical nature. Although occasionally funny, the demo is deemed unlistenable and artistically worthless. The reviewer ultimately calls it a tasteless cabaret sketch rather than real music. Dive into the odd world of Rotten Sperm’s demo—listen if you dare to explore grindcore’s most bizarre parody!

 Sarcolytic is Jon Zig’s band and besides this, there’s not much else special about them.

 If by not putting in much effort they manage to produce a decent demo, I believe that with more effort they could do a good job and with a lot of effort a really good job.

Sarcolytic's 2004 demo is a modest Brutal Death Metal project by Jon Zig and friends, mainly a hobbyist band with solid songwriting but limited innovation. The music demonstrates average instrumental skills except for a notably skilled drummer. The album cover artwork, created by Zig, is professionally artistic, contrasting with the band's amateur status. While the demo has no groundbreaking qualities, the reviewer sees potential if the band commits more effort. Listen to Sarcolytic’s 2004 demo to explore the roots of a promising Brutal Death Metal project and see Jon Zig’s artistic side.

 Suffocation are true machines who repay the audience for the money spent to see them.

 Mindsnare has personality and heaviness that I like; a band that has never received what they deserved.

This live review covers a 2007 concert in Turin featuring legendary Brutal Death Metal band Suffocation, supported by Mindsnare and Natron. Mindsnare delivered a strong and authentic opening set, while Natron’s performance was competent but less engaging. Suffocation impressed with flawless technical skill, a great setlist, and vibrant crowd interaction, making the show a memorable experience for fans. The venue offered good access and affordable merchandise, with a lively, intense atmosphere throughout. Discover the thrilling power of Suffocation’s live show and explore the full concert experience from Turin now!

 This 'Essence Of Brutality' is a half-hour-long exercise in style where the two do nothing but compete to see who can play better.

 In short, 'Essence Of Brutality' is a technically flawless album... but in terms of creativity, it is truly poor; style, redundancy, and boredom are the common denominator.

Domination Through Impurity's debut album 'Essence Of Brutality' impresses with high technical skill but lacks genuine creativity and musical beauty. The album is dominated by complex riffs and extravagant drumming that overshadow songwriting. Guitarist delivers proficient playing reminiscent of Psycroptic’s style, while drummer Jordan Varela’s performance seems more like a showcase than a cohesive contribution. The overall experience is polished but repetitive and uninspired. Discover the technically skilled yet creatively challenging Brutal Death debut 'Essence Of Brutality' — listen and judge for yourself!

 These five Turks have a class that sets them apart.

 Listening to an album like this doesn’t bring to mind amusing horror films; it instead conjures real horrifying images, blurring the line between reality and fiction.

Cenotaph's 'Puked Genital Purulency' delivers a powerful Brutal Death metal experience marked by high technical skill and dark, nightmarish atmospheres. The band stands out with intricate riffing and inventive drumming that breaks traditional blast beat reliance. While the vocals are decent but flat, the album maintains an emotional intensity without irony. Despite some less impactful tracks, it remains a significant work showcasing style and personality. Dive into Cenotaph's brutal and technical sound—listen to Puked Genital Purulency and experience extreme metal mastery.

 "Our Domain lacks nothing to become an Olympus album of Brutal; ten songs each more beautiful than the last."

 "Writing songs like these in 2004 is anything but easy. I’m the first to complain about clone bands, but here the discussion is completely different."

Prophecy’s Our Domain showcases a refined brutal death metal sound, stepping away from previous hardcore influences and delivering a powerful, expertly composed album. The musicianship remains excellent with standout drumming and bass production. Influences from death metal greats blend seamlessly into this work, making it a significant contribution to the genre. The album is hailed as one of the best brutal death metal releases, featuring fresh yet classic riffs and intense vocal variations. Listen to Prophecy’s Our Domain and experience a brutal death metal landmark that honors the past while pushing boundaries.

 "Shroud Of Despondency has little to do with Depressive in general, and believe me, this statement is not just a ploy to capture your attention."

 "I find the blend of grunge and black metal excellently blended, indeed, of great originality and emotional effectiveness."

Shroud Of Despondency's 2002 album, For Eternity Brings No Hope, stands out as an experimental project combining depressive black metal with strong grunge influences and significant acoustic passages. Far from traditional depressive black metal, it leans on European inspirations like Forgotten Woods while diverging from common genre violence. The album is recommended for listeners with open minds, appreciating originality and emotional depth. Explore this unique fusion of depressive black metal and grunge — listen to For Eternity Brings No Hope today!
