Album Review: CORAM DEO – Evangelion
CORAM DEOEvangelionIndependent2007 Coram Deo is--or was, at least, depending on whether you're looking at the Metal-Archives or Spirit Of Metal site--a Melodic Death Metal band from Ukraine. Formed in 2003, and (according to the Metal-Archives) split in 2010, they released two full-lengths during their time. Евангелион was released in 2007 independently. Then, it was re-released…
Album Review: LAMENT – Burn Satan Burn
LAMENTBurn Satan BurnLament Records2021 It's been a great while since I've looked into a Lament album. Word has it that they're going to be releasing a new album in 2024 (the year this review is written), so I thought I would do a bit of catch up, starting--as I normally do--with the more recent release…
Album Review: BURIAL EXTRACTION – A Shadow Of Things To Come
BURIAL EXTRACTIONA Shadow Of Things To ComeCharion Collective2023 Well, well, it looks like we have some more old school death metal, in the form of Texas band Burial Extraction. This looks to be a collaboration between vocalist/guitarist/bassist Brian Lyda and drummer/guitarist/producer Derek Corzine (formerly of, among others, Bloodline Severed, Alethean, and Blood Thirsty).

Album Review: SACRIFICIUM – Oblivion
SACRIFICIUMOblivionNordic Mission2023 It's hard to believe it's been ten years since German death metal band Sacrificium released any material, as it says on the band's page on Bandcamp. So, I did a bit of double-checking, and…well, if you're not counting the The Avowal Of The Centurion EP they released in 2019, then yes, they haven't…
Album Review: YOUR CHANCE TO DIE – Ex Nihilo
YOUR CHANCE TO DIEEx NihiloEMP Label-Group2017 For years, I've known about South Carolina band Your Chance To Die, by way of one of their songs landing on a Red Cord Records sampler I downloaded from the site back in 2009 or so. I need to dig that up and do a proper review of that…
