• ALBUM REVIEW: Catastrophic Reconfiguration – Molder | Distorted Sound Magazine | Nov. 16, 2024, midnight
A couple of years have passed and a tighter, more refined MOLDER have returned. Sophomore album, Engrossed In Decay was a strong offering of trashy old school death metal. Now, their third full-length album Catastrophic Reconfiguration takes the band to new heights. Perhaps down to intense touring, bringing a greater coherence within the band or the new dynamic guitarist, Carlos Santini ...

• ALBUM REVIEW: Fimbulvinter – Brothers Of Metal | Distorted Sound Magazine | Nov. 6, 2024, midnight
This album is the equivalent of a theme park, it’s big, it’s brash but you’ll not regret having listened to it. It does dip in quality throughout and you can feel like BROTHERS OF METAL could have trimmed the fat a little, but then again, sagas do go on for a long while, sit back and enjoy. Rating: 6/10. Fimbulvinter is out now via AFM ...

• ALBUM REVIEW: Sub Rosa In Æternum – Tribulation | Distorted Sound Magazine | Nov. 5, 2024, midnight
TRIBULATION have had so many changes of style over the years they could give TAYLOR SWIFT‘s Eras a run for their money. Starting off back in 2009 with pure death metal debut, The Horror, their love for well, horror, has led them down a macabre path to less extreme takes, slowly resurrecting each time into something slightly more gothic and latest album Sub Rosa In Æternum could well be the ...

November 3, 2024 Jack McGill. The title of the fourth album from LIFESICK tells you everything you need to know about how they feel.
