Album reviews

Anyone fancy a round of Guinness at the Drop Dead Inn?

Not the Immortal we wanted, but the one we deserve...?

Rock 'n' Roll Shark-Jumping 101

World champions in a doomed world

Success is to stand by your talents and persevere

Imaginations from the other side

More like "77 Minutes", amirite guys?

Still feeling that fire after all these years

For those who can't get enough (I salute you)

It's official: They survived themselves

Comeback of the year, anyone...?

Respect for one's elders gives character

Polish(ed) prog rock adapts Netflix's "Black Mirror"

Alternative title: "Kickass Dragon Tunes vol. 4"

The art of spreading a career thin with the least amount of effort

A pretty normal album by the Sammet society

Comeback of the year, anyone...?

It's getting close to dreamtime

Still (k)not slipping anywhere

... But I did love them at their darkest

All else being equal, he's still with us

Just like "Back in the Day"...

"You're struck by lightning..."

Council for upcoming death metal bands, if anything.

Lemme check... Yeah, it really has been fucking 14 years since I heard anything outta Soulfly – 2008's splendid "Conquer" album. And seeing as how that was their 6th, that means I've been missing out on HALF of their back catalogue, with "Totem" being their 12th full-length.

Death metal album of the year?

Yes, I know this review's been some time coming. But hey, so has this album.

Another reason to tour, all else being equal

Decapitated is one of those sadly few bands that are seemingly unable to make a bad album. Even their weakest effort – 2004's "The Negation" – is still pretty damn solid. And at the risk of spoiling this review up front, well, they just did it again.
