2017/18 Albums We Missed


Eight albums, from eight bands that haven't been featured before.

Abstracter (US) - Cinereous Incarnate (Vendetta/Sentient Ruin/I Voidhanger, 2018)

Blackened sludgy death-doom. Their 2016 split with Dark Circles is also recommended.


Blasphemer (UK) - Blasphemer (Canometal, 2017)

Debut album from this lesser-known old school-style death metal band. 2018 has seen the release of another.


Faustcoven (Norway) - In The Shadow Of Doom (Nuclear War Now!, 2018)

Fourth full-length from this seventeen-year-old solo project. Black metal with stoner/doom influences.


Gaerea (Portugal) - Unsettling Whispers (Transcending Obscurity, 2018)

Debut album, from a black metal band which previously released an EP on Everlasting Spew. Hints of Behemoth.


Innumerable Forms (US) - Punishment in Flesh (Profound Lore, 2018)

Another debut, this time of the sludgy death-doom variety. Originally a one man band, there is now a full line-up.


Nortt (Denmark) - Endeligt (Avantgarde Music, 2017)

Fourth full-length from this solo project, which has been active since 1995. Atmospheric blackened funeral doom.


Sarkrista (Germany) - Summoners Of The Serpents Wrath (Purity Through Fire, 2017)

These guys have been around for eight years, and this is their second album. Old school-style black metal.


Temple Nightside (Australia) - Recondemnation (Iron Bonehead, 2018)

A re-recording of 2013's Condemnation, along with a bonus Mayhem cover. Doom-laden blackened death metal.

Deicide - Banished By Sin [Forthcoming Release]

Image
Banished By Sin is album number thirteen from these death metal legends. It has been six years since Deicide 's last effort, and has felt like longer thanks to this one having been teased for so long - it was announced seven months ago, and we only got to hear the first single (which can be found at the bottom of this post) on Christmas Day. It will finally be released on 26th April, brought to us by new label Reigning Phoenix Music. The last couple of albums were excellent, so hopes are very high going into this one.

Malformed - Uncontrollable Malformity [REVIEW]

Image
Uncontrollable Malformity   is the first release from this Finnish band. Originally put out (on cassette and vinyl) in January 2023, by Rotted Life, it has taken a full year for the CD to materialise. The five tracks here are well-produced, while maintaining an appropriate level of filth. Memorable riffs, captivating leads, and a lot of early Corpsegrinder-era Cannibal Corpse-style groove. A thoroughly impressive effort from these youngsters, death metal of the highest order. We are very much looking forward to their debut album.
