Spotlight - IMPRECATION

Image
A compilation of Imprecation's '90s output was featured here . They split up in 1998, but have reformed in recent years and released two albums on Dark Descent. Line-up changes have done absolutely nothing to take away from the quality of their material. ...and time has done nothing to curb their ferocity; or indeed their blasphemy! These guys are one of the best death metal bands that Texas has produced. You can stream both albums below, and order them here . Satanae Tenebris Infinita (2013) Damnatio Ad Bestias (2019) P.S. The split with Black Blood Invocation is also worth picking up.

Quest Master - The Twelve Castles [REVIEW]

Image
Quest Master has been featured previously, here . Dungeon synth has been crossed with a variety of other genres in recent years. In the case of this Australian artist, it has been combined with '90s computer game music. This 2020 Out Of Season release is very much a continuation of their previously-featured output. If you enjoyed Lost Songs of Distant Realms, you will certainly enjoy this album. You can preview The Twelve Castles below, and buy it here . *edit* The Twelve Temples is also now available.

Dehumanized ‎– Prophecies Foretold [Underrated Old School Death Metal]

Image
Dehumanized is a lesser-known New York death metal band. They formed in 1995, and this was their first of three full-lengths. Words like 'brutal' and 'slam' do apply here, but don't let those put you off. Released on Pathos Productions in 1998, Prophecies Foretold is an outstanding offering. Great guitars drums, vocals... do yourself a favour and give it a listen today. You can do that listening below, and purchase a copy  here .
