Malformed - Uncontrollable Malformity [REVIEW]



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.

Incantation - Unholy Deification [REVIEW]

Image
Following the  Tricennial Of Blasphemy  compilation late last year, Incantation are back. This time with their twelfth full-length, Unholy Deification. This band doesn't have a bad album, and the bar is particularly high going into this one - following 2020's excellent Sect Of Vile Divinities, and other modern classics such as 2014's Dirges Of Elysium. ...and it doesn't disappoint. If anything, it surpasses expectations. Aggressive-but-accessible; well-written, well-executed; and it flows very well indeed. Just the right amount of dirt in the production, and also just the right amount of sheen. It's great to see a band still making inspired music more than three decades into their career. You can stream the release below, and purchase a copy here .
