Obituary au Club Soda

Rédaction PAN M 360 — Wed, 07 May 2025 20:07:00 +0000

Obituary, groupe vétéran de death metal originaire de Tampa, en Floride, remonte aux premières heures du genre. Malgré plusieurs changements de formation, trois de ses membres fondateurs – le batteur Don Hardy, le chanteur Tom Hardy et le guitariste Trevor Peres – sont restés à bord depuis 1986. À leurs débuts, leur son mêlait death […]

Mitochondrion – Vitriseptome

Laurent Bellemare — Tue, 14 Jan 2025 00:02:04 +0000

In 13 years, anyone who was impressed by Parasignosis (2011) back in the day may have forgotten that in the shadows, Vancouver’s occult Mitochondrion was preparing a new assault. Lasting almost an hour and a half, Vitriseptome is sinister, enigmatic and reiterates the virtues of patience. An album as ambitious as Vitriseptome really does take a decade to conceive. Beyond the […]

Wormed – Omegon (Top Albums 2024)

Laurent Bellemare — Thu, 09 Jan 2025 16:51:00 +0000

While science fiction themes have long been part of death metal mythology, it’s no easy task to evoke this fascination with the cosmos in a musical context. Wormed, a veritable UFO on Spain’s extreme scene, is one of those bands that achieve such a transmutation with taste and vision. On every level, Omegon is their most ambitious […]

Convulsing – Perdurance (Top Albums of 2024)

Laurent Bellemare — Thu, 09 Jan 2025 16:24:51 +0000

I’m convinced that a one-man band cannot truly excel without a certain artistic intransigence, one that leaves no room for the contributions of others. A recent conversation with Convulsing’s creator, Brendan Sloan, indeed confirmed that the project results from a desire to realize his vision without compromise. Through the now-familiar aesthetic of dissonant death metal, Perdurance reveals […]

Pyrrhon – Exhaust

Laurent Bellemare — Mon, 06 Jan 2025 22:35:33 +0000

True to its down-to-earth themes, death metal’s most inaccessible force returns with the seditious Exhaust. This surprise album from Pyrrhon explores the societal decline of the United States using the metaphor of a car exhausting its fuel. But the quartet itself is far from running out of gas! Pyrrhon has always been one of the most […]

Opeth – The Last Will and Testament

Laurent Bellemare — Mon, 06 Jan 2025 22:08:24 +0000

Even more than a month of Sundays or the new Necrophagist album, the day when Opeth would start making death metal again wasn’t even really hoped for. But after four pastiche albums of the progressive rock of yesteryear, the Swedish monument took everyone by surprise with an odyssey worthy of Blackwater Park or Watershed. As you may have […]

Defeated Sanity – Chronicles of Lunacy

Laurent Bellemare — Mon, 06 Jan 2025 21:32:47 +0000

From the very first notes of “Amputationsdrang”, it’s clear that Defeated Sanity has left its explicitly progressive phase and returned to a much more familiar, visceral assault. But let’s not fool ourselves: beneath the shape-shifting blast-beats and gurgling vocals, Chronicles of Lunacy is anything but a conventional death metal album. If you were to listen distractedly to […]

Disentomb – Nothing Above

Laurent Bellemare — Tue, 26 Nov 2024 18:29:03 +0000

Since the excellent The Decaying Light (2019), Disentomb has kept a rather low profile, certainly taking the necessary step back to prepare their next major contribution. The Nothing Above EP deftly continues the Australian band’s exploration of their signature melancholy and hypnotic atmospheres. If the brutal death metal subgenre has not historically been associated with a very broad expressive […]

Emasculator – The Disfigured and the Divine

Laurent Bellemare — Tue, 26 Nov 2024 17:36:33 +0000

On its debut opus The Disfigured and the Divine, international band Emasculator ticks all the boxes of so-called “brutal” death metal, hijacking the often misogynistic connotations of this niche in the process. But beyond the message, this all-female quartet delivers an excellent dose of inhuman ferocity. Inaccessible, opaque and bestial: these are the watchwords of the […]

Gigan – Anomalous Abstractigate Infinitessimus

Laurent Bellemare — Tue, 26 Nov 2024 05:07:19 +0000

The famous French band Gojira (Godzilla’s original name) is not alone in naming itself after a kaiju, those big Japanese monsters with immeasurable destructive powers. In a deeper layer of extreme metal, there’s also the anomaly called Gigan (Godzilla’s enemy!), who’s been humbly at work on the other side of the Atlantic for almost twenty years. […]
