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 […]

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 […]

Under Sullen Skies

Christine Fortier — Wed, 18 Nov 2020 16:40:12 +0000

Not content to have charmed many ears with the mini-album Monarchy of Shadows in February 2020, Tombs add 60 minutes of music to their already well-stocked discography. Since forming in 2007, the Brooklyn-based band has released five records (including Under Sullen Skies), four EPs, two split EPs and Abraxas Ritual: Live in Chicago (released April […]

Obscene Repressed

Christine Fortier — Sat, 25 Apr 2020 14:00:00 +0000

Death metal, grind, carnage and madness are some of the words that come up when talking about the music of the French quintet, and they arise once again when listening to Obscene Repressed. Rather than reinvent their sound, a mix of death metal and grind that is extremely fast, brutal and frenetic, the musicians add […]

Citadel

Christine Fortier — Wed, 11 Dec 2019 17:20:24 +0000

The third album from the Australian band, which is also the one that made them famous in North America, proves that the words “extreme metal” and “intellectual” can fit in the same sentence. Ne Obliviscaris is not the only group that composes music that appeals to the heart as much as to the mind. That […]

Colored Sands

Christine Fortier — Wed, 11 Dec 2019 17:20:13 +0000

Since every album from the Sherbrooke band’s discography is cited as an influence by musicians around the world, it is almost self-evident that one of their records has marked the decade. Colored Sands deserves its place even more because, in addition to bringing the singer, guitarist, composer and founder of Gorguts, Luc Lemay, back to […]

Relentless Mutation

Christine Fortier — Wed, 11 Dec 2019 17:20:03 +0000

The Vancouver group gives new meaning to the word “fast” on this album. Singer Oliver Rae Aleron delivers his lyrics to at a machine-gun tempo and the musicians torpedo the eardrums with a cavalcade of notes, but that doesn’t prevent Archspire from being classified as technical death metal, and even progressive metal, thanks to the […]
