Souls to Deny

CD-Charts > Music > Death Metal
by: Suffocation

Release Date May 17, 2004
Suffocation have been away a long time, with their last EP released six years ago, and their last full-length album prior to Souls To Deny a whopping nine years ago. The good news is that the originators of extreme brutal technical death metal haven't lost their touch, and this album still shreds hard enough to keep the band valid in today's scene. Sadly 2nd guitarist Doug Cerrito (last seen in Hate Eternal) hasn't returned to the band, but the god news is the return of original drummer Mike Smith, whose hard-hitting blastbeats played such an important part on Effigy of the Forgotten. Full of twisted riffs, pounding blastbeats, and some serious groove (check out the massive wobbly bass guitar on the album), and a construction where the end ... Read More:

World Demise: Remastered

CD-Charts > Music > Death Metal
by: Obituary

Release Date June 05, 2000
I seem to be in a rather small minority, but this is my favourite Obituary album.
The secret lies in structure - of the songs themselves and of the album as a whole. Tardy (John) sounds as agonised and unintelligible as he ever did on previous releases, and the guitar is equally heavy (although perhaps lacking a bit of dirt). The difference is that the songs seem to go somewhere. Whereas previous albums (to my humble ear) were a load of great ideas joined randomly in a line, the songs here are just that - songs!
Settled mostly in the slow-to-mid tempo range, the album truly gives the impression that the band is constantly tormented by nightmares, the dog has eaten all their money and food, and that their dark world is bereft of any ... Read More:

Sons of Satan Praise the Lord

CD-Charts > Music > Death Metal
by: Entombed

Release Date November 11, 2002
According to what Alex Hellid says on the back cover of the CD insert, this contains all of the covers that Entombed has ever done. To say it's a bit eclectic is an understatement.

There are some good covers of metal tracks like Repulsion's 'Black Breath', and Venom's 'Bursting Out', along with 2 great SOD covers ('March of The SOD', and Sargeant D and The SOD'), and a Black Sabbath cover 'Under The Sun', along with the one from Uprising (Scottish Hell), and one by a Swedish metal band (Albino Flogged In Black).

Most of the other covers are from a wider span of music, like Bad Brains (Yout' Juice), Kiss (God Of Thunder), and MC5 (Kick Out The Jams). I can't remember who did the others, but it's more obscure people that you probably ... Read More:

Divine Intervention

CD-Charts > Music > Death Metal
by: Slayer

Release Date November 09, 1998
And on par with their 3 predecessors; it contains elements of the 3 of them, retaining the speed, agression and their hardcorish thrash/speed-metal signature sound. Their first after a 4 year hiatus and the departure of their famous drummer Dave Lombardo now incorporating the competent Paul Bostaph. Problem is the band were moved from one studio to another( to a total of 4) so production is quite inconsistent but once you're familiar with the record it starts kicking ..ss bigtime.

The Cold White Light

CD-Charts > Music > Death Metal
by: Sentenced

Release Date June 03, 2002
It's not very often that one comes across a genuinely talented group of musicians in an over saturated market of here today gone tomorrow metal bands but Sentenced are one such group, and this album ranks as one of their best. From start to finish
every track (apart fom the opening instrumental) fuses quality lyrics with outstanding metal music, it's just a pity that their next album is to be their last as I feel the world is going to be deprived of a great band that will be sorely missed.

Once Upon the Cross

CD-Charts > Music > Death Metal
by: Deicide

Release Date June 05, 2000
Having given up on their attempt to become the fastest and most technical death metal band in the world, (something they were never going to achieve once the likes of Suffocation arrived on the scene and moved the goalposts), Deicide returned to the habit of writing hook-filled songs with recognisable verses and choruses for their 3rd album Once Upon the Cross. With noticeably more standout guitar riffs than on their previous 2 albums, Once Upon the Cross sees the band hit a new high, with some classic catchy tracks like When Satan Rules His World and They Are The Children of the Underworld. The album is also noteworthy for its cover artwork, which in true old school Cannibal Corpse fashion was deemed so offensive by the record label that it had to be hidden inside the ... Read More:

Penetralia

CD-Charts > Music > Death Metal
by: Hypocrisy

Release Date January 21, 2002
Hypocrisy Were one of those bands that had it all. But due to the mass marketing of the death metal labels at exactly the time they released this debut, they never made the running. Maybe thats a bit harsh. They certainly carved out a name for themselves in the death metal circles of Europe, and to a small extent the US too. I suppose I really mean that they missed out on World wide success the likes of which Morbid Angel, Obituary and their ilk had already assured themselves of. Even Nuclear Blast had its own pet bands that it seemed to push more than the rest. Gorefest were probably the best example. And so this couldn't have been a great thing for Hypocrisy.
Which is a shame because Hypocrisy play damn fine death metal.
On its release I personally hadn't heard ... Read More:
