Review: Phazm – Hate at First Seed
Phazm Hate at First Seed Osmose Productions Phazm are a French band that sound more like Amebix than any of their death metal contemporaries.

Review: Origin – Echoes of Decimation
Origin Echoes of Decimation Relapse Records Clocking in with nine tracks (no intros!) in just under half an hour, you might suspect that Origin’s newest release in well over five years is fast.

Review: Aborted – The Archaic Abattoir
Aborted The Archaic Abattoir Olympic Recordings Aborted has been gaining more and more popularity, mainly due to magazines like Terrorizer throwing them in people’s faces. When I finally heard them, I was expecting the much lauded “Aborted is the new Carcass!” kudo to live up to itself—it did not. More or less, these guys

Review: Foetus – Not Adam
Foetus Not Adam Birdman Records Foetus is an act most rivetheads are not familiar with.

Review: Lights of Euphoria – Gegen Den Strom

Review: Combichrist – Everybody Hates You
Combichrist Everybody Hates You Metropolis In the last year, Combichrist has released some of the best music to cross my desk in a long time. It’s lighthearted, evil, sexy, danceable and delicious. Fifteen years ago, I felt the same way about Nitzer Ebb; it got in the veins and you were hooked. “This s*it
