Έχουν περάσει 2 χρόνια από τότε που έκανα την παρουσίαση της πρώτης κυκλοφορίας των DOWNCAST TWILIGHT, οι οποίοι δηλώνουν ως έδρα τους το Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο, αλλά και το Ελληνικό στοιχείο έχει έντονη παρουσία και ενεργό ρόλο στο συγκρότημα αυτό. Από την πρώτη τους κυκλοφορία, έδειξαν ότι έχουν προτίμηση στο να αφηγούνται μέσω της μουσικής τους ιστορίες εμπνευσμένες από την μυθολογία και την ιστορία του αρχαίου κόσμου.

Via Nocturna Records

LECTERN is a veteran band from Italy, they exist since 1999 and this is their 6th release (3 EPs and 3 full length albums) and they deliver brutal death metal, close to the USA sound with a black metal touch. “Deheadment for Betrayal” contains 8 brutal, clear as hell death metal anthems. The sound is clear and the musicianship is excellent.

WARTHORN come from Salonica, Greece. A super dynamic death /thrash four piece band delivering the Scandinavian way of this genre. This is WARTHORN’s first full album after a CDR in 2016 that later was released on tape also (2017).

This is what a melodic death album should sound like. With precision in the songwriting, a solid production quality, insane vocals, and uncompromising way of each composition. The songs are chaotic, but well played out guitar/drum-wise. Each instrument was mixing with exactitude. I really enjoyed this album over their latest because everything on the production fit in. The melodies were catchy and uncompromising. The leads are superb and done immaculately. There's no letting up on the intensity of this album. It's in your face melodic death. The vocals taking right form both in low and screaming tones. The latter more so.

Well, even though they're categorized as being grindcore, they don't have an overabundance of blast beating drum-wise. Sure with the opener you hear some intense Mick Harris (ex-NAPALM DEATH, ex-DEFECATION) blasting, but it slows down. Most tracks have few real intense fast paced music, but I'd say that there isn't an overly technical album with crazy tempos. There are some tracks that have some, but most of them aren't overly-intense. They're more groove-laden death metal to me, not grindcore. It reflects some newer NAPALM DEATH and some of the riffs reflect that of NASUM, et al. NASUM was definitely faster than these guys.

I've heard of this band for a while, but never really checked them out. That is, until pretty recently. I wasn't able to get their newest release, so I settled for this one. And man, what a killer death metal band! They had a lot of people (musicians) filling in on here, but the main core of the band was still on here. The release was heavy, but not overly brutal. Quality death metal from the Netherlands. They do a good job with their songwriting techniques. I really applaud 'Creaturegore' and think the band has a long future. They've just had to keep on being consistent with not too many gaps between releases.

I thought that this deserved a better rating overall from listeners worldwide, but hopefully my score will boost the rating average. So, let me tell you why...these guys give a new meaning to the words "intense melodic death metal." They have a unique style musically. Not to mention constant screaming doused with some occasional low-bellowing vocals. It enhances their music, though the riffs are in an utmost full roar, barely slowing down. There are acoustic bits and pieces with the guitar, but VERY SHORT. These guys are very serious about their music and it shows on the recording of this album.

Uncompromising death metal vibe here from a band that's in the Bay Area (Oakland, CA). These guys know how to write some heavy stuff and on purpose. The hate just flows and the energy of the album is pretty high. Some serious in your face death metal that's well played-out. I got into this album right away. It was easy, their guitars the riffs especially suck you in as a listener. The vocals go well with the music, it's not screaming or growling, it's low-end with a tinge a bit like what's featured on the new Exhumed (vocal-wise). It blends perfectly into the guitars and production sound. The mixing was excellent on here.

A purely solid album here, even though it's 12 years since its release, I felt compelled to write about this one especially because it's one of their best releases in my opinion. The production quality was a little bland, but the music and vocals are the highlights to this release. They have some pretty heavy songs on here. It's heavier than their new release (2018). I admire the originality in the songwriting category I felt that was their strongest component to making this album listenable. All the songs rock, even if they're only a few minutes in length and a little over 30 minutes in length. They have a lot to offer here.
