"Transgressing The Afterlife ? The Complete Recordings 1988-2002" - the complete discography of ABRAMELIN (founded under the moniker ACHERON), Australia?s greatest death metal band who forged a captivating sound somewhere between European Groove and US brutality.
The rotten seeds of ABYSSUS were planted years ago via the "Monarch to the Kingdom of the Dead" EP (2012), the "Summon the Dead" EP (2014) and the splits with Nocturnal Vomit (2013), Morbider (2014) and Slaktgrav (2014), so it was about damn time to see them go the full-length route.
The wait is over: "Into the Abyss" has arrived. This hyper-active Greek band formed back in 2011 pay homage to the intense, pounding and energetic Death Metal from the good old late 80´s and early 90´s, drawing their influences from such legendary acts as Obituary, Death, Viogression, Asphyx, Master, Benediction, Autopsy, Bolt Thrower, Celtic Frost and Massacre.
Belgian mince kings AGATHOCLES return with a brand new 2016 studio album in their plus 30-years period of musical and rock star destruction. 35 raw, nihilistic, short mincecore songs in 34 minutes.

Born in Adelaide, Australia - and now split across two of it?s capital cities with members residing in Melbourne; ALTARS create a vitriolic sort of Death Metal, convolved and disturbed, reminiscent of some of their Australian counterparts.
Their debut album is curated by the minds of Cale Schmidt, Lewis Fischer and Alan Cadman; in which this three piece delivers a sophisticated, suffocating, and almost supernatural sound. Cadman?s drums are intense & frenetic, drifting to and nether the deepest recesses of Paramnesia.
This is the second full-length release from Anael, a German band playing atmospheric black metal. The sound on this album reminds me of Greek greats like Necromantia -- crisp and clear, yet heavily atmospheric. The vocals are mostly snarled, though there's some clean singing now and again, very tastefully done. Anael's last album was full-on Samael worship, but on this record they've branched out into a sound of their own. There's still plenty of Samael in their slow, deliberate pacing and evil riffing, but there's a lot more variety here.
Contorted and anguished. Blissed-out and serene. Spasmodic impulses forcing irregular lurches and twitches. There are infinite shades and varieties of death, and yet its certainty and mystery terrify the human soul to its core. Anatomia breathes in the foul stench produced by this final state of human existence and spews it back at the listener. The band?s Death Doom sound captures perfectly the cold immobile grip of mortal expiration.
ANATOMIA comes with brand new song recorded in 2016. Crushing death metal/doom heavily influenced by AUTOPSY, NECROPHAGIA, INCANTATION, DERKETA, DISEMBOWELMENT, COFFINS.
SURGIKILL from Ohio/Kentucky with Stevo from legendary IMPETIGO and current members of CRUCIFIED MORTALS, FAITHXTRACTOR, SHED THE SKIN, WOODEN STAKE etc bring forth one new song full of horror and gore-filled death metal in the vein of IMPETIGO, AUTOPSY, INCANTATION, TERRORIZER!

Spain's BALMOG have been creating horrifying Black Metal since 2003, and this is their third album. You´ll get complex but ?Vacvvm? is what you would want to hear from a black metal album.
