Veterans Runemagick seem very energized for such a long-running band. Certainly worth checking out if you’re into technical death metal. This new one has some of the old flair back. Psycroptic’s last few albums haven’t pleased me at all. Read my review to learn more what I think about it! “Spiritual Apocalypse” was one hell of a death metal album and “The Passage of Existence does its best to follow suit. Technical, brutal and packed with solid riffs. It’s death metal at its most generic, but I still couldn’t help nodding my head along to most of the songs.Īnother quality release from this underrated Greek death metal band. This one is another piece of decent death metal in the same style Jungle Rot has always played. Jungle Rot’s self-titled album is the American version of meat and potatoes. Worth checking out for fans of those two bands. I found it another solid album of dark Immolation/Incantation-influenced death metal. This has a strong Dismember influence and some very catchy hooks. Meat and potates Swedish death metal for sure, but meat and potatoes can be good. It’s definitely due to the songwriting style the songs are short, aggressive as hell and right to the point. The debut album is not as fantastic as 2010 EP “Rituals of The Grotesque”, but it’s still a solid death metal album.ĭeicide’s new album is surprisingly good. I’m not super impressed by the new song “Bloodicide”, but I bet Bloodbath’s album will be good enough to get on here anyway once it comes out on October 26th.Īnother masterclass in dark Turkish death metal. Fairly unoriginal but the riffs, hooks and guitar tune makes it worthwhile.

Not my favorite style, but it’s quality death metal none the less.Ī very entertaining dose of Danish old school death metal. Read my “TerrorVision” review to learn more about the album.Īpocalyptic and murky in the vein of Incantation and Dead Congregation. It can’t compete with the original Abhorrence, but it’s still highly enjoyable.Īborted’s new album “TerrorVision” is on par, and certainly something fans of the band will enjoy. This EP has the same bizarre guitar combos that made “Caught in a Vortex” and “Vulgar Necrolatry” underground death metal classics. I have to say that Abhorrence nails it though. These type of comebacks rarely do it for me. If you don’t have time to check out all these death metal bands, at least hit up these mandatory releases:Ībhorrence – Megalohydrothalassophobic (EP) Don’t miss the death/doom from 2018 post if you’re looking for death metal music in the slower variety!

Please comment if I’ve missed out on any cool albums. 2018 hasn’t been the best year for death metal, but some fairly solid stuff has still gotten out. My death metal from 2017 post got some solid attention, so I figured I’d start a blog post for this year’s output as well.
