The twatting about went something like this: 1989-1992 (as Festerday), 1992 (as Cardinal), 1992-1993 (as Peacefrog), 1993-1994 (as Raw Energy), 1995-2005 (as …and Oceans), 2005-2013 (as Havoc Unit), which brings us neatly back to bloody Festerday once again!įortunately, settling the fuck down has worked in Festerday’s (or whatever their name is) favour as by knuckling down, and dragging those knuckles across the gravel, they’ve fashioned an old school Finnish death metal release of distinct quality. Ironically, Festerday’s history is as convoluted as their music isn’t, with numerous name changes derailing any continuity over the past 3(!) decades.

This first proper full-length (s)platter package is nothing less than wretched repugnant Finnish death metal built on the foundations laid down by Carcass, Entombed and Grave etc all those years ago. One thing is for sure, the boys are back in techy town! Festerday – iihtallanį esterday dragged their grisly gore-obsessed death metal kicking and screaming (and chainsaw-guitaring) into this century with their new, and what is ostensibly their debut, album iihtallan. Technical to the point of absurdity and ‘widdly’ to the point of madness, these Japanese nut-jobs make Rings Of Saturn sound like Jungle Rot and will relentlessly and remorsefully shit on your ravaged synapses with track after track of mind-blowing savage technicality. Released: January 25th via Willowtip RecordsĪbsolutely bat-shit crazy is the only succinct way to describe the material found on Descravity‘s Anathema.

Waiting until the time is right to unleash its unholy roar. This is the sound of the thing that lurks in the dark. The Approaching Roar is frightening, it’s unnerving, it’s incalculable evil in noise form….an experience endured rather than enjoyed but utterly captivating nonetheless! Altatrage – The Approaching RoarĪ droning dive into the charred heart of the Beast itself, Altarage’s blackened death metal still has no equal and is the sound of pure hell brought to life!īestial growls and shrieks engulf the senses within Altarage’s suffocating sarcophagus of dense riffs and one listen probably means your soul has already been sold to the horned one. Now you won’t have to, as here lies Worship Metal’s pick of the 10 death metal albums you simply had to hear in January 2019…. Death metal is currently in very rude health and you wouldn’t want to miss out on a future classic now, would ya?!
