Death Metal – Metal Eclipse Reviews

Dysgnostic – End Whispers

Metalcatto

Not to brag, but I actually have Dysgnostic‘s previous album, Scar Echoes, which is why I have extra preparation for End Whispers. How to describe these guys? Sure, they’re a Disso-Death band, and Denmark doesn’t have many of those—it’s a small and flat place—but the band has always approached the style differently. There’s no rush, let’s put it that way. Whether it’s a brutal blast or a low-pressure section, Dysgnostic can put you in a stretcher with ease. But you’re here to know if the album is worth your money, so let’s start.

Arise From Worms – A Bleeding Tree Hanging Self Destruction

thechopstickdrummer

A Bleeding Tree Hanging Self Destruction is a long, almost nonsensical name for an album, but Arise From Worms is a trio built on extravagant displays. Their supergroup foundation is not one to be messed with under any circumstances: Sonny Lombardozzi of Fleshtized tackles guitars and bass, Steve Tucker of Tampa’s own Morbid Angel handles vocals, Derek Sherinian tickles the electronic ivories, and Cryptopsy’s Flo Mournier mounts the drum kit. This trio founded Arise From Worms in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, but only recently have they set their malicious technical sights on a full-length endeavor. And what an endeavor it was…

Amazing Albums! Nobody talks about…

Today, I feel like trying something different. I’m going to expand on our latest IG post and see if that does any good. As a reviewer, you get to hear many hidden jewels that nobody cares about. Maybe because the algorithm isn’t pushing them down your throat on every reel or short. But I’m here to try to do some justice in this indifferent world.

Ripper – Towards Rebirth

Metalcatto

Sometimes I wonder why we don’t have more Death/Thrash bands. It makes sense—why wouldn’t you mix chocolate with cream? It’s the killer combo. But then I realized: finding the balance between those two is freaking hard. Ripper is more Death than Thrash, or so a superficial listen will lead you to believe. However, we’re not here to only make fart jokes and laugh at our penniless existence. We’re also giving Towards Rebirth a deeper dive.

Rigor Sardonicous -Diatriba Deorum

Metalcatto

When I think of Meuse Records, I think of sad puppy Death/Doom with clean production. However, Rigorous Sardonicus truly defies the stereotypes, because Diatriba Deorum is just nasty work that feels like it came out of Finland in 1993. I was surprised by the band’s obscene proposal, but that’s not all it had to offer. We need more than slow riffs to be truly impressed at this point, don’t you think?

In Vespro – Where Silence Used To Sleep

Metalcatto

It’s almost summer here up north. It’s sunny, warm, and beautiful. What better way to ruin all of that than by listening to some soul-crushing and godless Death and Doom Metal from the pit? In Vespro is dropping this album named Where Silence Used To Sleep, which obviously isn’t going to be about riding into the sunset with all your friends and family singing happy songs. It’s going to make you go back to therapy—or that’s what I hope for. But you know how it is with the mellow stuff. Hit or miss.
