Fleshgod Apocalypse, more than most modern death metal bands, is incredibly divisive - and there's good reason for it. Thie latest release, \"Agony\" is an essentially constant barrage. If it's not 280 BPM+ double kick, its blast beats; if it's not tremolo picking, it's... probably still tremolo picking, all slathered with a synth orchestra and a truly has-to-be-heard-to-be-believed combination of death metal growls and \"operatic\" vocals. It generates the feeling of being thrown in a washing machine with one boombox blasting a piano concerto and the other blasting \"Icon of Evil\".
Obscura are heading into their 20th year in 2022, and with six albums under their belt are now veterans of the technical death metal scene. What allows Obscura to stand apart from the crowd is the underlying melody that surges through their songs. The title track has a punishing tempo, and you find yourself humming the track ages after the album has finished.
Finnish frontrunners Wolfheart have proven themselves to be one of metal's most captivating acts of northern heritage and one of the fastest rising bands in the international melodic death metal scene. Over the course of the last two years alone, the band has remained relentless with the release of their highly acclaimed full-length, Wolves of Karelia (2020) and Skull Soldiers EP (2021), gaining massive praise from fans and press alike with their icy tales of battle and triumph. The new album, King of The North, picks up right where Wolfheart left off - taking every aspect of their trademark sound of colossal melodies, growling vocals and driving drum rhythms to searing new levels.
Thulcandra draw their sounds from the legendary early 90s Swedish scene summoning up a blistering mix of black metal and death metal groups like Dissection, Sacramentum, Unanimated, and Necrophobic, then twisting that raw savageness by utilising the melodic sounds and tones of legendary melo-death groups like Dark Tranquillity and At The Gates. This thunderous mix is chock full of exciting riffage, glacial atmospheres, catchy melodies, and venomous vocals
