(review) Corpsegrinder – Corpsegrinder

Leave a comment

Cannibal Corpse are death metal legends and an institution delivering their gore blood soaked death metal for more than thirty years. Their singer George Corpsegrinder Fisher released this solo opus full length and it is a blast. These ten songs of horror are not far from what he does with his main band, but this one, besides death metal blast beats and sharp riffs with fast solos, also offers some hardcore influences, almost horror punk riffs masked in the rear of death metal, also some thrash old school influences. Corpsegrinder´s voice is one of the most recognizable and mightiest in the death metal scene and he growls and screams with ease through horror lyrics and you can understand what he is singing about, with songs like Acid Vat, Devourer of Souls and Master Of The Longest Night flying the flag of Florida American death metal high and being sight for wanton ears of many death metal fiend out there. Good one.

Swedish Gothenburg-based melodic death metal band Sailor Hunter is set to release their new self titled EP on May 19th 2022 via Finnish record label Inverse Records. The first single Scarred is released today and music video can be seen here: https://youtu.be/oLK7PNp-zCw

Singer Stellan Berndtsson comments the single:
“To see what’s left of a person’s body after the end in the most violent way. When the remains are put in a black trash bag and to relive it in your dreams forever. That’s your mind that is scarred.

You notice on the music video even if we´re just playing as a band, it actually portrays what you see on the color grading and the fast movements or “happenings” are about when the mind get scarred . It’s a kind of a shadow or mark that remains in your mind forever after being shocked about something that ended violently.”

DESERT NEAR THE END announces new album ‘The Dawning of the Son’ by Boersma Records (Germany)!

Leave a comment

Desert Near the End return with their fifth album and they are pleased to announce their collaboration with Boersma Records (Germany)! 

“The Dawning of the Son” is set for release on May 27 of 2022! 

As the time of the pandemic seems to be at its end, Desert Near the End used this two year break as an opportunity to be creative. Delivering the direct successor of their previous endeavour, “of Fire and Stars”! 

This time they managed to balance the aggression with melody reaching to an outcome that feels more “Desert Near the End” than ever before. Influences have been tamed and a more personal sound has risen, revealing a path across the Desert more clear than ever before!  

Lyrically is based on the first trilogy of “The Red Rising Saga” by Pierce Brown who offered great inspiration and food for thought to the band.  

The album was recorded and mixed once again at the Incorporated M. Studios and was engineered by Vassilis Pappas. 

The beautiful cover artwork is signed by Panagiotis Vlamis, also the creator of the “Theater of War” artwork. 

Giannis Nakos and Remedy Art Design put everything in place once more creating a fantastic booklet. 

“Rise for Dominion”, the second track of the new album is set to be released as a single on April 22!
