Hollowed Idols released their new e.p. via Rotted Life and I listened to it and reviewed it for this webzine.
The quartet is hailing from Mississippi area and the guys play foul and dirty technical death metal but don´t be mistaken, this is not some amateur stuff, this is high class pumping U.S. death metal underground star that shines its dark light upon the scene. The record contains 4 songs from the e.p. and three demo version of that songs. The production is raw, murky but aggressive with blast beats, guttural vocals, some almost thrash metal guitar solo work and if I must compare this record to some bands, it would be early Incantation and similar U.S. death metal behemoths. I am not really fan of such metal, I prefer more melody and more drama and more style, but this is good record for the fans of underground death metal.
Founded in 2010., Supreme Carnage from Germany have been around on the scene for a while doing supreme shows and becoming a force to be counted on the European and world underground scene. This is their new album which I reviewed for this webzine.
The album contains 9 songs of awesome old school death metal which so few bands play today. This means old school European pumping death metal in the vein of early Entombed, Dismember, Gorefest and similar acts. The music is not blastbeats but fast and cutting aggressive riffs combined with brutal but understandable vocals and some nice underlined melodic guitar hooks in the song structures. I loved the anthemic chorus of the title song with nice melody underneath the brutality. Also, one of the highlights of the album for me is “The world is lost” being energetic, melodic and brutal at the same time. In all, this is a very good record, check this out and get this little death metal jewel!
