Necrosexual – Road to Rubble Review

Necrosexual – Road to Rubble Review

“It was a day like any other at the AMG water cooler when someone mentioned Necrosexual had a new album coming out. Ha, I ought to myself. I vaguely remembered reviewing the Philadelphia band’s Grim1 debut back in 2018, which I had slapped with a 1.5 due to its sloppy execution and lackluster production. Perhaps I expected too much from a band led by vocalist, guitarist, and bassist “The Necrosexual,” whose main claim to fame was doing interviews for Metal Injection and MetalSucks while clad in corpse paint. Let someone else take their new album, I thought to myself. I’m sure someone will get enticed by that band name. But week after week went by, and Road to Rubble sat in the promo bin.” Cold and hard.

Barbarian – Reek of God Review

Barbarian – Reek of God Review

“Sometime in the 2010s, I started disliking music with too many flourishes and began seeking out stuff that was more stripped-down, unpolished, and primitive. At this time, Barbarian were the perfect find. Depending on the album, this Italian trio has referred to themselves as “Regressive Metal,” “Absolute Metal,” or, in the case of their sixth album, Reek of God, “Retrogarde Metal” (typo and all). Led by vocalist and guitarist “Borys Crossburn,” their sound is essentially early Celtic Frost if they were fronted by a guitar-wielding grizzly bear who had a bizarre penchant for the occasional Running Wild-style melody.” Smells like God in here!

Terror Corpse – Ash Eclipses Flesh Review

Terror Corpse – Ash Eclipses Flesh Review

By Saunders on November 17, 2025 in Reviews, Death Metal, 19 comments

“Already boasting a killer debut EP to their name in 2025, courtesy of the sick, old school deathgrind mayhem comprising Systems of Apocalypse, Texan wrecking crew Terror Corpse hit the ground running in their short time together. The newly minted outfit come seasoned with underground cred, featuring members that have logged time in the likes of Malignant Altar, Oceans of Slumber, Necrofier and Insect Warfare. Recording the EP as a five-piece, debut full-length Ash Eclipses Flesh finds Terror Corpse stripping back to a trio and shifting tact musically” Death walking Texas Rangers.

An Tóramh – Echoes of Eternal Night Review

An Tóramh – Echoes of Eternal Night Review

By Steel Druhm on May 9, 2025 in Reviews, Doom Metal, 39 comments

“Coming off the titanic ass-whipping I received from atmo-doom upstarts Structure, I stumbled concussed and confuzzled right into a funeral doom bushwhacking by the unheralded Minneapolis-based two-man project, An Tóramh. Formed by members of Chalice of Suffering and Goatwitch, An Tóramh play brain-pulping funerary muzak draped in existential dread and gutwrenching despair, as all things should be.” Nice day for a night funeral.

Negative 13 – Recover What You Can Review

Negative 13 – Recover What You Can Review

By Dolphin Whisperer on February 11, 2025 in Reviews, Doom Metal, Hardcore, Sludge, Sludge Metal, 19 comments

“What is a second life but a life that has just gone on long enough to find multiple waves of success? Artists at all levels that we cover here at Angry Metal Guy HQ, often, deliver their albums to the world for the love of the game—not the glitz or glory. Negative 13, as a collective of friends, reignited their passion for the game to release 2022’s long-awaited Mourning Asteri, a satisfying sludge platter full of punky energy and melancholy. And this time, only three years later, Recover What You Can arrives in a timely and timelessly snarling manner, ready to show again how friends who suffer together come out all the stronger.” Positively negative.

Tyrannic – Tyrannic Desolation Review

Tyrannic – Tyrannic Desolation Review

By Mark Z. on November 22, 2024 in Reviews, Black Metal, Doom Metal, 24 comments

“No matter how far today’s bands push the envelope, no matter how weird or experimental or innovative modern music becomes, there will always be bands who look around and simply say: “Fuck that, give me Celtic Frost.” Australia’s Tyrannic is one such band. The trio’s founding member, vocalist, and drummer R. has readily admitted that Tom G. Warrior’s brainchild is his biggest influence, though the band’s music isn’t just another carbon copy of Morbid Tales. For the past decade, Tyrannic has been gaining attention for their strange combination of black and doom metal.”

Alkymist – UnnDerr Review

Alkymist – UnnDerr Review

By Steel Druhm on November 15, 2024 in Reviews, Doom Metal, 39 comments

“What kind of an album title is UnnDerr? A weird one to be sure and maybe not the best for marketing purposes. The oddballs in Danish doom/sludge/prog project Alkymist may not care about such trivial capitalistic concerns as they attempt to refine and retool their heady blend of genres. Back in the Age of the Great Plague, we reviewed their sophomore outing Sanctuary and the dearly sabbaticaled Akerblogger had many good things to say about their balance of extremity and progressive wanderings. 2024 finds them back with a more streamlined approach accentuating the brutality while stepping back from the more esoteric angles.” From lead to goat womit.
