RELEASE YEAR: 2024BAND URL: https://godzovwarproductions.bandcamp.com/album/enthrone-death The latest death metal bombardment by the Polish tormentors Soulcarrion picks up where last year’s self-titled EP left off. What we have here is savage and vile death metal that is surprisingly catchy given the raw, chaotic, and oftentimes dissonant nature of the material, and “morbid metal” seems like a…
RELEASE YEAR: 2024BAND URL: https://godzovwarproductions.bandcamp.com/album/wi-ta-krew A brutal and relentlessly aggressive barrage of pulverizing death metal awaits all who dare enter the twisted sphere of this unholy act. The ugly beauty of this ten-track is that Sacrofuck deliver enough jackhammer riffs and spiteful vocals to turn your face into oatmeal, and there is no let up…
RELEASE YEAR: 2024BAND URL: https://godzovwarproductions.bandcamp.com/album/raining-vomit This blistering and maniacal output by the Polish one-man outfit known as Drunk Thrasher is exactly what the mood called for today. Intense, fast-paced, and utterly evil-sounding, this is raw thrash/speed metal from the underground designed to break your neck and strangle you to death. The vocals are caustic and…
RELEASE YEAR: 2023 BAND URL: https://godzovwarproductions.bandcamp.com/album/tetrahedra Not knowing quite what to expect from this visually intriguing album sporting a painting by Henri Martin as its cover artwork, I was pleasantly surprised by it morose mixture of catchy black metal, goth rock, and industrial music. La Mer sounds different to pretty much everything else out there and…
RELEASE YEAR: 2023 BAND URL: https://godzovwarproductions.bandcamp.com/album/ziemie-ja-owe Godz ov War Productions have an uncanny talent for unearthing some of the best and most interesting black/death/speed/thrash metal acts and albums the underground has to offer, and this five-song collection by the darkly engrossing Polish band known as Zmarłym fits into the label’s impressive roster rather splendidly. Exploding right…
RELEASE YEAR: 2023 BAND URL: https://godzovwarproductions.bandcamp.com/album/ceremonial-blood-worship What we have here is filthy and rotten death metal from Italy courtesy of the ugly quartet known as Morbid Sacrifice, and this short and pulverizing record of theirs is undoubtedly one of the catchiest outputs that I have come across lately. Efficiency is clearly something that these guys are…
RELEASE YEAR: 2023BAND URL: https://godzovwarproductions.bandcamp.com/album/na-zawsze-cieniem What a terrifically brooding and majestic opus this is! The Polish ensemble known as Absque Cor offers atmospheric black metal with variety and plenty of interesting shifts and moods to it, and there is a bleak, windswept beauty to its six lengthy compositions that immediately stands out and grabs the…
RELEASE YEAR: 2023 BAND URL: https://godzovwarproductions.bandcamp.com/album/dominion-of-suffering-phobonoid Fucking hell, this is some delightfully intense, unsettling, and interesting stuff courtesy of Dominion of Suffering (Slovakia) and Phobonoid (Italy). While the former serves up claustrophobic, fast-paced, and somewhat deranged black metal that recalls certain French Orthodox BM outfits, Phobonoid is a far trippier and more surreal listen and one…
RELEASE YEAR: 2023 BAND URL: https://godzovwarproductions.bandcamp.com/album/sacrum-funeral What we have here is a six-track album by the Polish horde named Cultum Interitum that dabbles in murky and unpleasant black metal with a charcoal-stained mood and a grimy vibe to it. The sound is so frigging pitch-black that I am absolutely positive they recorded this sinister musical curse…
RELEASE YEAR: 2023 BAND URL: https://godzovwarproductions.bandcamp.com/album/inn-of-the-vaticide This is my first encounter with the infernal black metal trio from the US known as Black Eucharist, and I must say that I am utterly pleased with this crushing slab of musical unholiness that they have vomited forth. For one thing, efficiency and catchiness seem to be the order…
RELEASE YEAR: 2023BAND URL: https://godzovwarproductions.bandcamp.com/album/utter-human-annihilation By Odin, this is fucking intense and hateful stuff. Misanthropic War’s take on black/death metal is of the most violent and destructive kind, and listening to Utter Human Annihilation and its thirteen hyper-aggressive tracks is akin to having one’s face torn right off. Everything is there in the title of…
RELEASE YEAR: 2023BAND URL: https://godzovwarproductions.bandcamp.com/album/blood-oaths The American black metal combo known as Vein specializes in raw, claustrophobic, and downright oppressive music of the most loathsome and sinister kind. These twisted fucks manage to weave a thick and nasty atmosphere together by means of simple yet efficiently dark riffs, sick effects, and demented vocals, and the…
RELEASE YEAR: 2023 BAND URL: https://godzovwarproductions.bandcamp.com/album/traumatic-putrefaction What a gloriously disgusting and most brilliant of things this slime-soaked opus by the Polish horde known as Abominated is. Rooted in old-school death metal of the most vicious and catchy kind, this half-hour journey into horror-filled territory where crushing riffs, morbid vibes, and punishing vocals reign supreme is an…
RELEASE YEAR: 2023 BAND URL: https://godzovwarproductions.bandcamp.com/album/beneath-the-darkness This is my first encounter with this unholy Juggernaut from Portugal, and I must say that I am well and truly impressed with their work. Unnerving and vigorous death metal with a menacing aura and a dissonant edge to it is what you get here, and Beneath the Darkness is…
RELEASE YEAR: 2023 BAND URL: https://godzovwarproductions.bandcamp.com/album/soulcarrion The Polish death metal squadron Soulcarrion impressed me greatly by means of the rotten and highly efficient Infernal Agony full-length assault last year, and this short and lethal 4-track EP basically offers more of the same, which means that you get a batch of killer tunes that evoke the spirit…
RELEASE YEAR: 2022 BAND URL: https://godzovwarproductions.bandcamp.com/album/bestial-damnation Godz ov War Productions rarely fail to impress or amaze me when it comes to unearthing and releasing some of the most menacing and aggressive gems that the metal underground has to offer, and the Polish outfit named Hexenaltar fits rather neatly into the label’s quality roster. Rooted in 80s…
RELEASE YEAR: 2022 BAND URL: https://godzovwarproductions.bandcamp.com/album/czarne-wizje This fierce and vicious assault on the senses by the Polish artillery known as Garota was a nice surprise to these ears in that I have never come across their name earlier on nor did I know what to expect when I pressed play. Highly aggressive to the point of…
RELEASE YEAR: 2022 BAND URL: https://godzovwarproductions.bandcamp.com/album/ancient-woods The album artwork and overall presentation of this great looking digipak immediately caught my eye and seemed intriguing. It is therefore with a profound sense of satisfaction that I can tell you, my freaky underground friends, that this American outfit delivers a potent and effective slab of crushing death metal…
RELEASE YEAR: 2022 BAND URL: https://godzovwarproductions.bandcamp.com/album/nie A deeply unsettling and inhumanly raw slab of noise-infused black metal is what this sinister Polish horde offers. Hypnotic and trance-inducing are certainly words that come to mind when immersing oneself in these hellish and oppressive soundscapes, and everything about this musical endeavor reeks of misanthropy and contempt. Dark vocals…
RELEASE YEAR: 2022BAND URL: https://godzovwarproductions.bandcamp.com/album/diabolic-slaughter These Polish scumbags deal in face-melting thrash metal with blistering riffs, deadly solos that fly like bullets, and a pounding rhythm section capable of bashing your skull in. What immediately becomes apparent here is that these dudes are clearly quite capable of coming up with storming, aggressive metal with a…
