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.

RELEASE YEAR: 2022 BAND URL: https://godzovwarproductions.bandcamp.com/album/gwiezdny-demon Fuck yeah, another record by this Polish act is always a most welcome addition to the review pile.
