Six Feet Under: Crypt Of The Devil

Six Feet Under 
Crypt Of The Devil
  If you know anything about Six Feet Under, then you probably already know what you are getting with Crypt Of The Devil. This album is the embodiment of Death-Metal done the right way. It's extreme, packed with melodic riffs, gruesome lyrics and Chris Barnes iconic vocal mastery, and is without a doubt Six Feet Under's most consistent and brilliant album to date.
   For the eleventh full length studio album, Chris Barnes enlisted seasoned Metal expects; Phil Hall, Josh Hall and Brandon Ellis, known for their incredible Weed-themed Death-Metal band, Cannabis Corpse. The resulting album is something very special. Crypt Of The Devil is a genuinely enjoyable listen, from start to finish there is nothing but excellent musicianship and neck-cracking brutality. 
   Chris Barnes is no stranger to Death-growling vocals, but Crypt Of the Devil shows this pioneering man on top form. From staple cuts like "Gruesome" and "Stab", to melodic monoliths and chant worthy tracks "Open Coffin Orgy" and "The Night Bleeds", Chris' surprising clarity and guttural roars are nothing short of astounding. Musically, there is no surprising deviation from the old-school sound, and despite being the musicians first outing with Six Feet Under, they craft and maintain the bands iconic sound perfectly. 
   Overall, this is an album with a fresh and revitalising sound unlike anything Six Feet Under has previously produced. The production is clean and polished, but the songs themselves are more excellently grotesque and raw than any fan could ever ask for.

    This isn't SFU, it's Cannibas Corpse with Chris Barnes. Don't pay for this. Go get it for free.

    Here's some no nonsense for ya. This album is about as hard as a bag full of limp dicks.Chris Barnes would have been better off making this a side project, but he is obviously trying to make a buck off the SFU name. With something that sounds nothing like Six feet Under. If your a fan, like me, or should I say was?, this album takes a shit in your ears. Steve Swanson should get in another band. Glad I didn't pay for this piece of garbage. Satans gotta be pissed, SFU put his name on this dirt that's been fucked by a hobo, which is what the name of the album should have been. I haven't been this disappointed in an album in while. I've listened to the two new SLaYER tracks, so I'm prepared for it to be shit.With SFU, they give you Open Coffin Orgy, wich resembles SFU, to trick you into thinking your getting a SFU album, but that's all you get.

      Take your hate, and stick it up your ass. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean other's won't. I'm proud to have purchased this record, and I recommend it to anyone that's a fan of SFU.

EXODUS: PERSONA NON GRATA

  EXODUS: PERSONA NON GRATA         The Thrash Metal hierarchy has long been constructed around the mainstream success of the American "Big Four", dwarfing their peers outside of the clique with their mass popularity and stratospheric record sales. Thanks to bands such as Exodus, Testament and Overkill, a revolution has begun. The most recent releases from those bands comprising the Big Four have been good at best, while the latest albums from these previously mentioned outsiders have been breathtakingly excellent.    Persona Non Grata is a crushingly heavy slab of solid Thrash Metal. Gary Holt and fellow guitarist Lee Altus whip up a veritable storm of crunchy, Thrashing, whiplash-inducing riffs from start to finish. A superhuman barrage of drum battery is unleashed by Tom Hunting, accompanied by Jack Gibson's booming, thundering and raking bass notes. All the while Steve Souza sings, screams and snarls like a rabid and possessed vocal maestro....

MASSACRE: RESURGENCE

  MASSACRE: RESURGENCE      Like the walking dead, Massacre just keep coming back time after time. Refusing to stay down, this band simply won't die. To survive, Massacre takes on a new form every ascension, this time they have re-emerged as the Kam Lee band, with the legendary vocalist being the most consistent and regular member of the band over the years and through the numerous reformations.   The Massacre that we are faced with here on Resurgence could be considered as something of a Death-Metal supergroup. Comprising the band alongside Kam Lee; we have Mike Borders on bass guitar whom was previously a member of the band for short spell in the mid 1980's, alongside Jonny Pettersson of Wombbath (and countless other bands and projects) and Rogga Johansson of Paganizer (and possibly even more bands and projects than Jonny) on guitars, Brynjar Helgetun on drums, and Memoriam's resident riff-lord Scott Fairfax providing lead guitar. United this band of talented ...

NO NONSENSE METAL REVIEWS: THE TOP 10 ALBUMS OF 2021

  NO NONSENSE METAL REVIEWS: THE TOP 10 ALBUMS OF 2021     Despite lockdowns, travel restrictions and the cancellation of normality as a result of an ever present global pandemic, 2021 has been a very healthy year for heavy music. With the cancellation and indefinite postponement of tours, festivals and live music in general, bands and artists have been forced to explore alternative avenues and express their artistic visions and passions in other ways. The down time away from the road has left bands with schedules empty enough to write and record new material, some of which has proven to be exceptionally strong new albums, EPs and compilations. The phenomena of the "lockdown live album" as well as live streaming events and virtual concerts have also become a commonplace staple in many band's discography, showing defiantly that COVID-19 and the consequent restrictions enforced will never suffocate the breath of creativity or shroud the light of the soul. Making the be...
