The Lurking Fear: Out Of The Voiceless Grave

THE LURKING FEAR 

OUT OF THE VOICELESS GRAVE

   Out Of The Voiceless Grave is grim, gritty, dark, dirty and could easily have been released in the early 1990's golden era of old-school Death Metal. Steeped in all of the essential musical elements, and powered by an impressive line-up which features members of genre titans, At The Gates and God Macabre, The Lurking Fear know how to make Death Metal, and they do it very, very well. 
   Although super groups and side projects seem to come in droves within the extreme music world, The Lurking Fear definitely have an undeniable charm and attraction, rooted in the uncomplicated, very traditional style of old-school Death Metal that they are delivering. In traditional style, the album begins with an atmospheric, ominous introduction, before surging into "Vortex Spawn", a whirlwind of old-school, packing riff work that would have felt right at home on Slayer's seminal album, Hell Awaits. 
   "The Starving Gods Of Old" follows on with chugging, galloping riffs, which leads into a blistering, fret board assaulting solo, drenched in classic Death Metal charm. "The Infernal Dread" has a melodic Death Metal edge, with heavy atmospheric gloom and chilling riffs. Elsewhere on the album, "With Death Engraved In Their Bones" says it all in the title, with undeniable Autopsy worshiping rhythms surrounded by merciless speed and many a headbang worthy riff. The soundscapes are in full effect on "Teeth Of The Dark Plains", bringing the chills right to your spine, while Tomas Lindberg lays down a astonishing, harrowing vocal performance. Closing the album in, Seasons In The Abyss style, "Beneath Menacing Sands" delivers a fantastic tribute to all things Death Metal, armed with grim doom paced sections, thrilling instrumentals, pounding drums, thumping bass and Entombed-esque riffs, this is a song for the old-school faithfuls. 
   All in all, Out Of The Voiceless Grave is a streamlined tour of Death Metal, produced by musicians who are more than qualified for the role. The resulting product is an all thriller affair that will satisfy the needs of any fan of old school Death Metal.

No Nonsense Metal: Top 10 Albums Of 2013!

No Nonsense Metal  Top 10 Albums Of 2013!    2013 has proven to be a monumental year for extreme music. We have witnessed the return of some of the greatest pioneering acts Metal music has ever seen, as well as a succession of future legends solidifying their place within our realms. It is fair to say that 2013 holds some of the best Metal releases of all time, but within it also resides some of the most spectacular misfires ever to insult mortal eardrums. Focusing on the positive aspects of the years releases, here is a round up of 10 albums that 2013 shall truly be remembered for. Undoubtedly, this list of albums will (and should) be fairly predictable, reminding you of the incredible strides extreme music has made within the last year. However, it should also highlight just how much can change within a 365 day stretch, and just how much Metal music can terraform within that time. So lets hope 2014 lives up to the achievements of 2013. Bring on the...

BEAST IN BLACK: DARK CONNECTION

  BEAST IN BLACK:  DARK CONNECTION     Bombastic, heavy, wild and fun, Dark Connection is everything that any obliging listener can expect to hear from Finnish whippersnappers Beast In Black.      Saturated with synths, electronics and plenty of twiddling guitars, the album has a very European (or more specifically Scandinavian) Pop vibe, more prevalent here than on Beast In Black's previous efforts. That said, there is no shortage of cracking riffs, slamming drums and impressive vocals.     Kicking off in dramatic fashion, " Blade Runner " offers up an seizure inducing blur of riffs and crazed keys. Sounding like a disco injected Judas Priest, " Bella Donna " is bizzare yet undeniably infectious and catchy. With a great sing-along chorus, crunchy Metallic riffs and an abundance of synths and keys, " Highway To Mars " is another groovy staple. Offering a little more heaviness, " Hardcore " pounds and thunders along like a softer Sab...
