Famine elects not to appropriate the art of people he hates this time, returning to the traditional KPN affair of melancholic, folk-y post-punk with a black metal veneer. His human trash status hasn't diminished his ability to write a melody, or rope them together into an affecting arrangement. Listen and enjoy, but don't buy. |

Karmacipher Introspectrum | 3.5 |
A very, very good album that was unfortunately released just one week after arguably the best album by Karmacipher's most prominent influence. Thus it's almost impossible not to compare "Introspectrum" with Ulcerate's work, noting its weaknesses but having to place huge emphasis on their relativity. While they might lack the melodic and directional focus of their idols, Karmacipher have nevertheless produced an impressive slab of disso-death that, if released a few months either side of last week, would've made for a much more enthusiastic listen. |

done together, but well worth hearing if you're after his own, unique brand of aural filth
distilled into a 20-minute EP. |

I really wanted to like this but, once again, Obscura muster up something that is eclipsed in multiple ways by the works of First Fragment, Archspire and Spawn of Possession. It's neither as distinguished as the former, as technical or well-composed as the latter, nor as fun as the middlemen. Diluvium is another technically-adept though lifeless album from a band that is in a constant existential crisis - a problem seemingly borne out of lineup changes made in the pursuit of virtuosity over chemistry. |

Abigor Höllenzwang - Chronicles Of Perdition | 4.0 |
Probably my favourite album so far this year. The band throws so many ideas at each track that they should all collapse under the weight of the band's ambitions, but somehow they manage to sculpt fluid, engaging compositions from the hodgepodge of ideas. The production is perfect. Every instrument is clear (even the bass) without sounding even the slightest bit overproduced, retaining the viscera you'd expect from a black metal record. Abigor utilise their technical chops in droves while shirking ostentation--and then there's the vocals, holy shit. Hear this. |

Sorry y'all but I just didn't find this particularly stirring, even if that makes me sound like a heartless bastard. I understand it's kind of the point, but the dejection he's conveying is so hammerfisted that I struggle to relate. I don't doubt his sincerity, but the stripped down aesthetics don't make for particularly engrossing listening; that and some of the creative decisions like the "ooh ohh"s on Girl in Amber feel a bit melodramatic. Good album but that's all, may bump one day but I dunno. |

Katalepsy Gravenous Hour | 2.0 |
Katalepsy completely erase what little slam was left on Autopsychosis and opt for a half-brutal/half-tech death approach typical of Unique Leader records. They haven't forgotten their way around a riff, but I get the impression they're overextending their song-writing capabilities in an attempt to be unpredictable. Some of the songs ("After Omega" in particular) are borderline nonsensical in terms of structure, and to cap it off the loud-as-fuck typewriter drums become very fatiguing around the halfway mark. Whether this is just a blip or a sign of things to come, consider me disappointed. |

Fallujah Dreamless | 2.5 |
Much easier on the ears than The Flesh Prevails, but as far as the songs themselves are concerned, something is missing. At nearly an hour long, it feels like the writing sessions for Dreamless were lacking in sufficient inspiration, as evidenced by the blatant recycling of ideas between "Abandon" and "Scar Queen", or the inclusion of the insipid "Les Silences". Lulls like these are juxtaposed with moments of genuine brilliance ("The Void Alone" and the title track immediately spring to mind) and overall it's a good album, but Dreamless isn't the revelation were we hoping for. |

I don't know why everyone is salivating over the production, it's pretty standard DI'd-to-infinity tech-death production with a complete absence of natural acoustics or any semblance of character. There are some sweet riffs here but they're few and far between, plus the guy's deathcore-ish vocals and the tendency to fall back on generic refrains like in "Sand Baptism" ruin it for me, oh well. |

like how that room would have smelled then it'll probably rule m/

An all-round improvement for a band that showed a lot of promise on their debut. While Swallowed By The Ocean's Tide gave off the impression of a band brimming with ideas but lacking the maturity to execute them without the odd hiccup, Gateway to The Antisphere sees Sulphur Aeon hit their creative stride with what is one of the best death metal albums of 2015 so far. |

Kerridge Always Offended Never Ashamed | 2.0 |
Having revisited this, it's grown off me rather dramatically. My main problem with it is the production; far too clean and sterile to affect once the apocalyptic mental picture wears thin. The percussion becomes incredibly intrusive, and the frequency clashing that comes with each thud simply highlights how artificial the whole thing sounds. Kerridge's vocals eventually become laughably cliche 'scary' too, so in the end you can't really take them or that album for that matter seriously. Potsy was right, this album sucks. Oh well, was fun while it lasted I guess. |

Deicide In the Minds of Evil | 2.0 |
Very pedestrian. The riffs themselves aren't bad but the poppy song structures and omnipresent, monotone vocals (and I mean seriously monotone; barely any variation in pitch or delivery) sap the album of any potential highlights. 36 minutes of deathpop. |

Possibly the whiniest clean vocal performance I've ever heard on a metal record. The instrumentation doesn't fare much better either, consisting of bland chugs glossed over rather haphazardly by pretty synthesisers. Suffers from the same disease as Born of Osiris' latest, lacking in any tangible atmosphere while nothing of substance supports the mundane electronics. Boring. |
