Rating    : At the end

Not sure if I’ve mentioned it before, but I’m not exactly well-versed in the world of death or black metal. It’s only recently that I’ve started opening my ears to this chaotic and energetic form of art. The deeper I dive into it, the more gold I find – this is where the algorithm finally does something right.

As someone who’s long loved heavy metal and metalcore, I have to say that death and black metal give me something more. More emotion, more desperation, more hate – more truth, really. But this isn’t about my relationship with genres. This is about Angerot and their latest release.

Angerot is a death metal band from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, USA, formed in 2017. The band was started by vocalist and guitarist C.R. Petit, known from previous projects like Suffer. Alongside him are lead guitarist Jason Ellsworth and bassist Bill Zaugg. The drummer role has varied over the years, and Angerot has worked with several musicians both live and in the studio.

Musically, Angerot is rooted in the Swedish old-school death metal tradition, clearly inspired by bands like Entombed, Dismember, and Bloodbath. They also blend in black and doom elements to create a dark and atmospheric whole. The sound is riff-heavy and driven by the signature roar of the HM-2 pedal, combined with modern production and occult overtones in both lyrics and mood.

Their lyrical universe often revolves around death, faith, decay, and corruption. Visually, the band has established a dark and detailed identity. Since their inception, Angerot has upheld the legacy of ‘90s death metal while continuously evolving their sound.

With Seofon, Angerot delivers a no-compromise and rock-solid album full of precision, power, and a darkened atmosphere. The sound is laser-tight and driven by HM-2 riff work, with a blackened edge reminiscent of Behemoth. The guitar work is both brutal and refined, offering insane riffs and well-executed solos. The vocals are steady, powerful, and commanding.

Seofon features seven tracks, each with a different guest drummer – including Kevin Paradis, Derek Roddy, and Daray Brzozowski. Each one puts their personal stamp on the music, yet the album remains cohesive. The title Seofon is Old English for “seven,” referencing both the album’s structure and its esoteric undertones.

Songs like “Rapture ov All That Is”, “We Are the Serpents & the Saints”, and “With No Eyes I See” stand out in particular.

This is an album that doesn’t compromise. With Seofon, Angerot proves they belong at the top tier of modern death metal – delivering weight, skill, and a strong artistic vision.


Rating : 8/10

 Zero Gravity - My Jeffrey Dahmer I recently received a very friendly request from the band Zero Gravity to review their latest single, and I was happy to give it a listen. From Innsbruck, Tyrol, Zero Gravity is a band that thrives on unpredictability. Formed by Dionys Dorner (vocals, guitar) and Daniel Berger (drums) in their teens, and joined by Christian Hubmann (bass, vocals), the trio has carved out a path defined by bold experimentation and a refusal to be boxed into a single genre. Their music blends punk, rock ‘n’ roll, grunge, and now gothic and metalcore elements, with a recurring “broken glam” aesthetic — raw, chaotic, yet undeniably engaging. Their latest single, “My Jeffrey Dahmer” , is a provocative, ironic take on love songs, using a shocking metaphor to explore romantic failure with absurdist and nihilist undertones. The track carries a bitter sense of humor, with chaotic shifts in tone and energy that mirror the tension of its lyrical themes. Dionys’s vocals, at t...

For Ruin - Painted in colours of War

 My review on For Ruin - Painted in the colours of War Release : January 29th , 2026 Origin      : Cork , Ireland  Label      : Sentinel Records  Rating     : At The End Painted in the colours of War Painted In The Colours Of War is an album defined by atmosphere. From the very start , the mood is dark, heavy, and emotionally. This is not a record that rushes to impress,instead, it builds patiently , layer by layer, allowing tension and weight to accumulate before it finally releases. And when it does, it hits HARD . Musically, the album sits firmly within melodic blackened death metal . The guitars balance heaviness and melody well, creating riffs that feel both aggressive and expressive rather than purely technical. The drums are powerful and well-placed, giving the music a strong sense of drive without overwhelming the rest of the instrumentation. Everything feels intentional and controlled, yet never sterile. One of the key...

Victim - Nuclear Nightmare

 My Review on Victim - Nuclear Nightmare Release : December 6th , 2025 Origin     : Weimar , Germany Label      : Independent Rating    : At The End A blast of old-school thrash, raw energy, and unfiltered aggression. Nuclear Nightmare opens deceptively calm , a slow, brooding intro that lingers just long enough for you to wonder where it’s going, and then it detonates. The moment the drums hit, you’re thrown straight back into the era when thrash was dangerous, uncompromising, and bursting with youthful aggression. It feels like having an entire rehearsal room hurled at your face , in the best possible way. From the very start, Victim prove why the underground has been buzzing. The band delivers a blend of classic thrash, raw crossover energy, and subtle hints of hard rock and grunge. At times you hear Slayer. Other moments? Metallica. And occasionally a flash of early Sodom. These guys aren’t hiding their influences , they’re weaponizing...
