ALBUM REVIEW: Tetramorphe Impure – The Sunset Of Being

ALBUM REVIEW: Fleshspoil – The Beginning Of The End


Fleshspoil not only features the former drummer of Arsis but finds them attacking the Blackened Death Metal subgenre, with a catchier take than most.

It picks up closer to what “We Sing of Only Blood or Love” let off, though more sonically layered. His trademark croon sounds as good as ever. Continue reading
