Only album from 1989 by Swiss outfit CALHOUN CONQUER, one of the strangest, most original and difficult-to-classify bands to emerge from the late-1980s European underground. “Lost in Oneself” takes Technical and Progressive Thrash Metal as its foundation but expands it into experimental, psychedelic and avant-garde territory, resulting in a release that was clearly ahead of its time.
Far removed from the usual Thrash Metal formulas of the era, the album combines angular riffs, unconventional song structures, unsettling atmospheres and a strong experimental spirit. Its innovative character has often been compared to the visionary approach of VOIVOD, while some of its compositional ideas seem to anticipate paths later explored by bands such as CORONER, ATHEIST and CYNIC. At the same time, its determination to break stylistic boundaries within extreme Metal echoes the artistic philosophy of CELTIC FROST. A true hidden gem of Progressive Thrash Metal that remains remarkably fresh and unique decades after its release. Interestingly, Spanish band ABSORBED later paid tribute to CALHOUN CONQUER by recording a cover version of one of its songs on the album “Reverie”.
Recommended for fans of CORONER, VOIVOD, JESTER BEAST and CELTIC FROST.
7th album from 1999 by the American CANNIBAL CORPSE, one of the most influential and long-running bands in the history of Death Metal. “Bloodthirst” finds the band at the height of its creative maturity, fully consolidating the George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher era and taking its trademark blend of brutality, speed and precision to one of its highest peaks.
With a powerful production and flawless execution, the album delivers a devastating combination of crushing riffs, relentless rhythms and constant aggression that helped establish CANNIBAL CORPSE as an absolute benchmark of Death Metal worldwide. Regarded by many fans as one of the strongest and most representative releases in the band's extensive discography.
Recommended for fans of MALEVOLENT CREATION, MONSTROSITY, DEICIDE and SUFFOCATION.

Compilation released in 2020 by the Japanese COFFINS, one of the most respected bands in contemporary Doom/Death Metal. “March of Despair / Craving to Eternal Slumber” gathers two long out-of-print EPs originally released in 2012 and 2015, supplemented with several bonus tracks to offer more than 75 minutes of the band's trademark crushing sound.
The release includes the complete “March of Despair” and “Craving to Eternal Slumber” EPs, showcasing COFFINS at one of the strongest points of their career. Their sound combines the rawness of Old School Death Metal with the suffocating heaviness of Doom Metal, creating a dark, rotten and utterly devastating atmosphere that has become one of the hallmarks of the Japanese extreme Metal scene.

9th album from 2025 by the American DRAWN AND QUARTERED, one of the most consistent and respected bands in the U.S. Death Metal underground. “Lord of Two Horns” continues the band's legacy with a devastating display of dark, brutal and merciless Old School Death Metal, remaining faithful to the genre's most extreme roots after more than three decades of activity.
Across eight tracks, the band unleashes an onslaught of ferocious riffs, relentless rhythms and sinister atmospheres, combining the brutality of 1990s American Death Metal with precise execution and unwavering intensity. A compact, direct and crushing release that once again demonstrates why DRAWN AND QUARTERED remains an essential reference within the darkest and most traditional side of Death Metal.
