Unspeakable Cults
Malefactor
Ensconced upon a festering throne, the would-be master of mankind has become only the lord of a legion of idiots, a rabble whose impotent meanderings are matched only by the tragicomedy of their pitiable degeneration. Ere long, the obscure master himself will devour all souls, molding them into a new Babel, where all will share his hideous tongue...
Tonight: the sounds of ancient glories, those things long gone, from Windir to Wardruna and Ereb Altor to Solstice.
Behold the Malefactor's unholy presence here.

Artist | Song | Album | Label | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|
Ereb Altor | Fire Meets Ice | Fire Meets Ice | Metal Blade | One of my standouts of 2013, the brand new album restores the small amount of faith I had lost in Ereb Altor from their (still strong) Gastrike album; Fire Meets Ice matches the lofty expectations I had developed since their amazing 2010 album The En |
Napalm Death | Unchallenged Hate | From Enslavement To Obliteration | Earache | The formative grind classic. |
Annihilator | Word Salad | Alice in Hell | Roadracer | Thanks for the request! |
Jasad | Urine Campur Narah | Witness of Perfect Torture | Rottrevore/Forever Underground | 2003 COME INDONESIA. |
Disentomb | Forced Adornment of the Funerary Crown | Promo 2012 | Self-Released | New album out in 2014. Elite Aussie brutalz for sick Aussie c**ts. |

Morbid Angel | Blood On My Hands | Covenant | Giant | Inaugurating our 20-year retrospective mark with 1993, one of the most justly celebrated albums in metal history. |
Dissection | The Somberlain | The Somberlain | No Fashion | The sole blackened entry into my list for this year, the epic debut. |
Gorguts | With Their Flesh, He'll Create | The Erosion of Sanity | Roadrunner | The product of Luc's Summer with Suffocation (so the story goes), Erosion is a masterpiece that should be honored as a cornerstone of the Brutal Death Metal sound. Despite a scarcity of blast beats, its concussive force is impossible to deny. |
Sinister | Diabolical Summoning | Diabolical Summoning | Nuclear Blast | In all likelihood, the finest release from Sinister in a career that peaked too early. |
Sentenced | Epic | North From Here | Century Media | My preferred '93 Finnish vintage. |
Suffocation | Ignorant Deprivation | Breeding The Spawn | Roadrunner | The original promo sticker: "Gut wrenching sonic torment from the most extreme band in death metal." With a heavier production, this might well have been better-remembered than any of their other releases. It concludes the '93 set. |

Dead Congregation | Source of Fire | Graves of the Archangels | Nuclear War Now Productions | Opening our retrospective on 2008. |
Grand Magus | Beyond Good And Evil | Iron Will | Candlelight Records | An epic slab of heavy/doom metal. |
Hour of Penance | Drowned In The Abyss of Ignorance | The Vile Conception | Unique Leader | Powerful, punchy slab of Italian death metal, and the band's breakthrough release. |
Orchidectomy | Excision of Pestilent Lesions From A Ruptured Orifice | A Prelate's Attrition | Unmatched Brutality | Perhaps the most extreme, brutal album ever released, and one that excels at writing memorable songs in such a style. No doubt, one of the heights of 2008. |
Crom | Unchain The Hero | Vengeance | Pure Steel | A dark horse pick for 2008, but definitely one of its standout power/heavy metal tracks. |
Human Mincer | Degradation Paradox | Degradation Paradox | Brutal Bands | Arguably the better follow-up to Wormed's Planispherium and one of the highlights of 2008. |
