GBN Livehouse has hosted yet another killer show, this time with the Japanese death metal band Invictus as the headliners. Also cool was that Obliteration Records was there to sell some music. I would definitely say that anyone who claims to like death metal that didn’t make it to this show is a dam...

My interview with killer Italian death metal outfit Lectern! lml>.

Hails all! Today, I got you an interview with Italian old school death metal band Lectern. While as I’ve said in my previous posts about their two albums, their two full-length albums may have been released recently, but these guys have formed well before the new wave of old school death metal.

My review for Iranian death metal band Nex Carnis's 2015 album "Obscure Visions of Dark".

Back to writing reviews for Asian albums for me, and in today’s post, I decided to write about another band who reached out to me. They asked me to write a review about their album and I decided to check out the music. Now let me first introduce you guys to this band. This band’s not from the same p...

My review for Lectern's full length album, "Fraticidal Concelebration".

You guys have probably read my previous post on my review of Lectern’s latest effort, “Precept of Delator”. Now here, I’m gonna write about their debut full length release. While yes, they have formed in the late 90s, a pretty bad time to be a death metal band, but recently we’ve been seeing the wav...

My review for Lectern's latest album, "Precept of Delator"! Killer death metal for any fan of the old Floridan 90's stuff!

Here’s a band who seems to have formed at a bad time, around the late 90s when death metal was starting to go out of fashion in favor of the brutal slamming death metal. They released a few EPs during this time but finally a couple years ago they put out their first full length album, and here we ha...
