Mortal Death Audio

With "A Mortal Binding", the flower wilts once again…
British doom/death metal legends My Dying Bride are ready to release their 15th album, A Mortal Binding, via Nuclear Blast. For the highly anticipated follow-up to 2019's "The Ghost of Orion", the Yorkshire-based quintet delight us with a revamped line-up with the addition of permanent guitarist Neil Blanchett and the return of drummer Dan Mullins. While "My Dying Bride" has completed her 33rd year, her graceful age proves just as vital and heartbreaking as ever.
The songs "Thornwyck Hymn", "Her Dominion", "The 2nd of Three Bells" and "The Apocalyptist" are ultra-heavy, poignant anthems of doom, death and despair, while all shining through their romantic lyricism.

Limited edition box set from the NY-based Death Metal band released to coincide with their 25th Anniversary. Dead Human Collection contains all 12 full length studio albums in a 12 CD foldout case with new artwork, plus Torturing And Eviscerating LIVE on CD…

In death metal, quest for maturity has given us the nuanced world of melodic death metal - a world that death metal's stubborn, myopic purists denounce as watered down, but a world in which engaging albums like Above the Weeping World are created. Anyone who doubts that death metal has more than one flavor (ultra-fast, amelodic and consistently vicious) needs to give this 52-minute CD a very close listen. Insomnium's sense of melody and harmony is striking. Exquisitely crafted, the songs on Above the Weeping World demonstrate that the term "melodic death metal" is no oxymoron for Insomnium…

The legendary Manes return with ‘Slow Motion Death Sequence’, the most fully realised manifestation of the inimitable vision they first unveiled on 2003’s ’Vilosophe’. The band continue to riff on late ‘90s progressive experimentation of the Norwegian metal avant-garde (In The Woods…, The 3rd And The Mortal, Solefald, Ulver), deftly weaving the left-field oddity of that period through hook-ridden pop music and tripped-out electronica. An eclectic set containing the strongest and most persuasive songs of their 25-year career, ‘Slow Motion Death Sequence’ is truly a record for late nights - when the small hours draw addictive fascination from seemingly outlandish soundworlds.

Three years after Swampsong, Kalmah returned with a successor to their trilogy that kicked off their career. Kalmah’s sound became more cemented in melodic death metal without the extraordinary fervor of the previous material. Therefore, this album sounds tamer in comparison. Each album thus far has brought a less explored avenue for Kalmah, with this one taking that concept further into stability. This time it’s a slightly thrashier Kalmah, but overall it feels like a natural transition from the eclectic early years.
