Immolation
Majesty and Decay
 
By Aryan Nawim
 
Immolation has always been considered one of the major players in the death metal scene since their 1991 Roadrunner debut release, Dawn of Possession. Dancing around with different labels, Immolation’s eighth studio release, Majesty and Decay, marks their first with Nuclear Blast, giving the New York death metal machine the production value they deserve showcasing brilliantly mapped out drumming patterns, growling vocals, and squealing pinch harmonics.

Majesty and Decay does a good job of shifting song tempos throughout the album, providing a good balance of speedy calculated technicality with slower, more powerful songs. This awesome contrast in speed and songwriting helps keep the album flow and makes listening to the album from start to finish less difficult. Songs such as The Purge and A Token of Malice supply the force and speed one would commonly expect from Immolation, highlighted by ...

Annotations of an Autopsy
The Reign of Darkness
 
By: Aryan Nawim
 
Descending away from the death-core roots established on their debut album, Before the Throne of Infection, England’s Annotations of an Autopsy (AOAA) show a step into shifting towards a more traditional death metal sound with their second release II: The Reign of Darkness. With a more mature sense in songwriting and a lyrical structure based around the fall of humankind, this brutal album reflects the ascendancy of AOAA. The Reign Of Darkness minimizes the many unoriginal aspects that the band used on past records, rather focusing in on a sharper brutal assault along the likes of Dying Fetus and Cannibal Corpse.

The one track demonstrating AOAA’s songwriting maturity yet still giving a small hint of what they’re leaving behind is Catastrophic Hybridization. Starting slowly with a melodic solo, the intensity kicks in brutal fashion with Steve Regan’s ...
