Monokrator

by The Bleeding

supported by

Metallurgical Fire I loved Rites of Absolution, but Morbid Prophecy’s anemic production kicked me out. The Bleeding are back in top form with Monokrator, their best effort by far. These guys take everything up a notch or ten with this highly energetic and destructive whirlwind of riffs. The influences from thrash, early death metal, and 1st wave black metal are ever present, but the band still sounds fresh. Never a dull moment. Favorite track: Screams of Torment.

זעם ה' The Bleeding sure as shit outdid themselves this time man, holy fuck bro this is more than a fire album, it's thermonuclear annihilation!!! 10 out of motherfucking 10! Favorite track: Mutation Chamber.

sashavonkarl74 Super-fast blackened DM with raw vocals, like scratching your skin with a meat-grinder plate, know what I mean? overwhelming full-frontal attack nuclear wave, sharp, not repetitive, and groovy at times, with lots of tempo changes to keep things flowing well. Favorite track: Chainsaw Deathcult.

"The Bleeding are possibly the most vicious UK extreme metal band in many years " 9.5/10 - Ave Noctum

"The pure, unfiltered and (self-) destructive malice of "Monokrator" hurts in every limb and yet is so wholesome." - Demonic Nights

Striving Toward Oblivion
by VORGA

so many gems in this album but after i went through this in order for my review, i kept returning to this anguished call to humanity, an emblem of despair in vast nothingness. a shred of hope dashed, as this album as a whole speaks to the annihilation of the ideals of humanity and the pedestals they sit on - and what happens when we watch all that shatter. there are plenty of outer space themed albums, but VORGA brings us something worth listening to. mintymetal
