SINNER Boom Bang Goodbye Reigning Phoenix Music (2026) Rating: 8/10 With an astonishing 20 full-length studio albums under their belt, Mat Sinner decides that Boom Bang Goodbye will be the last chapter for German stalwarts Sinner.

With its garish artwork, debut full-length platter Temporal Mutations slots in nicely into today’s modern old school worship. It’s an outing carved from […]
COPROLITH Putrescence Me Saco Un Ojo / Rotted Life (2026) Rating: 8/10 With its overwhelming stench of a damp grave, the debut full-length album from Canadian combo Coprolith is a welcome addition to the pungent, grotesque gallery of modern day death metal. I use the term “modern” very lightly because although Coprolith exist very much […]
