Arkhum are a band from Oregon that plays a very technical form of death metal with a blackened edge and this is a review of their 2011 album "Anno Universum" which was released by Vendulus Records.
Drums range from slow, midpaced to fast drumming with a great amount of brutal blast beats being thrown in at times, while the bass playing sounds very powerful and brutal with riffs that are very easy to hear at times, with some ocassional; use of pianos.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, midpaced to fast brutal death metal riffs that are very technical sounding at times and there are some grindcore influences in the riffing, while the lead guitars are hearing brutal and technical sounding death metal guitar solos, as for the accoustic guitars when they are utilized they bring a Middle Eastern sound to the music.
Vocals are mostly deep death metal growls with some high pitched screams that mix grindcore and black metal together, while the lyrics cover Science Fiction, Space and Cosmology, as for the production it sounds very heavy and professional with all of the musical instruments having a very brutal sound to them.
In my opnion Arkhum are a vey good brutal death metal band with a blackened edge, and if you are a fan of this style, you should check out this band. RECEMMONDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Grief Urchin" "Bloodgetter Encircling" and "Nilpulse". RECEMMONDED BUY.

Goreaphobia/Omens Of Masochism/Relapse Records/1993 CD Review
Goreaphocia are a band from Philladelphia that plays a brutal style of Gore/Death Metal and this is a review of their 1993 E.P which was released by Relapse Records.
Drums range from slow to midpaced beats mixed in with alot of fast playing as well as brutal blast beats, while the bass playing has a mixture of slow to fast riffs that follow the guitars.
Rhythm guitars are tuned down very low and there is alot of fast death metal riffing mixed in with alot of slow to midpaced playing that has a slight thrash influence while the guitar leades are very distorted and noisy with alot of melody being utilized.
Vocals are mostly low pitched death metal growls with some high pitched screams that have a black metal feel on the bonus track being utilized at times while the lyrics seem to be a mixture of gore as well as occult topics, as for the production it is very raw sounding while retaining a professional feel.
In my opinion Goreaphobia are a very great old school death metal band and if you a fan of old school death metal you probably already got this album in your collection. RECOMMENDED BUY
