Unmerciful – Devouring Darkness Review

By Steel Druhm

I’ve said it before. I’m not the biggest fan of tech-death. Sure, some of it can be fun, inspired lunacy, but I prefer my death dumb, ugly, and violent. I don’t need someone twanging away on a fretless bass or shredding a 30-string axe while I get my graveyard gorilla on. Thusly, Kansas-based tech-death luminaries, Origin, always left me somewhat nonplussed. Enter Unmerciful, the brutal death metal project featuring former Origin members, Clinton Appelhanz and Jeremy Turner. Though very talented musicians, these fiends prefer smashing skulls over parading a cosmic fuckton of notes past you while toying with quirky and off-kilter tempos. What you get on their fourth album, Devouring Darkness is a large steel-toed boot up your arse courtesy of a truckload of vicious death giving nods to Suffocation, Hate Eternal, Cannibal Corpse and other beastly friends best kept in crawlspaces. I don’t know what’s in the water in Kansas, but it’s not FDA-approved. Are you ready to get pulpified?

Talk about a proper album opener! Lead track “Miracle in Fire” is a steel pipe with a grenade duct-taped to it, and the beatings commence with lusty gusto. This is blasting, pummeling insanity with a vile OSDM charm served up with the frenzy that only comes from the Monkey Rage Virus. It’s like Cannibal Corpse violently copulating with premo Suffocation and Deicide, with James Murphy ripping off arresting solos between rubs and tugs. The riffs are insane and chaotic, the drumming is oppressive and relentless, and the vocals are disgusting as fook. It’s hell in a handbasket, and I love it to pieces. “Unnatural Feocity” is brainless cavemen ooga booga death played at time-warping velocities, and the Suffocation influence is impossible to miss. The title track introduces a harsh black edge to the death maelstrom. Scathing, twisting riffs swarm in abundance as a strong Morbid Angel stench burns through the oppressive atmosphere, and vocals wander into reverb-drenched Rotpit territory. It runs a bit too long, but delivers a lot of grotesque goods along the way.

“Infernal Conquering” is another highlight, with blasting speed alternating with 6-ton grooves and beef-brained mega-chugs. At their best, Unmerciful offer high-octane insanity fuel for the dangerously deranged. Their unhealthy commitment to speed leads them into a Krisiun-type conundrum where everything bleeds together into a turbo-charged mush. This can make it challenging to discern one song from another at a certain point, though it sure keeps the blood pumping. Another issue is the cover of Origin’s “Vomit You Out.” It arrives mid-album and feels unnecessary, with its grindier approach enough of a departure from the rest of Devouring Darkness to make it stick out and disrupt. Lastly, closer “Vengeance Transcending” is a step down after an album’s worth of quality death metal shenanigans, feeling more generic than its album-mates. At 41 minutes, Devouring Darkness is about as much of this kind of death as you can process before your grey matter begins to break down into pond paste. As it stands, I’m barely hanging on by my ape nails by the time the album wraps. The production is good for the style, with drums forward enough to pulverize kidney stones without drowning out the riffs and vocals. It’s abusive, sure, but why else did you come here?

Talent abounds across the board here, as every member of Unmerciful is accomplished and impressive at what they do. Clinton Appelhanz loads the material down with approximately 500 million riffs, and they twist and corkscrew all over the songs in bizarre and unholy ways. He’s a one-man apocalypse of fretboard abuse and the main reason the songs work as well as they do. He’s got little bits of Trey Azagthoth, James Murphy, and Terrance Hobbs in his style, and he goes for the throat 100% of the time. Trynt Kelly’s kit-work is stupifyingly fast, savage, and convoluted, and it’s hard to miss all the chaos he causes in the backline. Through all the commotion, Josh Riley roars and croaks with reliably inhuman vocal cords, sounding like an unstoppable monstrosity from the primordial ooze. That’s a good thing.

Devouring Darkness is an unceasing beatdown of a death metal album where technicality takes a backseat to brutality. The chops are put in service of the songs and not the other way around, and that results in some entertaining ear fuckery. Unmerciful aren’t reinventing the steel here, but they are melting it down with their unrestrained savagery. There’s always a place for that kind of animalistic behavior in the Zoo House ov Steel. If you like your death fast, ugly, and brutish, you should make room for it, too. It will keep the missionaries and bill collectors away (along with everyone else). No mercy!

Blood Monolith – The Calling of Fire Review

By Tyme

Shortly after exiting Vastum in 2023, Shelby Lermo (Nails, Ulthar) moved cross country to Northern Virginia and enlisted the talents of guitarist Tommy Wall (Undeath) to partner in writing music for a new project, the goal being to ‘create something even uglier, weirder, and more aggressive’ than Vastum. To that end, Lermo also recruited Genocide Pact bassist Nolan and Brain Tourniquet drummer Aidan Tydings-Lynch to round out the lineup for his new-kids-on-the-death-metal-block band Blood Monolith and its Profound Lore Records debut, The Calling of Fire. Birthed of such heady death metal ancestry as they are, I didn’t figure talent would be an issue. Still, I was curious about how Blood Monolith planned to separate itself from the great works of its members’ main gigs and to stand out in a genre full of dense competition. Complete with very cool cover art courtesy of Rudimentary Peni‘s1 Nick Blinko, we’ll see if The Calling of Fire‘s death metal is a towering inferno or a fizzling flame.

Speedy and straightforward, The Calling of Fire relies more on velocitous brute force than dissonant atmospherics to make its point, which is one more weighty than weird. “Trepanation Worm” kicks the door down right from the start with a battery of blast beats, an arsenal of rapid-fire riffs and trilly runs, and Lermo’s menacing death roars holding sway over it all. What that opener brings to bear is precisely what you can expect from the rest of Blood Monolith‘s debut. Comparatively speaking, there are vigorous nods to the past ala Cannibal Corpse (“The Owl In Daylight,” “Slaughter Garden”) alongside odes that recognize a newer generation and give me Hyperdontial vibes (“Pyroklesis”). Laid against the success of this assembly’s day jobs, Lermo’s quest to unite his death metal Avengers and outdo Vastum may have found the man going too hard, as once The Calling of Fire settles into what it does, there’s little else on the plate.

If one were to look up the definition of onslaught in some comparative death metal dictionary, a picture of Blood Monolith‘s The Calling of Fire may very well be pictured. In just under twenty-eight minutes, Blood Monolith invades your house, bashes your brains in with a cudgel, eats the desserts from the fridge, then kicks the dog and retreats before the cops can show up. Nearly void of desert oases, thirst-weary listeners can take respite in the occasional obscure film sound-bite and the two-punch combo “Apparatus” and “Cleansing.” The former’s intro—twenty-two seconds long—teems with a get-to-sleep-fast-app ambiance, while the latter’s outro—all forty-two seconds of it—repeats that synth-driven sleep-fast theme with low-volume guitar squeals and some static thrown in for diversity. Outside of these short-lived moments are riffs upon riffs upon solos upon blast beats upon guttural growls such that the whole begins to melt into a homogenous haze.

Blood Monolith‘s spotlight shines brightest on Tidings-Lynch’s excellent drumming and Lermo’s ghastly growls, who also spits a bevy of phlegmy hawks-sans-the-tuahs across The Calling of Fire for fun. While this might sound like a strength, it’s a flaw, and The Calling of Fire‘s loud mix is to blame. It is problematic because compression sucks a lot of the life from Lermo’s and Wall’s—what I believe to be intricate and technical—guitar work and renders nearly all of Nathan’s low-end contributions unnoticeable. There are moments of guitar goodness, whether it be the Kerry King-like soloing in ” Prayer to Crom” or the brief mid-paced passages of “Viscera Vobiscum,” that I swear, grab a cadence and some guitar lines from Bloodbath‘s “Soul Evisceration.” But even these moments aren’t enough to pull the overall effect out of the muck.

Lermo’s attempt to be uglier, weirder, and more aggressive than Vastum succeeds on aggression but little else. At first blush, The Calling of Fire feels like an in-your-face, full-on, balls-out death metal crusher; however, pushing play the fourth, fifth, and sixth time found me blurring everything together. There’s promise here, don’t get me wrong, and while I may be chastised for underrating Blood Monolith‘s debut, I stand behind my score. While it’s not entirely unworthy of your time, it’s also not landing on your year-end list, and certainly not mine. We’ll have to wait and see how hot the fire of Blood Monolith‘s next adventure burns.

Mike went to a casino to see CARCASS, CANNIBAL CORPSE, MESHUGGAH, and a buttload of lasers on April 23, 2025.

Hallo zusammen 👋

Geht es nur mir so, oder ist noch jemand in letzter Zeit so mĂŒde, obwohl eigentlich genug geschlafen wurde? Bin ich jetzt so alt, dass ich plötzlich auch wetterfĂŒhlig werde?

Aber gut, wenn ich zu Hause bin, muss erstmal der innere Schweinehund niedergerungen und Sport gemacht werden. Gestern habe ich u.a. zu #CannibalCorpse BauchĂŒbungen gemacht. The Pain was real.

An dieser Stelle daher eine klare Empfehlung an alle Metalgirlies fĂŒr die Workouts von "Moves with Molly" auf Youtube đŸ’Ș
