First up for NecroNovember is Necroholocaust, out of Vancouver, Canada. They recently played the inaugural Never Surrender Festival in Germany, being one of the three representatives from the great white north.

Third on the altar is Witchgöat, hailing from El Salvador (not to be mixed up with the now defunct band from India) with their demo Umbra Regit released through Morbid Skull Records.

At the Gates is one of the more familiar names floating around the melodic death metal world and rightly so. Since 1990, they have maintained almost the same line-up and have a distinct sound that has set them in to the highest echelons of Swedish metal. Not a band to...

Sadistik Forest is about to release their third album Morbid Majesties and it’s an unrelenting torrent of high octane, punch you in the throat death metal.
