His intention? To continue the path laid down twenty-eight years earlier, by the legendary Florida death metal band’s seminal 1990 full-length The Key,  an album recognized as one of the most important death metal albums of all time.

For over a decade, Poland’s Doombringer has consistently produced a hybrid strain of extreme sound: the stalwart machinery of death metal adorned in the opaque cloth of black metal. With only two demos and a few EP tracks foreshadowing its debut album, the band’s sparse discography is a testament to the meticulous curation of its body of work.

With its highly anticipated debut recording, 'Extermination Mass,' Death Worship emerged in 2016 to write the next chapter in the storied legacy of the Ross Bay Cult. Whereas many bands over the years have striven to claim a position atop the mantle of bestial black metal, the incomparable lineage of Death Worship’s members and the pitiless assault on the feebleness of human existence as evidenced in this first recording confirmed it as one truly worthy of such a distinction.

Trevor Proctor's Top 25 Albums of 2018.

Year end listings are a regular feature here at The Lair of Filth and whether or not you're a fan of them they make for compulsive reading as no two lists are ever the same and I feel they are an excellent way to check any releases you may have missed during the year.

As with previous years we've been treated to a serious amount of lethal music during 2018, from bands releasing debuts to established bands we've had a hell of a lot to listen to during the year. The only downside with such a productive year is trying to keep this list to 25 which was a very difficult task - this year I've also included streams from every release so there's a lot of music for you to listen to below.
