DISARRAY – The Darkening

This is a short EP with two additional live tracks from 2025. They’re a Swedish Thrash Metal band from Stockholm. Try to picture a KREATOR in the “Pleasure To Kill” era. Very fast and aggressive, but it also has some melodic and groovy riffs. ‘Lord Of Lies’ is a mid-tempo song that starts with a […]

BLOOD COURT – The Burial

This band by Stefan Muñoz (who handles all instruments) and Michael Vössing (vocals) is a band that personally helps me assert that the extreme music, with focus and vision, has an inescapable impact. The sound here leans entirely toward the brutal Death / Grindcore spectrum. In “The Burial”, an attack lasting just over half an […]

DEPRESSION – Das Monument

Do you want to stay depressed? Then, this is the right band for you. Just joking! 36 years have passed since DEPRESSION began infecting the scene in 1989 as a one-man project, driven by the desire to merge the brutality of Death Metal with the speed and structure of Grindcore. With no local musicians interested, […]

UNHOLY – Demology

For those whose hearts beat solely to the slow, funereal pulse of true Doom, the name UNHOLY should evoke a visceral reverence. This mammoth 84:50min compilation, “Demology” is less a collection of ancient artifacts and more an essential codex detailing the birth of Finnish Death Doom as an avantgarde force. The two CD set chronologically […]

CREATURES – Creatures II

A good Heavy Metal band suits my days so well. Because I am in that mode. Heavy Metal. And what better than these Brazilians from CREATURES. A band of good Heavy Metal with Hard Rock tinges. While their first album “Creatures”, from 2021, has more Hard Rock elements, here, on “Creatures II”, the sound tends […]

DEMILICH – Nespithe

There is nothing I can say about this album that hasn’t been said before. But since it is one of my fave albums ever… Wait, maybe this is my favorite Death Metal album ever. Anyway, I will gladly try to describe it for those of you who haven’t been exposed to it. Originally released by […]

DESASTER – Kill All Idols

The band is not entirely sure yet, but it could be that “Kill All Idols” is their last album. Do not worry, there is no talk of a split-up, but you do not get any younger and can not always floor the accelerator. Germany’s finest Black / Thrash Metal band will hopefully remain with us […]

DEMILICH – Em9t2ness Of Van2s1ing / V34ish6ng 0f Emptiness

Finnish Death Metal legends DEMILICH have had their demo material re-released by Svart Records back in 2018 as vinyl only, but with this re-release they included CD and vinyl options for those of us that still like the CD version of music. The band is notorious for their killer debut album in 1993 titled “Nespithe” […]

WALDGEFLÜSTER – Knochengesänge II

What do we have here? It’s WALDGEFLÜSTER, a Black Metal band from Bavaria, around since 2005 with a discography of seven full-length albums, none of which I ever heard before. Started as one of those countless one man projects by Winterherz, the band evolved to a full band over the years. After four years of […]

OUTLAW – Opus Mortis

Brazilian Black Metal band OUTLAW is back with their fourth full-length, “Opus Mortis”, and they shouldn’t need much introduction to anyone paying attention. Following “The Fire In My Tomb” (2020) and “Reaching Beyond Assiah” (2023), this record feels like the band has stripped everything down to the core and pushed forward with pure intent. And […]
