MDXX was formed in 2020 and consists of four unknown Swedish musicians who call themselves V, T, C and A. MDXX offers a freshly cremated sound that is straight from the present and the glorious past, inspired by the epic Heavy Metal and Doom tradition. After releasing their debut single “Decimation” in 2021, now this […]
The fourth full-length by the US Americans VREDENSDAL is one of those albums that makes the listeners happy, but constitute a problem for the reviewer. This is due to the fact that the style of the trio eludes a distinct definition. Black Metal, that much is clear, but when you ask which sub-genre, the answer […]
Formed in late 2020 by David Nilsson, vocalist of the Swedish Death Metal formation FERAL, MACE ‘N’ CHAIN is a one-man project. The band has followed up on their debut demo “Upon The Anvil Formed” with their debut full-length record titled “Among Ancient Pillars”. Like the band name suggests something epic and ancient, the title […]
London’s Black Metal duo OLD FOREST has been around since 1998 with a plethora of releases, the most recent being “Sutwyke”, named after Southwick on the outskirts of Brighton, UK. Kobold and Beleth have delivered again an extremely confident album that has no weak points, no misses, no experimental nonsense and no boundaries. Which is […]
“Cassini – Huygens” is the new EP released by the Italian old school Death Metal band INTO DARKNESS. If there was a prize for the worst cover artwork of the year, for sure INTO DARKNESS would be one of the most promising candidates for victory. The main concept of the EP is an ordinary mixture […]
After one EP, one split 7″ and three full-length albums, “The Endless Storm” is EXTIRPATION’s latest EP, released by the Mexican label Chaos Records. These Italians have been pretty busy since their inception back in 2009. And one thing that really shows on this recording is their proficiency as musicians. All these performances not only […]
FOR CENTURIES are hailing from Mexico and were already formed in 2017. After an EP and some small releases, they finally present their first full-length in form of “Before The Eyes Of Doom (Per Sæcula Sæculorum)”. The band plays classic Doom Metal and still bands like CANDLEMASS, ST. VITUS or SOLITUDE AETERNUS are a huge […]
What is this? Another new MEMORIAM album, just about a month after the release of the band’s fifth full-length “Rise To Power”? Or is this maybe just a bootleg? The answer to both questions is the same: no! “War Rages On – Artefacts” is an official compilation that I was personally hoping someone would compile […]
This is the third album of this Brazilian band, that was formed back in 2015. As of today OUTLAW also consists of a drummer from Finland. Their style is of a symphonic Death / Black Metal band that is not far away from Swedish heroes DAWN, SACRAMENTUM of NECROPHOBIC. And to be honest they do […]
Formed in 2006 this is actually HERETOIR’s debut album, released in 2011, but re-mixed to get the vision the band was looking for and not obtained in the original release. This is a mix between atmospheric Black Metal and what is called Post Rock. At the time this was done it was a one man […]
