When you hold this band’s booklet in your hands and look at the design, when you listen to their music you can sense with every decomposed fibre of your feeble body that these lunis are absolute Metal monsters. Leather and spikes everywhere, posing like mad, bolts, the devil’s sign, etc., etc. I like this kind […]
This is exactly the kind of record that leaves me in a state of perplexity, because of its absence of originality. To review such an album consequently becomes a very difficult task, because it is good in a sense, but not enough to be warmly recommended. DEMONIZED seems to be a side project involving people […]
You don’t need to be a master of black magic to know that by the end of the year this album will be a hot candidate for the Death Metal release of the year. And sometimes Death Metal is so easy – you take three CENTINEX members with a hell of experience (good and bad […]
No wonder! As I am listening to this band and wondering how in the fuck I never heard of these guys before now? DEMONICAL was birthed just this past year 2006 by former CENTINEX members – Johan Jansson, Martin Schulman and Ronnie Bergerstahl, along with the added help from ex – REMASCULATE vocalist Ludwig Engellau. […]
I suppose we are now at the fifth or sixth wave of Black Metal bands. The genre has crystallized somehow the last few years, losing its avant-garde component, its rules being now firmly cast in stone (the same goes for other Metal subgenres I do nevertheless prefer, I have to add this to be honest). […]
Is this the same DEMOLITION from Austria? I really cannot believe it! I have somewhere around another CD by them and although it was an enjoyable Deathrash release, at the end it was collecting dust in the shelf. It seems that this is their first recording where they use 2 guitar players and I suppose […]
German band, debut album, playing grim Black Metal in the DARKTHONE / BURZUM style. I might end the review here, as most is said about this release. But this deserves to go further a bit, and you’ll find why. This is mostly mid tempo Black Metal, with screamy / whispered voices in a demo level […]
Even a possible second golden era of Death Metal won’t be in the position to change the fact that Dan Swäno has been (and still is) one of the driving forces of this style. Today his name is maybe more frequently used if it comes to his recording and mastering duties but with DEMIURG he’s […]
It doesn’t require a very insightful mind to predict what DEMIURG sound like. A simple glance at a cross-reference list of all of the bands with which the various members of Sweden’s DEMIURG are involved makes it clear what to expect when listening to their second album, “Hate Chamber.” Apparently the creation of RIBSPREADER vocalist […]
DEMIGOD… DEMILICH… DEMIURG… I suppose the choice of monicker was no coincidence in the case of this Swedish project, lead by EDGE OF SANITY / PAGANIZER / RIBSPREADER vocalist Rogga Johansson, cause what we got on this debut full-length should be a real feast for every worshipper of old school Death Metal, the Scandinavian way.
