“Featuring SOILWORK & DARKANE members” sez the info sheet and this stands for quality… Thrash Metal from Sweden with highly original atmospheric parts every now and then. This one is both aggressive and kinda melancholic – a cool mixture I would say. Still, there is something disturbing about “Domination Commence” – it’s the much too […]
With the highly technical, complex masterpiece “Mark Of The Legion” (2001) and the more compact, yet in my opinion absolutely fantastic “Reduced To Ashes” (2003) DEEDS OF FLESH have created some of their best works in the band’s history. Though the three-piece absolutely shuns solos or any kind of musical experiments the intensity and quality […]
Well, here we go. So this is the new DEEDS OF FLESH output then. Actually I wasn’t really looking forward to this event ’cause I am not so much into DEEDS’ sound. What shall I say? This output is absolutely professional. The sound is good, the guitars are brutal like hell, the drummer blasts his […]
California based high speed Death Metal maniacs DEEDS OF FLESH here with their second full-length, original released back in 1998 on Repulse Records. Compared with the debut album “Trading Pieces”, the production is much better. This piece of intense, fast and brutal mind raping Death Metal sounds very powerful. The songwriting has improved a lot […]
Gosh, what a brain crushing assault of American styled Death Metal. The Los Osos based trio is back with another act of brutality. “Mark Of The Legion” is already the fourth DEEDS OF FLESH full-length and in my humble opinion it ‘s their best so far. Compared to the many other “modern day” US Death […]
Although US brutal Death Metal heads DECREPIT BIRTH’s debut CD “And Time Begins” is a short pleasure, it is one I heartedly recommend to fans of DEEDS OF FLESH, HATE ETERNAL, SUFFOCATION and so on and so forth. The album needs some time to be fully discovered, because Tim Yeung’s merciless drumming drives it to […]
Brasil still seems to have a big Thrash scene, and “Killing Tendency” is the first album of this young band called DECIMATOR, which started to play in 1999 and since now had released three demos before entering the roster of Marquee Records. About this five-piece from Porto Alegre’s music, do you remember “Coma Of Souls” […]
One can not deny anymore that US Black Metal has become a very strong and dedicated musical force in the genre. Bands like THORNSPAWN, BLACK WITCHERY, SUMMON, GRAND BELIAL’s KEY or MANTICORE proved with merciless and extremely blasphemous sonic assaults that one should raise his eyes from Scandinavia and look more closely on what is […]
Singapore based Pulverised Records are currently publishing one album after another but the quality level of these releases is honestly speaking more than unpredictable. The latest TRIBULATION, HELLVETO or GUILLOTINE releases have the potential to be called masterpieces in a few years but next to these albums there are also weaker releases from bands like […]
Being formed in 2004 by ex – MAZE OF TORMENT and ex – XENOFANES members and after releasing a self-titled MCD, Swedish Thrashers DECEIVER now unleash their debut CD. What can you expect from them? Well, they name (among others) bands like MOTÖRHEAD, METALLICA, JUDAS PRIEST and VENOM as influence and song titles like ‘Raise […]
