DECEASED – Behind The Mourner’s Veil

I suppose (and really hope) that this is gonna be sold for the price of an EP as the playing time not necessarily offers you much value for your money. Apart from that, I have no complains at all. DECEASED have become stronger and stronger throughout their years of existence and play true fuckin’ Metal, […]

DECAYED – Hexagram

It is well known my disdain for the standard, unoriginal, stagnant contributing followers of Black Metal that, as routinely as a watch is wound, contribute more recorded audible offenses than ought to be allowed or physically tolerated. There are those though in lieu of this known fact, those select and discretionary few acts that regardless […]

DECAPITATED – The Negation

What a dreadful punch in my face… well, I expected nothing less than high-quality, speed, technical Death Metal when I received this new output of Polish youngsters DECAPITATED. I knew that this release was bound to be state of the arts Death Metal… but this actually exceeds all expectations I dared to have in advance. […]

DECAPITATED – Nihility

I chose to ignore the vibe surrounding “Nihility” before actually write about it, a difficult exercise if you ask me. I find it rather amusing that magazines like Kerrang or Metal Hammer England, usually far more interested in short-haired, short-dressed and short-minded “bands” praise a real Metal outfit so much. If some people could only […]

DECAPITATED – The First Damned

This is by no means the sophomore album from DECAPITATED, but rather the reissue of their two demos, namely “Cemeteral Gardens” (1997) and “The Eye Of Horus” (1998), including two previously unreleased live tracks recorded in Poland on the Thrash’em All Festival in August 2000. You will find on “The First Damned” more or less […]

DECAPITATED – Winds Of Creation

I guess this album got lost somewhere in between the wave of releases in the last months. And as I had the pleasure to get to know their musical efforts on their tour together with IMMOLATION I do not want to withhold them from your knowledge. These young guys (approximately between 17 to 20 years) […]

DEATH YELL – Morbid Rites

For those who don’t know, DEATH YELL (from Santiago, Chile) formed in 1984 and have managed to release one (and only) demo tape that is still considered – for many – as a “cult” release. If you ask me, the highlight of their career is the split EP with none other than Finnish Black Metal […]

DEATHWITCH – Violence Blasphemy Sodomy

I am not familiar at all with DEATHWITCH’s past career, so don’t count on me to compare this new offering to the previous ones. What I hear in on “Violence Blasphemy Sodomy” is a nice mixture between old Thrash and Death Metal, but I am afraid it is not enough to make the enthusiasm surge […]

DEATHSPELL OMEGA – Paracletus

French avant-garde Black Metal masters DEATHSPELL OMEGA have finally returned with a new full-length on their new label home Season Of Mist, but fortunately this cooperation with a bigger record company has no effect on the awe-inspiring complexity of DEATHSPELL OMEGA’s high class musical output. “Paracletus” once again tears down all structural boundaries of the […]

DEATHSPELL OMEGA – Kenose

“Kenose” is the new effort by this real unique horde hailing from France. DEATHSPELL OMEGA are not your typical standard Black Metal band. They are far beyond, in a world many bands will not reach. If you want you can call this one here an innovative blackened album. The three extremely long tracks offer so […]
