DEATH REALITY certainly belong to the strong German Death Metal bands. Especially this new album entitled “Bloodprints” proves me right. Technical yet pretty old school Death Metal. Never showing off, though. Good songwriting that definitely catches my attention. This also has to do with the effective vocal lines or the occasionally added melodic leads which […]
I admit that I discovered DEATHEVOKATION by sheer chance when browsing to a mailorder catalog and falling upon a description comparing the band’s sound to some of my old favorites like old-ASPHYX, GRAVE and BOLT THROWER. Although the description was not 100% accurate (I don’t recognize the ASPHYX influence to a great extend, despite the […]
That this is Death Metal can’t be questioned. But Death Metal is more than just that, since there are chaotic Death Metal, brutal Death Metal, groovy Death Metal, melodic Death Metal, old school Death Metal. In the end it’s all just Death Metal if you get the deadly feeling from the music, a deadly and […]
Cruel Norwegian Black Metal, that’s what you get here. This is fuckin’ raw Black Metal in the vein of old DARKTHRONE ( “Under The Funeral Moon” and Transilvanian Hunger” period) with elements of old SAMAEL (“Worship Him”) and old BEHERIT. DEATHCULT offers nothing new to us, but they do it with style. The production is […]
This is the debut album by the Mexican Death Metal band DEATHCRUSH. Formed in 2002 and after several line up changes they are now attacking the listener with a blazing assault. Fast, aggressive Death Metal, the way KRISIUN or REBAELLIUN used to play on their early releases. The production, especially the drum sound, is not […]
If a band like DEATHCHAIN is in the position to enter the Finnish charts on the 13th position it’s maybe not the most astonishing fact (taking the small population into account) but it could be a proof of quality (have a look at all the crap that enters the German charts… does that indicate quality??? […]
Off they charge… as quick as a flash, with hyper-speed, pacing out all the others. DEATHCHAIN play speedy Death / Thrash that really sounds tight as a witch’s cleft. The feeling of this recording is dynamic as an anthill, fierce as a lunatic skunk running through a higher middle-class American suburb spreading its peasant odours. […]
It’s been quite a while since I came across an album that sounded so honest and right into your face like it is the case with DEATH BY DAWN’s debut full-length “One Hand, One Foot… And A Lot Of Teeth”. These guys certainly won’t win a “perfect production” contest as the whole material got recorded […]
Former NIHILIST / ENTOMBED drummer and current HELLACOPTERS member Nicke Anderson re-discovered his love for old school Death Metal and as a result returned to the underground scene with a new band called DEATH BREATH. This three-piece got together in 1995 and next to Nicke (on guitars and drums) features Robert Pehrsson (guitars / vocals) […]
Right from the start, I had the tendency to believe that this legendary Bay Area Thrash Metal act would make a great comeback album unlike their fellow countrymen EXODUS- after all DEATH ANGEL had never failed to deliver non stop top notch material, having managed to end up their career with a milestone in “Act […]
