On their debut album, this four-piece from northern Germany delivers wonderfully powerful Death / Thrash Metal with a strong old school feeling. That means that THE DAMNATION are not up to break any hyperspeed limits (although they play fast), but that they are more focused on catchy songs in general, comprising memorable guitar riffs and […]
Formed back in 1989 Swedish oooooold school Black / Thrashers DAMNATION did not manage to release anything except demos until 2004. Now the band’s first full-length is ready to strike and though it turns out to be a total worship of BATHORY, VULCANO, old SAMAEL, SEXTHRASH, DARKTHRONE and old MAYHEM it undoubtedly has its qualities! […]
The mindblowing grinding madness machine from Poland has just arrived at your town, more brutal than ever! Yeah of corpse we talk about DAMNABLE, one of the most violent and wildest bands on this fucking planet. This is their new album called “Completely Devoted”, featuring twelve tracks of brutal Death / Grind full of blast […]
More and more, bands of all ages and nationalities are trying their hardest to play Metal of all varieties with the exuberant punch that gave it such vibrancy in decades past. DAMAGE are one such band. Their demo, “Time To Attack”, is a charmingly amateur affair similar to the early work of SODOM, METALLICA, and […]
Better beware for the DAEMON is back for its deadly EMBRACE! The beast’s return to our dimension turns out to be even more dangerous than its first strike “Nocturnal Overture” as the creature’s powers have immensely increased. Including the goosepimple outro, 7 sins have been banned onto this album of pure fucking Endzeit. This monster […]
And yet another real good band I saw at this great HIDDEN IN THE FOG / THE AWAKENING / OF TREES AND ORCHIDS (now INGURGITATING OBLIVION) / NAGELFAR gig very recently (check out all of these bands!). DAEMONS EMBRACE are playing a raw sort of Black/Thrash Metal (no keyboards) one might compare with the sound […]
Read carefully cabrones! This is NOT the wimpy German CREMATORY, this is the real bad ass CREMATORY from Sweden and a hell of a talented band to anybody you ask. Perhaps, I have been longing for this CD more than what I did for the old shit compilations of NIHILIST, DISMEMBER, NIRVANA 2002 or similar […]
CORPSE MOLESTATION is one of those mandatory listens if you really want to delve deep into the underworld of bestial Death / Black Metal. I have always considered their short-lived tenure as the continuation of what BLASPHEMY achieved with their “Fallen Angel…” episode. I would even venture to say that the Australians were able to […]
CIANIDE were never as renowned as MORBID ANGEL, but they were obviously good enough to pound through the mid-90s, whereas countless other, equally proficient bands disintegrated in the decidedly anti-Metal atmosphere. CIANIDE released “Death, Doom And Destruction” in 1997, a year that for obvious reasons will not be remembered as particularly interesting, though we did […]
As CAULDRON BORN’s 1997 full-length debut “Born Of The Cauldron” (back then on Underground Symphony Records) reached prices of over than $100,- at eBay already, ten years after its original release Epic Metal fans who didn’t heed the call back then can finally lay their hands on this underground gem, thanks to Stormspell Records. In […]
