Guess a lot people were surprised to see this compilation released! French CATACOMB’s discography is released in one of the best packages I’ve ever seen. For those who don’t know them, this band spawned in 1990 from the fusion of MACABRA and DEATHWING. Their first demo “Morbid Attraction” was released in 1991 and later that […]
Ah, well… so here it is, the new CULT OF LUNA album. Highly anticipated I can imagine, for CULT OF LUNA have been hyped quite alot since their debut on Earache Records. Overrated? Yes, what their new efford “Somewhere Along The Highway” very well proofs. But let me take the detour before we get on […]
Well, this is definitely not an easy-listening band! Swedish CULT OF LUNA perform a mixture of emotional Hardcore and atmospheric, spheric electronics that I can only compare to a band like NEUROSIS. The whole thing sounds a bit like CROWBAR with programming effects, keyboards and loops. Although CULT OF LUNA are no band for the […]
CULTES DES GHOULES burst onto the scene in 2006, with their well-reviewed “Angel Of Poison And Death” demo. Since then the band has annually reminded us of their existence with more demos, splits, and now finally a full-length. “Haxan,” probably named for the 1922 silent movie classic, razors through the speakers in a filthy, low-fi […]
When I look at the whole artwork of this CD, and I read the title of the songs (all written in French), I got the displeasing feeling these dudes are fascinated by a foul political symbolism. You can make an idea by yourselves just by visiting the CRYSTALIUM website (www.crystalium.tk) and by examining the symbolism […]
Alongside with KATAKLYSM Canada’s most extreme Death Metal act CRYPTOPSY is back with its fourth album consisting of nine eruptions of ultra fast, totally weird and technically sick Death Metal. Compared to their preceding releases this album is extremely hard to digest and I really don’t know what to think about this one?! On the […]
This filled-to-the-brim piece of silicon should be a highly interesting album for many Voices-visitors, because it showcases a fascinating, innovative and original band from the early 90s Death Metal scene and I know that many people coming across this web-lair have a certain soft spot for this kind of Metal. Swedish CRYPT OF KERBEROS, founded […]
What a strange mix of goofy pulp horror, and dead serious writing. CRYPTICUS are unashamed Lovecraft readers and, from the sound of it, no less proud followers of Death Metal’s earliest beginnings in the work that REPULSION and NECROPHAGIA produced. The NECROPHAGIA influence may not be apparent throughout much of the album, but it is […]
“CRUSTACEAN plays an energetic and unpolished mix between American Thrash from the Eighties, Nineties’ Scandinavian riffing and PESTILENCE – alike vocals…” It’s always highly appreciated when labels not only supply us with free promo CDs, but furthermore include a review on that particular album in the same package already, haha. Nah, just kidding. But in […]
Any band that plays with vigor is a band worth your compliments, if not your devotion. CRUCIFIX do nothing original, but that doesn’t matter because they outclass their forebears now. If DEICIDE could ever persuade themselves to write another “Once Upon The Cross” at least, then all the credit would go to them. If GORGUTS […]
