Yes, it is Death Metal, but I would say a more modern one. It’s well played and all members know what they are doing with their instruments, also the vocalist has a very variable voice (between deep growls and more screaming parts). Also the production is clear and powerful. Blast parts take turns with nice […]
CRIMINAL were founded in Santiago de Chile in late 1991 by Rodrigo Contreras and Anton Reisenegger (ex-PENTAGRAM) and back then, their sound was more Death Metal. Maybe it’s easier the following way: “Cancer” contains a great multi media section with five (!!!) Videos: two clips and three live clips. You can see the development of […]
Oh, I was seriously wrong with thinking that CREST OF DARKNESS would be yet another DIMMU BORGIR style Black Metal outfit from Norway. In fact, this is the very first time that I consciously get to hear their material and “Project Regeneration” (the band’s second album, I suppose?!) is getting me positively surprised. CREST OF […]
I’m not quite sure if it really was the best decision of this German fourpiece to name their band CREMATION as there’s probably a lot more bands of the same moniker around within the international underground. But what the fuck – may the best and most steady one survive and judging these guys by their […]
CREEPING plays Swamp / Black Metal exclusively. Honestly I don’t have a clue what the biography would like to tell us with that description, but at least it doesn’t seem like the guys here are taking everything so dead serious. Besides calling themselves Swamp / Black Metal the biography describes this band “almost as Black’n’Roll” […]
It’s great to see that the Black Metal scene is finally giving birth to some really cool releases again after its big sellout period a couple of years ago. This massive media attention not only resulted in incredible sales numbers and the origin of several Black Metal “superstars” (no need to mention any names here), […]
Only 8 months after the stellar LP “Midian” CRADLE OF FILTH return with an album of 10 tracks comprised of 4 new ones, a cover, some old tunes replayed and a couple of instrumentals. So it’s not really a new full-length. Just recently signed to Sony now, COF still deliver their patented brand of eerie, […]
What can we expect after a 13 years hiatus? Well, at least most of us would have said “hope they don’t fuck it up” right? COUNT RAVEN is back and I can safely say they still deliver the goods and what a way to do that in their new testament in the Doom pantheon! Ever […]
Danish CORPUS MORTALE seem to have been active since 1994 and I guess that the band did not only slip through my fingers, but hopefully with their first full-length “With Lewd Demeanor” this is going to change and the guys finally receive the attention they deserve!!! The trio presents an extremely wellproduced slab of old […]
In these days, where the average Metaller has a desire for a huge, massive production, we who love the underground sound are left in peace. Nobody bothers us with bad comments concerning those releases we like (neither on Blabbermouth or any other news-sites), and we know that those who like underground Black Metal really like […]
