The best comment a band like CIRCLE OF DEAD CHILDREN can get is: Sick as fuck with a fucking big exclamation mark! Intense brutal growling and gurgling, aggressive hectic screams and short blasting songs, that make your brain melt in a few minutes. I’m not a fan of stuff like that, but it is fun […]
Atmospheric intro (from a film?), then: total devastation! I bought this CD because they were supposed to sound a bit like PYAEMIA (great SUFFOCATION fans) and to some extend that’s right. What at first completely distracted my attention were the vocals: I can’t help it, they remind me of a hammond organ!!! I know Konni’s […]
This Italian Metal band is quite new to scene and this (promo) debut “Lazareth Of The Abyss” is their first release (as far as I know). Their bio says they were “pullulating in the underground around 1990”, which means each member was involved with other bands that time. If you did your homework well, you […]
If I counted correctly this is Chicago old school Death Metal maniacs CIANIDE’s fifth album and it marks the debut for Dutch From Beyond Productions. As on all previous releases the band still offers old school Death Metal in the true sense of the word: doomy mid-tempo passages in the vein of HELLHAMMER / CELTIC […]
It’s actually the first time that I got to hear a full-length of America’s CIANIDE, although they’re already around for quite a while. “Divide And Conquer” offers ten very simple, straight forward Death Metal songs, their style often reminds me on old MASTER (just listen to the riffs in ‘Death Machine’ and MASTER’s ‘Pay To […]
As I listen to this latest from Hells Headbangers, I can’t help but think they have better in their roster, and of whom need more publicity and support than these five Danes. Of whom I have recently been told split up?! Is that right? Wasn’t this the case with one of the last CDs that […]
It’s always a pleasure to see that Norway’s underground has always something more to offer than just your standard Black / Viking or Gothic Metal band. This time it pukes out a dark brutal Death Metal squad called CHTON (pronounced K-Ton) which saw its dark light of day in the beginning of the new millenium. […]
After a promo CD in 2002 Dutch THE CHOSEN signed a deal with Blazing Productions and come up with a really great debut CD blending musical influences from bands like HELLHAMMER, CAULDRON BLACK RAM with some fierce Death Metal parts and vocals that positively remind me of ex-ORDER FROM CHAOS / ex-ANGEL CORPSE frontbeast Pete […]
Ok, this is a real short release, but it is a promo CD-R, so the length is not of any interest, what counts is the music this 7 minutes contain and I can come straight to the result and tell you THE CHOSEN are very good. They are the new main-band of NORTHGATE vocalist R.J. […]
CHILDREN OF TECHNOLOGY from Italy prefer the ancient style and worship the old Speed / Thrash Metal on their first full-length “It’s Time To Face The Doomsday”, released on none less than the awesome Hells Headbangers Records! You probably have seen their name before, since they released a load of splits prior to this album. […]
