Yes, the fourth full-length CD of Relapse’ own psychos is here to blow fresh stench into our mobilephone-ringtones-polluted brains. How come CEPHALIC CARNAGE never got adopted as ringtone? Too many notes per seconds? That would be an explaination. Less weed infected does the band present their Rocky Mountain Hydrogrind on “Anomalies”, a bit more technical […]
What an intro: heavy as an elephant’s arse! Kinda reminds me of MORBID ANGEL. Next track: 45 seconds of pure grinding armageddon! The main part of the album offers a great range from doomy, creepy, verrry heavy Death Metal to high speed Grindcore. In between there are pure R’n’R riffs (like in ‘Black Metal Sabbath’ […]
First things first: the line-up change didn’t hurt Dutch CENTURIAN at all and newly recruited bassplayer / vocalist Jerry Brouwer and guitarist Oskar van Paradijs replace former members, vocalist Seth Van de Loo and bassist Patrick Boley (who both will concentrate on their main band SEVERE TORTURE from now on) perfectly. The line-up actually got […]
The CENTINEX guys have always been delivering first class Death Metal ever since their origin way back in late 1990. From a kinda immature, yet very cool sounding, typical Swedish old school Death Metal act in the tradition of vintage CARNAGE / NIHILIST / DISMEMBER up till now they slowly but surely developed themselves into […]
Oh, what’s that? Where to start? First of all this is not typical Metal nor do find anything typical here as this is just sick and progressive to the core. The sound really sucks at the first listening but the ears soon get used to it and then it becomes more and more interesting. I […]
After the well received debut “Urn Of Blood”, Australian Death Metal quartet CEMETERY URN releases their second full-length “The Conquered Are Burned”. Later, a vinyl version will be released through Hell’s Headbangers Records. The eight brutal tracks featured here can be described as a mix of old GRAVE (“Tremendous Pain” era) especially ’cause of the […]
Having been previously unfamiliar with CEMETERY URN prior to seeing them several times on the recent Blood of the Damned tour in the U.S., I was absolutely devastated by their live performance. CEMETERY URN play sadistic and cruel traditional Death Metal with an element of Australian bestiality. Listening to them, it is impossible to pinpoint […]
Funeral Doom. A subgenre that is so beautiful, yet so depressive and painstaking. Few bands have really accomplished the goal of building atmospheres, emotions and landscapes using this style of music. All the others dwell into a mix of slow Death-Alternative-Melodic Metal so “successful” nowadays. After a few in depth listening sessions to CELESTIIAL’s latest […]
This is the second full-length album of the Norwegian Black Metal band CELEBRATUM. They perform a rather modern way of Black Metal, like DARK FUNERAL or SETHERIAL. Fast and aggressive, based on high-speed drumming and up-tempo riffing with screaming vocals. The guitar work is sometimes performed in a melodic way that reminds me of IN […]
What the fuck is currently going on in Spain? That country rarely caught my attention in terms of high quality brutal Death Metal in the past (except for AVULSED maybe), but lately there’s a lot of great material being released overthere. And CAUSTIC’s “The Horror Cult” album is without a question another goody worth being […]
