… and filthy are the hounds from Lima-Hell, attacking with their second full-length strike! After the superb “Demoniac Flagellations” which was one of the highlights of 2006, Peruvian ANAL VOMIT shell out the equally dirty and relentless “Depravation”. Let’s start from the outside: again, the cover has been masterly created by Juan Castelano. While a […]
German Occult Black Metal battalion ANAEL returns with their second album after the strong debut ”Necromantic Rituals”. You can’t compare ”On Wings Of Mercury” with their first output as this second attack sounds more varied, more mature, even more modern. ANAEL today can be compared not only with SAMAEL, but also the name TIAMAT comes […]
These guys have been very active ever since I reviewed their debut demo “Into The Dark” from 2000. First of all there’s been a 7″EP (“Infernal Devotion”) through Sombre Records, which was followed by a split EP with BURIED GOD (“Eye Of The Sleepless”) and most recently (in March 2003) the split CD / LP […]
Already two things might lead you into the wrong direction – first of all, the band being British and being hailed by all British magazines (Terrorizer, Kerrang! – they actually even recorded a John Peel-session if I am not mistaken) like nothing, I was quite sure that this was another overrated band being reviewed with […]
There’s an evil epidemic sweeping the USA and no I am not speaking of no swine flu! Rather it’s a new wave of fucking violent and blasphemous American Black-Death War Metal. Yeah it’s got all those labels because a) sometimes we need labels to describe things, b) many a pussy busts out the “we don’t […]
These Viking-Beer-Metalheads of AMON AMARTH have seriously being in a working mood lately with constant good quality albums as well as quite some live-activity! And the work really pays off because the Swedish five-piece is finally getting the deserved attention and most of all progressing a lot as songwriters from release to release. I always […]
Long after the release date of AMOK VEDAR’s debut full-length the band sent it to me because the label obviously didn’t give a fart. TTS Media Music? Oh yeah, I already know two bands who get pretty pissed when mentioning that label. Hopefully AMOK VEDAR don’t experience the same. The band still plays “Gothic Black […]
“… there are no words to describe agony, there are only sounds”. With these words the second full-length release by AMOEBIC DYSENTERY is unleashed upon the listener. Admitting that this introduction is absolutely adequate I now face the problem to write some words about this output. But otherwise it is no real problem, since the […]
This album is released by From Beyond Productions (a sub-label of Displeased Records), which is specialised in releasing more or less rare and occult underground stuff. And AMMIT from Chile definitely fit into that frame. The history of this band goes back to the year 1991, when it was founded by the main-man Count Czar […]
Australian THE AMENTA optically seem to do their best to achieve this year’s DIMMU BORGIR / CRADLE-award the “Gayskar”, but musically they do not turn out to be another copy of those bands, but mix brutal blasting Death Metal with electronic sounds, spacy ambience and industrial samples. Although this kind of music totally objects my […]
