On his endless hunt for the white whale Captain AHAB is finally ready for his second voyage to the dark wilderness of the seas and after their very strong debut three years ago (“The Call Of The Wretched Sea”) I was really looking forward to the new renaissance of German Doom Metal. But since weeks […]
This piece of modern, melodic Black Metal is a solo project by Torsten Hirsch, known as the vocalist of the lately split up NOCTE OBDUCTA. Torsten alone is responsible for vocals, string instruments and programming of drum computer and keyboards. Only the lyrics were provided by NOCTE OBDUCTA’s Marcel Breuer. And what can I say […]
Who’s out there for a quick fix of pure, adrenaline infusing Speed / Thrash?? Yeah, if you like Thrash Metal then you should definitely check out AGGRESSION from Spain. “Moshpirit” is their debut album and it has everything – fast, catchy riffs, lots changes, some amazing solos, solid and perfectly clear production, at times even […]
At last here is the new offering from one of the most talented Heavy Metal bands of yesterday and today. I was afraid that the sordid legal dispute involving the new AGENT STEEL with their old singer John Cyriis (this guy is a kind of disturbed genius and he was mostly responsible of the AGENT […]
I didn’t really follow these guys’ history, so I had to do some investitation in order to back up my little review here. Well, what I found out was that the members of AGATUS actually are of Greek origin, but live in Australia these days. They started out as a three piece, recorded their debut […]
I just hope that people who tend to enjoy AGATHODAIMON’s debut will not necessarily ignore the band these days because of the fact that their second full-length “Higher Art Of Rebellion” didn’t exactly fulfill the high expectations set by its predecessor.

Since their foundation in 1985 and first release in 1988, they have come up with a constant stream of EPs – especially lots of […]
Let me begin with my main complaint about this album: the release date. All the cartoon-satanists within the scene go or at least try for some ridiculous 06.06.’06 or Halloween – release and this wonderful piece of music that evokes pictures of vast snow-covered landscapes or autumnal woods more than anything else is unleashed upon […]
In case you haven’t read it somewhere else already, let me tell you that AFTER DEATH is the new home of former MORBID ANGEL-, INCUBUS-, NOCTURNUS- and ACHERON – drummer / vocalist Mike Browning. I really have no idea why it took so long until a label was finally willing to release something properly of […]
The last AETERNUS full-length album “A Darker Monument” (which got released via Nocturnal Art Productions) already dates back to 2003, so it obviously took them quite a while to return to the scene… I suppose the label change was part of this delay, but I’m not 100% sure, so you better don’t quote me here.
