AUTOPHAGY comes from Portland, USA, where seemingly are hundreds of bands playing this ultra downtuned, muddy Death Metal with low, monotonic vocals buried deep down in the mix, which nowadays passes as caveman old school Death Metal or whatever youngster call it. Basically, half the appeal of such albums is the way they sound (if […]
GUERRA TOTAL from Colombia have been around since 2002, first going under the name ETERNAL DRAK and later adopting their current name under which they’ve released 9 full-length albums and numerous splits. Despite all this productivity they only came under my radar now with their tenth album “CCX”. It consists of 14 tracks, 4 of […]
With their brand new EP “Time, Futility & Death”, Sweden’s SPEGLAS definitely gained another magnificent triumph for longtime fans and an excellent starting point for new listeners to discover that Metal has no boundaries. How so? Upon first listen, it’s so heavy and melancholic that most extreme Metal would never even consider trying. All the […]
I think that all cool names for bands have already been taken somehow. So if it is not a name in a different language than your own that sounds good, you just don’t give a single damn thing and choose whatever you think will fit. That’s the case with Polish HELLFUCK who definitely took an […]
Formed in 2020, this Polish four piece presents in this, their debut album, a heavy and crushing Death Metal opus, which is influenced by the likes of DEMILICH, IMMOLATION and DEATH with a few GORGUTS and AUTOPSY touches. Yes, that means that their form of brutal Death Metal is complex, twisted and follows no rules. […]
“Wombspreader” is Swiss EGGS OF GOMORRH’s second full-length. I usually stay away from the oddly named “War Metal” (a tag I personally don’t agree with) with a few exceptions, these being BESTIAL WARLUST, BLASPHEMY and BEHERIT. For me these bands fall into the Death / Black category, just like EGGS OF GOMORRH. But in this […]
Godz Ov War Productions did it again – releasing a magnificent album. This time it is the debut by CULTO NEGRO, hailing from Costa Rica. The quintet released an EP called “ Abismal Speed Metal” in 2016 and that is a quite fitting description of what to except on “La Noche Oscura Del Alma” (the […]
This is fine news: the great Polish Black Metal act ANGRRSTH have released something new, just about a year after their fantastic album “Donikad”. This time it is “only” an EP entitled “W Czeluść” (‘Into The Abyss’) for which they teamed up with their country mates CZORT, featuring two new songs from each band. And […]
ERADICATE from Istanbul are active since 2021 only and the result of this one year is now available as the demo “Demise Towards The Dasein”, which gets unleashed by Godz Ov War. After the short intro ‘Maddening Darkness Of Obscurity‘ the trio presents some real old school Death Metal with the first track ‘Whispering Paranoia’, […]
“Cycle Of Contempt” is the ninth full-length album by the legendary Canadian Thrash Metal band RAZOR. A total of 12 new songs for almost 43 minutes of old school, fast and aggressive Thrash Metal in its purest form. There’s a touch of Speed Metal too, as usual in the Canadian scene. This new album has […]
