VIVISECT from New Jersey, USA was formed back in 2019 and since then, never stop reminding us about their filthy and putrid Death Metal. The formula of these New Jersey Death Metallers is quite simple which will remind anyone of the dirty and gnarliest essence of the 90s. And that is, mind possessing riffs and […]
Even if it sounds more like a country from the fantasy world of middle earth to my ears, in fact Ostrobothnia is a region in western Finland. This compilation features three bands which are, of course, all located within that area. Split equally with three songs per band “Death Over Ostrobothnia” is a pure listening […]
INCANTATION are one of my favourite bands, there’s no doubt. The quintessential underground Death Metal band, formed in New Jersey in 1989 by two of the most important Metal artists from the USA, John McEntee and Paul Ledney, both of whom had previously played together in REVENANT. Then Ledney left the band and founded the […]
I’ve been waiting to listen to this band for a bit. Firstly, I knew Les Acteurs De L’Ombre Productions would be kind enough to send a promo copy to our zine and that I had to keep an eye out for this. I had this tagged as “In Queue” for a bit now and voila, […]
With such a curious name such as WELCOME TO PLESHIWAR, I was really intrigued about this German band. I didn’t look for any information before listening to this independently released EP and all I can say is that this was a more than pleasant surprise. WELCOME TO PLESHIWAR combines atmospheric and melodic influences, merging acoustic […]
FOGOS from Barcelona bursts onto the scene with their debut full-length “Corpses And Ashes”. Though formed back in 2021, the group is not made up of newbies and the experience will be felt throughout as its musicians have acquired during their time in bands like BLAZEMTH, ERED, OBSIDIAN KINGDOM, AVGRUM or ERIAL. The Butcher on […]
Are ACOD one of these rough and poisonous two-man-deconstruction troops or is it a project, which is becoming enlargend with musicians by the two protagonists Fred and Jerome? Very difficult to say – but it doesn’t really matter anyway. Because what these two freaks from the cultural melting-pot Marseille in the south of France have […]
It’s time for another 40th anniversary of a historic MOTÖRHEAD album. “Iron Fist” was released in 1982 and always was one of Lemmy’s least favourite albums of his band. Due to the circumstances in the recording process that forced guitar player “Fast” Eddie Clarke to take over the duties of the producer, Lem always labelled […]
It is indeed always spectacular, what sound documents the record companies are able to dig out after decades. We don’t talk about our modern time, where everyone can record whatever neccesary in either a home studio or even with a mobile phone. Fourty years ago recordings were a long term planned thing. Depending on how […]
I had no clue about ALTARS ABLAZE till the review request hit my inbox. I looked them up and I knew I immediately had to pick them from the list, primarily because of the various bands that the members were associated with. We’ve got members from GARBAGE DISPOSAL, CULT OF FIRE (Live) and BRUTALLY DECEASED, […]
