Some might remember EXIT HUMANITY who released their first EP “Undead Savior” eight years ago and received well earned reputation including an interview on these pages. After a longer hiatus, Stefan finally has a complete band together, including “full-time” singer Daniel. And with a stable line-up, slight musical changes also took place. Of course EXIT […]
This is my first encounter with this Catalan horde. ÓSSERP, a word that can be translated into bear-snake, which makes the use of serpents on the band’s cover artwork throughout their career quite obvious. The artwork on this album does also feature a bear with serpents as its head, a chariot, an Amazon and an […]
The Eastfrisian Death Metal masters SLAUGHTERDAY are back. It’s not even two years ago that the evil bearded duo (read my envy between the lines) released their great “Ancient Death Triumph”, a title that said all about the album. Now Bernd and Jens tell us about the “Tyrants Of Doom”. And this album is the […]
TOADEATER from Lower Saxony in Germany are active since 2018 and are soon releasing their already third output entitled “Bexadde” via F.D.A. Records. The album starts raw and fast in form of ‘Asche’ with a punky interpretation of the Post Black Metal genre with harsh screams, shredding guitars and fast blast beats. In the middle […]
Finnish UNCREATIONIST’s debut album, “Whirlwind In The Ashes”, comes out after a ten year hiatus after their only previous material, 2012’s “Demo I”. It has been issued by the also Finnish label, Insurmountable Rex, their only album to date. And finally, the three members of the band wish to remain anonymous. This made the first […]
The TEMPLE OF WORMS is a pretty rotten temple located in the French city of Lyon. Yet it is not quite clear what ancient deity was worshipped in there. Obviously it’s the god of Death Metal, yet also the god of Thrash Metal gets his praise at this temple and even the god of the […]
The resurrection has commenced! Old school Speed / Thrash Metal is blooming as a genre these years. Often mixed with a raw dose of unrelentless Punk or an evil splash of lo-fi Black Metal. We have a great bunch of youngans leading the way with new bands, new fresh old ideas and new releases. It […]
After a lengthy 8-year span between albums, KHOLD have returned with their brand of cold-hearted grimness Black Metal. I was a fan of the band’s first three albums but lost track of them in the grand shuffle of new music. When I saw that KHOLD had a new album out, I could not help myself […]
I must say that I had never heard of the Dutch Thrash Metal band DISQUIET. So, in the beginning I was anticipating some cut-throat brutal and thrashy songs in the vein of DEAD HEAD or THANATOS. But the troops of Sean Maia on vocals, Fabian Verweij and Menno Ruijzendaal on guitars, Frank van Boven on […]
Brazil’s THE DAMNNATION, after two singles and an EP, have released their first full-length “Way Of Perdition” since forming in 2019. It’s always exciting to hear all-female bands these days, to even out the usual male-dominated genre. Renata Petrelli (guitar, vocals), Aline Dutchi (bass, backing vocals) and Luana Diniz (drums) have delivered a Thrash / […]
