On their third album DJEVELKULT are doing what they do best and have already practiced on the two previous ones. That is, little surprising if you take a look at the band photo, pure Black Metal. Since Black Metal offers a huge variety of different sub-genres a bit more precised specification is necessary. The band […]
Society is used to read an opinion that only gives approval or helps to feed the narcissism in themselves, no matter if they are musicians, writers, architects, politicians or tramps (the greatest artists), thinking that they are unique and different from the rest of the masses. But we are all the same piece of shit. […]
FLAGRAS are hailing from the eastern coast of North Germany. Active since 2013 already, they only released an EP before their debut “Lohe” was finally ready to come over us. Unknown to me so far, I was quite curious to hear what they have to offer as the German Black Metal underground is stronger than […]
Let me start off on the right foot with some honesty: I had, for the longest time, no idea what to say about the first UMBRA CONSCIENTA record “Yellowing Of The Lunar Consciousness”. If it was a boring record, I’d call it and be proud of that pun, but I can’t in any honesty do […]
CELEBRATE HATE are maybe not what one might call a releasing machine. Ever since they first appeared on the scene in 2009, the duo from Northern Hesse in Germany has unleashed two demos and an album upon mankind. Their second album output “Saustall Deutschland” (“Absolute Mess Germany” in English) was already available digitally nearly two […]
Any reader of these pages knows that Sweden was one of the epicentres of the Death Metal wave in the early 1990s. But there was also some Heavy Metal in Sweden before that. And I don’t talk about names like BATHORY and CANDLEMASS here. It was already in the early 1980s that classic Metal bands […]
When ”Diabolical Bloodswords” landed on my desk, I had never heard about THERIOMORPH. Though with a little research it showed that I already knew a tad about the band, as it is a one man band featuring P.E. Packain, who has roamed in abominations as SARGEIST, HORNA, SATURNIAN MIST and the mighty NEUTRON HAMMER – […]
ENSHROUDMENT is a British Doom / Death Metal trio. Upon discovering these two facts, my expectations were high. Why do you ask? Because in my humble opinion, I think that some of the best Doom / Death bands ever come from the UK. And upon first hearing, I can surely say that these guys do […]
Out of the blue. Out of the fucking blue HULDER came. She came out of nowhere. She rode in on her lugubrious flying arclight and entered our world in 2018. Eleven total releases later (yes, eleven), and the corpse-painted badass from Washington, USA unleashes her best work yet. If only other artists had this much […]
Germany’s NEBRAN is a one-man machine that thankfully sounds like a full band. When there’s so many DSBM ‘bands’ out there that sound like they’re recording in their mother’s basement, it’s a relief when we receive a delivery of well-produced, well-written songs with a full sound. “…Of Long Forgotten Times”, the first full-length release of […]
