Norway’s NORDJEVEL have been impressing us with their aggressive Black Metal since 2016. Now, their third album “Gnavhòl” hits us like a ton of bricks in the jaw, shattering every bone in the area. They aren’t one of those bands that change things up or mellow things down. They just grab you by the balls, […]
Hailing from Finland, TORMENTICON are a long running band that seems to be in no rush to get their songs released. There’s no other explanation that they only recorded ten songs in at least twenty years of existence. Seven of them were released as an untitled album in 2010, yet only about half of the […]
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 […]
