CARONTE was formed in Parma, Italy by Dorian Bones during the now far 2011. They have released four LPs and three EPs to this date. The third EP of their discography is entitled “Circle” and was released by Ván Records. CARONTE plays Doom / Stoner Metal (or should I say, “played”), having topics such as […]
Third album from this band from Czechia, where the leader is their guitar player Tomas Halama, who played in another great band from that country BRUTALLY DECEASED, a band which I recommend a lot if you are into old Swedish Death Metal and a few touches of the NY Death Metal of the 90s. Well, […]
Formed in Italy not so many years ago, this is the second work from this band that plays evil Death Metal, influenced by MORBID ANGEL, IMMOLATION and POSSESSED to name a few. With those references one could expect a band just trying to emulate their heroes, but in this case not only they do that, […]
“Gloria” is the second offering from the Swedish incognito band MONDOCANE. The first release “Dvala” from the Swedes never really latched onto me. It has its moments, though the repetitive dark riffing, IMMORTAL era “At The Heart Of winter” and “Damned In Black”, just without the same hooking and grandiose atmospheres and brilliant riffing, the […]
Ever since DEEP PURPLE first played Jakarta back in 1975, Indonesia has been a Metal Republic. However, in the Black Metal genre which may seek to shock and transgress, Indonesian bands were never nearly to anything shocking as one might expect. They rather walked the uncharted territory of mythology and mysticism expressed in the traditional […]
Formed in 2012, Finnish Back Metal band VONÜLFSRËICH have released one full-length back in 2017, three demo tapes and eight EPs. To me, that is a pretty decent career so far. They used to be a trio, but since the passing of Lempo (bass and vocals) in 2015, they have remained a duo with Fogg […]
I guess everybody here knows about the legendary days of Heavy Metal in the early 1980s when the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) hit the musical world hard and laid down the foundation of everything Metal to follow. There’s no need to tell about all those brilliant bands of the era that became […]
War Metal, Black / Death Metal, Dungeon Metal… call it whatever you want. There’s a primitive, bestial, pungent, putrid style of barbaric Metal that grabs the soul and squeezes tight until our ribcage bursts through our flesh. Columbus, Ohio’s INVULTATION does just that. Other than a demo in 2005, the band consisting of one guy, […]
It’s been four years since the last production of Australia’s Funeral Doom Metal godfathers was released. In the meantime human kind has been craving its own end. But unfortunately it has not happened yet. This EP release consists of three songs, two of them are new and the third one is a re-recording of a […]
Death Grind Metallers NECROPSY ODOR from California were formed back in the middle of the pandemic and “Tales From The Tepid Cavity” was their debut demo. Originally released by Extremely Rotten Productions on cassette and 7″ vinyl, now this sickening demo is also getting a CD release for all the right reasons. Six tracks of […]
