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 / […]
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 […]
