Do we have enough gore-grinding brutal Death Metal bands in the world, or do we need yet a band to be obscene and profane? My initial answer to this would be no, though after having spent some hours with Mecklenburg-Vorpommern’s finest DELIGHT TO DIVIDE, I have changed my mind a tad, it is okay to […]
No! I was not ready for this at all. Australia’s BEYOND MORTAL DREAMS have sculptured an impressive slab of Death Metal delivered with no remorse or doubt. “Abomination Of The Flames”, their second full-length, steps up from the get go. The rhythm section is a barrage of putrid sludge, the vocals are a dense atmospheric […]
So, you like BEDSORE and HIDEOUS DIVINITY? Then just shut everything out and check out PATRISTIC right now! With members from the aforementioned bands, PATRISTIC brings in hell from the deepest corners of the earth and adds in a personal aura of dissonance that just radiates through the muddy waves. “Apologetica” is their debut EP […]
French outfit POST-MORTEM (kinda cliché for a band name in my humble opinion) has released two EPs and their debut album back in 2016. Fast forward six years and they give us their sophomore album “The Monumental Pandemonium”. I cannot comment on their development, but if any of their past music is as relentless and […]
New Wave Of British Heavy Metal statesmen TANK have had their sophomore album “Power Of The Hunter” reissued on double vinyl and CD (with bonus tracks) on High Roller Records. This reissue is remastered and the vinyl edition comes with an additional 7″ of two bonus tracks (in my opinion, if anyone is going to […]
Heavy Metal powerhouse TANK were one of the originators along with the likes of SAXON, ANVIL and RAVEN. Like their contemporaries of the NWOBHM era, TANK also shaped and forged their sound in the 100% traditional way with passion and total commitment to the moment. But what sets them apart from the whole NWOBHM movement, […]
It’s absolutely hard for me to deny that deep in my heart I always was a great fan of the early years of TANK. Discovering a Metal band at the crucial age of 12 (or even earlier) always means you’ll love their music as a grown up Metalhead and probably this love will last until […]
The first work of this enigmatic band from the USA is their debut album from 2015. Now this one is actually their third opus, and the band is composed of people that already have some mileage in other bands like PREDATORY LIGHTS (fantastic band, for those into the MORTUARY DRAPE style) and ASH BORER to […]
Originally recorded back in 1997, this is the debut demo of this Mexican horde of melodic and epic Black / Death Metal. The band went on to record a debut album a few years later, did a couple of tours and then disbanded due to the members having to live a “normal” life. A shame […]
I really hope that there is no need to explain, who and what TANK is. Call them a legendary Heavy Metal band, founded by Algy Ward in 1980, who had his roots in the London based Punk scene in the seventies, where he played with THE DAMNED. Which, in fact, were really closely related to […]
