I guess it is no coincidence that the song ‘Horror And Aftermath’ starts with the lines “Blessed are the sick (…)”. Obviously MORBID ANGEL is a huge influence for French based duo CORRUPTER on their debut full-length “Descent Into Madness”. Especially the mentioned “Blessed Are The Sick” album plus the follow-up “Covenant” with its sometimes […]
THE NEST is a collaboration between members of WOLVENNEST and some special guests. Each individual participating retains their own signature sound and identity, but comes together to create something unified. This entirely original, commissioned performance combines meditative, ritualistic elements with psychedelic sounds and blackened Doom Metal, as well as bringing together a group of long-time […]
Well, well, well my Michelle, BELLGRAVE is back, and not just back! Back as king as they state with the title of their comeback album, and the first album since 2016’s “Panzerherz”. The German band disbanded in 2017, though couldn’t apparently keep their musical endeavors in check, and had to churn it out to us, […]
Germany’s wrecking ball SCALPTURE from Bielefeld is striking back with full-length number three “Feldwärts”, again via F.D.A. Records. Yes, normally I could stop here as F.D.A. only releases quality products and everybody knowing SCALPTURE knows what to expect. For those who don’t know what the band stands for, I will continue (thank you Michael – […]
Everything changes, it all stays the same? Somehow this album sounds like a remain out of the nineties. Partly at least! Roughly riffed and with hollow drum-sound the opening track starts, sort of Thrash and Death Metal meeting Hardcore once again. Besides all the groove, songs like ‘Peregrination’ or ‘Into The Depths I Ride’ suddently […]
Sometimes it can be pretty fascinating if two bands with a different musical background team up for a joint effort like a split release. But sometimes it is not. The latter goes for this split release from the Texan Death Metal act PHALANX INFERNO and the French Dark Ambient project MELEK-THA. The explanation for this […]
“Nacht” is the second part of (DOLCH)’s album trilogy after “Feuer” and it seems as if the Berliners have found each other even more. With “Nacht” (DOLCH) is celebrating its eclectic, gloomy, ethereal gothic droning doom sound way more than you would expect. “Bleak” could be a key word for (DOLCH) because everything the listener […]
Poland has unleashed a number of great bands in the past and SOULCARRION is proof that this country keeps delivering the goods. They have just released their debut album through Godz Ov War Productions. Both members of the band, Greg (lead guitars) and Michal (rhythm guitars, bass and drum programming) know exactly what they are […]
NEBULAS is a Black Metal band / project formed in 2000 by Berlin, Germany based Christian Frost. His discography translates into a promo, an EP and two full albums. “In Diabolic Cycle Of Times” was recorded in Berlin and mastered in the studios of Harris Johns, who also took care of the mixing process. For […]
The land where the mariachi music reigned (and still does nowadays), developed one (or should I say two?) of the most brutal and technical bands of Death Grind in the Mexican Metal scene of the early 90s. FAECAL TRIPE was (de)formed in the first month of 1992, in Guadalajara, Mexico. After a few months, they […]
