DAETH DEAMON plays evil Death Metal! The intro ‘Deathspell Glacier’ takes us to a synth laden mountainscape, but the band immediately gets on track with ‘Extermination Ghost’, a three and a half minute track which bulldozes its way through the terrain. DAETH DEAMON do not waste a second here, the guitars sound thick and destructive. […]
KADAVEREICH are an atmospheric blackened Death Metal band from Russia. When I heard the first few notes, I honestly thought they were from Sri Lanka. Now, if you’ve followed the output of that country, this is exactly the stuff they drench themselves in. Suffocating, formless, Black War Metal that engulfs the generic approach to songwriting […]
MOLUCHTAS is a solo project from Belgium, which operates in the realm of ominousness and dark rituals. Journeying through a dense atmosphere throughout this compilation, one cannot help but think of the inspiration behind making such music. Whatever may be the case “Telos Terminus” is essentially 4 tracks, each taken from the 2 EPs released […]
Let’s get this Monday going with some Italian Death Metal released by the French label Great Dane Records, a label that has been quite active the last few years, digging deep in the underground, finding some good bands here and there, and getting music out to the masses. “Unbounded” is DEFECHATE’s debut full-length album. The […]
REPUTDEATH are a pretty prolific Death Metal band from Malaysia and active since 2009. “Dissecting Goryfication” is their eighth demo tape, released in 2021 by Necrolatry Records. This trio is a good example of gore-drenched old school horror Death Metal. The main concept is focused on horror, zombies, cannibals and splatter themes, in the purest […]
After a five year wait FAMISHGOD return with their third full-length album, delivering another slab of monolithically oppressive Doom / Death. The duo, comprised of AVULSED frontman Dave Rotten on vocals and Pako Deimler on instrumentation here present 7 slow, grinding tracks that are rooted in the early 90s classics of the genre. The most […]
Mexico has a great history of brutal and smashing Death Metal, going from internationally known names as THE CHASM and SHUB NIGGURATH in the early 90s, continuing with a big splash in the late 90s / early 00s with DOMAIN / RAVAGER, HACAVITZ, DEMONIZED and NECROCCULTTUS and the scene has since continued to spawn brutality. […]
The Danish INVOCATOR are a good example for a band that was a little too late and a little too unexciting to really blow up some dust in their career. Four young boys from Esbjerg started the band in 1987 when Thrash Metal was really a great thing. Like most other ambitious bands in those […]
DEAD HEAD might not ring any bells to many on lookers, but pity for those souls, as the band is up and running for over 30 years and has a worldwide, devoted fanbase. Formed right back in the glory era of 1989, these Dutch maniacs established their raw, aggressive Death / Thrash Metal sound ethic […]
EREB ALTOR return with album number nine, “Vargtimman”. As I missed out all their previous releases (shame on me), I was curious to finally check them out when I saw the advertising campaign of Hammerheart Records. Their material was described as Viking Metal, but I hear a lot more. It surely has a certain Viking […]
