SPIRITU MORS is a very enigmatic band that comes from Australia, there’s hardly any info about them or what place in its discography this is or how long they have been around. But that does not matter when the music is this good. Just two songs, but more than enough to leave you wanting for […]
A band that is named after a song from the mighty VENENUM? Well, this would really stir up hope for a great Death Metal band unless the band is signed to the French premier Black Metal label Les Acteurs De L’Ombre Productions. So I was out expecting some more fine dark and extreme music from […]
Polish one man Black Metal band DOOMPRAYER has just released their self-titled debut album on Fallen Temple Records. Not much information is found online about the band other than being formed in 2013 and being based out of Warsaw. Lead by mastermind Veltis, the band is set out to be a new generation of Black […]
Besides being from Sweden, I could not find any other information about MONDOCANE. This country has spawned some solid Black Metal bands such as MARDUK, DARK FUNERAL and WATAIN just to name a few. So one would assume that MONDOCANE would fall into a similar sound. But that is not the case. MONDOCANE steers away […]
It’s always a pleasure discovering old and forgotten gems in the Black Metal underground. Here we have a reissue of an album originally released in 2004 from a pretty unknown band active in a scene that I consider one of the best Black Metal movements ever: the Polish one. WAR was a criminally underrated band […]
What a killer idea from High Roller Records to release this fine retrospective, compiling all pre-album SLAUGHTER MESSIAH material in one place. For those in the dark, this horde hailing from Belgium has been defiling underground Metal stages for 14 years now, releasing a demo “Deathlike Invasion” in 2012 and then following with the 3 […]
Russia’s one-man Black Metal band AKATHARTOS has released their first set of music in the EP “Baptized By Darkness”, and it’s a fucking mess. Now, before you lose interest, this doesn’t really mean it’s bad. Well, the production is bad. It’s all over the place. Some instruments are louder than others. Hell, it almost sounds […]
Fast forward to France and the debut album from this one-man band named ARCHVILE KING from Nantes. The band released their first release, an EP entitled “Vile” in 2020 and the four tracks on that one, were enough to convince Les Acteurs De L’Ombre Productions to release a full-length album with the band. The first […]
From the icy and rugged far north of Alaska, RÜBEZAHL brood their debut album “Remnants Of Grief And Glory”. The name, RÜBEZAHL, refers to “Lord of the Mountains” and the story goes back to pagan heritages. Ruebezahl legends come out of the Riesengebirge “The Giant Mountains” – a mountain range between Silesia and Bohemia. Although […]
SUFFERING SIGHTS is a relative newcomer in the strong Chilean Death Metal scene. They are already making a name within the global underground scene. Inspired by acts like MORBID ANGEL and POSSESSED plus classic Chilean monikers such as PENTAGRAM, ATOMIC AGGRESSOR and TORTURER, they released a first EP entitled “Existential Realism”. Launched initially on tape […]
