No mistake, the letter “a” instead of “e” is there with full intent. Because THRASHOLD OF PAIN are playing Thrash Metal. If this wordplay is clever or lame everyone has to decide for themselves. Musically the decision is more easy to make. After a short intro the band from Russia furiously starts and before you […]
Well, this one was a big surprise. Given the name of this band, I was expecting completely different music. But SPLATTERUMS, a power trio from Russia, is a Death Metal band with a noticeable groove oriented side. Don’t get me wrong; there are no weird influences or sounds here. Their music is heavy as a […]
New York, New York… yes you were singing it too! Ok, so after this nostalgia line is over and you’re in the Metalhead mode, let me tell you of these four guys and lady and the magic of music that, once you close your eyes, will transport you to a different time… like a Marvel […]
Formed in Italy in 2000, just from the look of the logo, the name of the songs and the very first few riffs, you cannot but to look at this as a total SLAYER copy. And I could end the review like that and nothing would change. But… wait a minute, I’m not done yet! […]
One day I came up with this CD cover in some store list about 15 years ago. The logo was a complete SLAYER rip-off. I mean it was the same damn font! So, in tha era of low speed internet I decided to get more info on it. When the title song came up, I […]
There is this scene in the Star Wars spin-off “The Mandalorian” when Werner Herzog in his role as the “Client” says “Bounty hunting is a complicated profession.” Taking up this quote, I would like to modify it a little into “Choosing a band name is a complicated profession”. While I was searching the internet about […]
It is quite a little sensation that the name DEATH FROM ABOVE wasn’t chosen for an extreme Metal band before. To me, it is quite a natural moniker that fits a good Thrash or Death Metal band. Instead, there only was this strange Indie Rock band called DEATH FROM ABOVE 1979 that no reader of […]
MOLIS SPOECTURM are hailing from Hungary and feature members from GRAVECRUSHER and MÖRBID CARNAGE. Their debut EP “Left For The Worms” consists of 6 tracks, heavily influenced by early GRAVE and DISMEMBER. No fancy stuff here, MOLIS SPECTRUM are only interested in ploughing their own rotten Swedeath trench powered by buzzing HM-2 guitars, rumbling bass […]
UNDER THE CHURCH have returned with a new EP, “Total Burial”, again via their longtime label Pulverised Records. The opener ‘Day Of Reckoning’ is a total wrecking ball and starts straight into the face. Of course the foundation is still HM-2 Death Metal, but they incorporated far more Thrash Metal into this track and together […]
VOMIT RITUAL is an unapologetic Death Metal band! Hailing from California, “Callous” is their first full-length album released on Pulverised Records. Frankly, the opener ‘Strangling Opposing Throats’ is a brilliant opener! The band is at their A-game here, a brilliant 2 minute atmospheric Black / Death motion through the air decimating everything at sight which […]
