Here is a reissue of the debut album from Swedish 80s Heavy Metallers AXEWITCH and you can expect a high octane dose of good old early-mid 80s Heavy Metal delivered with sharp precision and with plenty of incredibly catchy hooks! It is pedal to the metal from the get go with the first track ‘Axe […]
UNPURE are a legendary Black / Thrash / Speed Metal band from Sweden, active since 1991 and a real totem of the genre together with bands such as DESASTER, AURA NOIR and NIFELHEIM. Here we have a full-length compilation including 13 songs with two unreleased tracks and classic material, tracing the 30 years discography of […]
Formed as the spiritual successor of VORUM, this is the second assault from this entity vomited in Finland. Actually one can hear some similarities to the former band, just maybe with a more brutal approach that at times reaches a War Metal like sound, not far from early BLOOD or SARCOFAGO. But it actually stays […]
Formed in Germany a few years ago, but with veterans in this act of crafting extreme Metal of Death, this is the debut album of the band, and it is for me not a surprise that it reaches such a quality for a debut album. HORNS OF DOMINATION bases their sound in evil Death Metal […]
From the first moment I heard the album title I was interested in writing a review. Because the German term “Doppelherz”, literally translated “double heart”, is also the title of a medicine sold here in Germany. Some kind of vital tonic which is said to improve your cardiovascular system. It has been a running gag […]
With just the first second from this album, you know why this band is named ORGANIC! Goddamn! This is some stellar Swedish HM2 inspired sound, I’ve heard a handful of Swedish sounds this year but ORGANIC hit it out of the park, the riffing is bloody relentless, it is just a constant attack without mercy […]
KHNVM, pronounced as “Khaa-nooom” is a Death Metal band from Bangladesh / Germany. Juggling multiple approaches with their execution KHNVM have put together a stellar slab of Death Metal in a difficult year. At the face of it, although the sound seems straightforward, this trio have borrowed a bagful of mystic melodic elements from the […]
With WELTNACHT we have a brand new one man project, started just about a month or two ago and their first musical sign, “Das Irrlicht”, features three quite long songs, running 6 to 7 minutes. And the most unusual thing about these three songs is the fact that they are instrumental only performances. Unsure if […]
PROFANER brings the sound of the traditional old school Death Metal with their track ‘House Of Usher’. The track is taken from their 2014 EP “Ultratumba”, a fantastic opener which sets the mood for this compilation. I’ve mentally added this band to my list to explore further. Next in line is ‘Illusion Of Faith’ by […]
I probably haven’t listened to any other album as much lately, as to “Sumerian Promises”, the debut full-length from Basque / German three piece SIJJIN. Compared to the majority of releases that are flooding the market these days, SIJJIN definitely sounds like a breath of fresh air, even though the band is deeply rooted in […]
