Les Acteurs De L’Ombre Productions have been working overtime this year and have already provided a few stellar releases for consideration towards album of the year list. The next in line is AORLHAC that fit into the spirit of the label with ease. The band simply sounds badass from the get-go, they’ve got an epic […]
The first thing we need to know is that Finnish BLOODRIDE employs equal parts of Thrash and Groove. It’s been 21 years since the inception of the band and “Idiocracy” is their fourth full-length. Released by Great Dane Records, “Idiocracy” manages to keep us interested enough. The guitar work is the highlight here, some of […]
REXUL is an amazing old school Death Metal band that worships the greats of the genre and delivers ugly Death Metal via F.D.A Records. REXUL plays it close to their chest, they don’t deviate and don’t give in to the current trends, they have a single aim and it is fantastic! The riffs are precise, […]
Damn, time really flies! Issue # 10 already marks the 25th anniversary of NOISE AND SHIT, Chile’s “Metal Magazine for beer drinkers and hell raisers”, but luckily the love and dedication for extreme underground Metal is still the same with editor Huaira Herrera. As a result this new issue is once again crammed with tons […]
80s Speed / Thrash Metal is a style I really enjoy when done right. And I have always thought that the most honest approaches are the ones that stand out. And it is really rare to come across a new band that captures the sound and feeling of that specific era. Until now. After 4 […]
NERASCESI is an Italian band, formed in 2015. Their members already have some experience in Death / Grind bands and they wanted to do a band which can also add their Black Metal influences to that, thus the band is born. Now we have their debut album which is rooted firmly in the Death Metal […]
MYCELIUM is a one man band that was formed in the age of pandemic, in 2020 in Scotland. Quite interesting the only other band from this musician was more in the Black Metal realms, whereas this is strictly a Death Metal band rooted in the old school. It is obvious by the title of this […]
Chile’s BURIAL CHOIR are a blackened Funeral Doom Metal band and “The Eucharist Of Martyrs” is their second full-length, released on Fallen Temple. Albeit not a traditional Funeral Doom Metal band (in comparison to the greats from their country and one of my personal favourites SKEPTICISM) BURIAL CHOIR strikes the right chords with this album. […]
Does anyone remember the good old days of yore, when France was a kind of paradise for Heavy Metal? It was about 1983, 1984 when there were bands like SORTILÈGE, H-BOMB, BLASPHEME and DEMON EYES that released EPs and albums that were among the best that you could hear back then. Powerful Metal with good […]
Hailing from Santiago, Chile, GRAVERED is one of the many Death Metal acts coming from this South American country.

This production was re-released […]
