A good ten years ago or so, there was a lot of hype around Icelandic Black Metal, which really became the talk of town. Some of the music was quite good to be honest, though some of it has already been forgotten more than once. MANNVEIRA released a quite acknowledged EP in 2014 entitled “Von […]
Just one year after “Bloem”, FLUISTERAARS return with their fourth full-length “Gegrepen Door De Geest Der Zielsontluiking”. A bit less accessible than the last album, “Het Overvleugelen Der Meute” shows ist beauty after some more spins. Even though I do not like the word, this one is Post Black Metal at its finest. Very raw […]
Thrashing madness from Brazil, we’ve heard that quite some times before. I don’t know what they have in their water over there, though they have been stable deliverers of hard fueled Thrash throughout 3 solid decades now. There are old mastodonts still thrashing on, newer bands kicking arse and then some from the original scene […]
CRAVEN IDOL are a band from the UK and this is their third album since their formation in 2005. And it is an impressive delivery of Black Thrash Metal, rooted in the classic names of the past, but also incorporating later Black influences, with a modern production that in no way subtracts from the aggression […]
There’s certainly a lot of trash among Thrash Metal flooding the cyberspace, but for those who are not lazy to dig deeper, some dedicated YouTube channels provide endless stream of new releases to check out for free. KILLING from Denmark will hardly shake the world of Thrash and reach millons of streams, but on their […]
There’s not an abundant amount of Death Metal that comes out of the Philippines. There’s of course DEIPHAGO. But other than that, it’s a little bare. But PATHOGEN’s been churning out good, solid music for the past two decades, and still going strong. Only five full-lengths in all this time, but shitloads of splits and […]
SIDEREAN is the new avatar of Ljubljana, Slovenia based TELEPORT. While TELEPORT itself is a phenomenal band and if you haven’t heard them, I strongly recommend that you check them out. With SIDEREAN, the members push the sound to the next level. Death Metal inspired by the Sci-Fi / cosmos isn’t new, we’ve had pioneers […]
TOTAL ISOLATION is a band from British Columbia, Canada that plays raw, ferocious, gut wrenching Death Metal with no remorse. “Winfield” is their first ever release, a demo from 2019. TOTAL ISOLATION keeps it simple, they look east to Finland and Sweden for the blueprint of their approach. The muffled riffs and bass just meander […]
Per Seed Of Doom Records, Canada’s West Coast chainsaw Death Metallers TOTAL ISOLATION and East Coast French Canadian sadists SEDIMENTUM have teamed up for a bone splintering teeth grinding Death Metal split release and well they’re right down to the bone. This two track split brings out the best of the bands. Track 1 is […]
The world has exploded, Australia is now a wasteland, there’s toxicity sprawling across every inch of the land. Human kind has shredded itself to pale shadows of themselves. The water is contaminated, roads are split across evenly as the molten lava flows in between. At a distance, on a melting rock, stands Mad Max and […]
