MEGASCAVENGER is another project by Rogga Johansson. Active since 2012 under this moniker, Rogga unleashed herewith full-length number five via Spanish killers Xtreem Music. The opener ‘They Went Mad’ starts straight into the face and is an uptempo track with all trademarks of OSDM. Similar to his projects RIBSPREADER and PAGANIZER this one also delivers […]
With KÖRGULL THE EXTERMINATOR we have a band that crossed my path more than once. And I’m pretty sure they crossed your path before as well. Four albums and a lot of split releases, as well as a compilation and an EP grace their discography, which means that the Spanish five piece is damn well […]
Have I been hiding under a rock? I’d like to think my Metal knowledge is pretty stretched out. But how have I missed out on the glory that is NARBELETH for the past decade? How have I somehow not have bathed in the blissful blasphemy of Spain’s Black Metal duo’s music? I mean, goddamn. What […]
Philadelphia’s Heavy Metal quartet BLAZON RITE harken back to the past when Metal was simpler, when there was no screamo bullshit (you know, those younger bands that screech one minute and sing like a boy band the next), and when there was a little fun in the cheesiness of the lyrics. Johnny Halladay (vocals), Pierson […]
RIEXHUMATION is an Italian Death Metal band who play 90s style Death Metal with modern touches. “The Final Revelation Of Abaddon” is their first full-length out on Lavadome Productions. RIEXHUMATION is quick to make an impression, ferocious vocals, buzzing riffs and an IMMOLATION’ish approach to drumming that grounds the overall sound of the band beautifully. […]
KILLING ADDICTION is one band that, I believe, never got the respect and the recognition they deserved. Their “Necrosphere” 1991 EP is an amazing slab of heavy, dense and obscure Death Metal. And “Omega Factor”, their debut LP, is simply one of the best records that came out of Florida back in the early 90s. […]
How could this be just 14 minutes long? I need more of this goddamnit! THY CURSE play a primitive, unbridled, maddenning, no holds barred old school Death Metal. Frankly, listening to this is like going back in time into a barely lit pub with a terrible backline, watered drinks and full of friends. The guitars […]
I just need to pack up and move to Finland. I do. This American boy just needs to go where the music is. Off the top of my head, I can’t think of any Finnish Metal band that doesn’t blow away the competition. Finnish Black Metal is pure aggressive blasphemy. And Finnish Death Metal… well, […]
Doom / Death Metal. No-hope Metal… it’s game over man, game over… formed in 2006 this very prolific band from Mexico is presenting their sixth full-length. Four songs only in over an hour of music. And let me tell you, I am very special when it comes to Doom / Death. I love the early […]
Formed in 2003 in Spain, this horrific band started playing brutal Black Metal with lyrics dealing with darkness, death and pest that have cursed humanity for ages. Some demos, EPs and splits after and they recorded their debut album in 2012, and have been keeping the spirit alive by a trinity of devoted musicians that […]
