METATOR’s “Akocedakor” is a grossly overlooked album in my opinion. Originally released digitally in 2019, this is now being given a fresh lease of life by Blood Fire Death who signed METATOR to relaunch their debut. The band is a two piece and focuses on absolute brutality over everything. The riffs barrage one after the […]
Long story short, “Ready For Death” was supposed to be released in 1986 before “Seasons Of The Dead”, but only saw the light in 1990 (as an unofficial version – Frank). I’ve read some speculations that it could’ve been the cornerstone of Death Metal had it been released in 1986, but after hearing it I […]
GOLGOTHA was a familiar name in 90s, coming from Palma (Balearic Islands) and releasing a couple Death / Doom albums on Repulse Records. It was a unique band among brutal Death Metal that Repulse was churning out, so it stuck in my mind. Anyway, fast forward to 2021, the name is back online, carried by […]
TENEBRO is a new Italian brutal act composed of only two members: Il Becchino and Il Beccamorto. They are deep into classic horror themes just as other Italian acts are into as DEATH SS or ABYSMAL GRIEF, to name a few. Unlike the aforementioned acts, TENEBRO is into the densest forms of Death Metal. Launched […]
Is Greece the flagbearer of the new, dirty and evil? The Greek scene has some eclectic mix of bands. I know, I know! All things weird and Avantgarde seem to come from North America or to an extent the UK. However, hear me out. Often the most rotten, innovative and solid Metal springs up from […]
SLIGHTERING DECAY are a relatively young band from Belgium and “Aeons Untold” is their first full-length out via Testimony Records. Even before we get to the music, can we admire the artwork here please? I absolutely love it, it somehow feels like an extension of “Left Hand Path” and I spent more time with it […]
DORMANTH are a melodic Death Metal band that heavily invokes the Swedish gods AMON AMARTH. Now let’s define the baseline of what’s being offered, fantastic growls throughout the album. Absolutely on point, they’re in sync with the souls of the instruments and frankly one of the highlights of the album. We need to talk about […]
Have you ever wondered what you’d get if you put all of your 90s influences onto an album? You get NIHÏLANTH’s “Graceless Planet”. Right from the get go, the band stays true to the sound, the approach and the evilness of the 90s Death Metal. ‘Endless Red Stream’ is MORBID ANGEL worship done right. Of […]
“Night Terrors” is the sixth full-length by DEAD SUN and their first on Xtreem Music. It’s impossible to ignore the fact that Rogga is the musician behind this project. Frankly, I’ve lost count of what he does at any given point in time. “Night Terrors” starts off with your typical HM2 routine, it’s a standard […]
Mexican Death Metal, dark wicked grimy Mexican Death Metal is what this one man band spews in our face. TIRADERO DE CADAVERES is a new encounter for me, which makes a bit sense, as the band, before this debut full-length release, only has released two singles, from this very album. The approach is dark and […]
