Country of origin checks out. Genre checks out. With vocals oscillating between the netherworld and reality KORPSESOTURI is your quintessential Finnish Death Metal band that literally checks all the boxes of a modern Death Metal signature that is now the standard. The drums are higher in the mix and they get in the way now […]
A Mark Riddick cover and old school Death Metal. This combination has become well-known during the last years. Just in case anyone is suffering from boredom, try to figure out how many covers / logos / posters Mark Riddick has drawn. At some moments I have a feeling of overkill and excess of this assemblage. […]
TYPHONIAN is a German Death Metal band that, having released their debut album “Beneath The Streams Of Life” in 2018, now brings us this rather lengthy EP, just short of a half hour of music. A suitably eerie intro invokes cosmic terrors from unfathomable depths while you look at the excellent album cover depicting some […]
When I think of Sicily, this island at the boot tip of Italy, Metal is not the first that comes to mind. But the really new three piece OSSARIO comes exactly from this island with a history that goes back to the ancient Greek and Phoenicians. As I’m not here to teach you a history […]
PLAGUELORD from Australia plays Death Metal to retell the essence and spirit of BOLT THROWER. But, it’s not just plain following, it’s to deliver menace and destruction in a slower and crushing way. “The Silent King” is their debut EP offering, which is a follow-up of their first and only demo “The Great Devourer” from […]
First off I can say that it was really hard to get information on SEER OF GALLOWS other than it is a one man band from Sweden. And that makes this album even more odd. I mean, we do have the well-known NWOSDM movement, which has been proven a blueprint for most Swedish bands playing […]
The Chilean underground scene keeps revealing some well hidden bands to me. With APOSTASY from Valparaíso, we have a long running band that is active since 1987 and of course released some stuff during their career. Yet their discography is quite straight forward, due to a long hiatus of 20 years. That’s why 2021 sees […]
Dortmund, Germany based Doomsters WHEEL have finally delivered their long awaited follow up to their 2013 sophomore album “Icarus” and what a follow up it is! They have taken a lot of people by surprise and are turning a lot of heads already with the recently released “Preserved By Time” which sees the band go […]
When researching band info, it’s interesting the things you find out. BORGNE’s keyboardist Lady Kaos has played live with female Black Metal masters ASAGRAUM, and Bornyhake (vocals, guitars, drums) has been in more bands than anyone can count, including a band called THE TWO BOYS SANDWICH CLUB. There’s a part of me that really needs […]
It seems like RAVEN and FEAR FACTORY drummer Mike Heller is not fully stretched with these two bands and about eight to ten other bands and projects. BLACK HOLE DEITY is another band that features his excellent drumming skills. And excellent drumming is needed in a band that plays technically demanding Death Metal like the […]
