NECRONOMICON has been known as one of Germany’s most revered Thrash acts since the early eighties. With nine studio albums under their belts and appearances all over the world in the past three decades, they prove that they have always kept their hunger. But possibly, like the persuasive yet accursed “Book Of The Dead” itself, […]
Iceland seems to become a new source of endless talented bands in the Black Metal genre. Formed in 2019, FORSMÁN present their first output “Dönsum Í Logans Ljóma” via Ván Records who have a talent to find good newcomers. The opener ‘Falsgod’ is a pretty matured Black Metal track with the typical trademarks of the […]
Canada’s four-piece ABJECTION has released their debut EP “Malignant Deviation” via Godz Ov War Productions. These 5 songs and an intro (clocking at approximately 24 minutes) showcase a solid mix of Death and Black Metal. The production is dense and heavy. Upon first listen, I thought of INCANTATION’s “Onward To Golgotha” as a good starting […]
The already 12th issue of Brazil’s CRUSH THE CROSS zine is the first one which is entirely written in English. A wise decision if you ask me, considering that it finally can also be read by people across the globe now. Even though the editor’s English needs to be improved a little bit here and […]
Godz Ov War Productions offers an EP entitled “Strange Customs” by CULT GRAVES, which is essentially a collection, containing the first demo of 2018 and the subsequent EP released in October 2020. Without any information being disclosed about the composition, without names, without anything, all that can mentioned about this project is that it consists […]
The California based Death Metal troops from EVULSE are quite a new name on the scene. Up to now, this five piece released a demo (which is also out as a 7”) in 2018, the year of their formation. “Call Of The Void” was a real blood feast for all those who love their Death […]
BAALBERITH from Poland don’t drag bones around and start smashing them from the start with their brand of pummeling blackened Death Metal. Although they’re rather a new band, formed in 2015, everything sounds super tight and meaty. “Manhunt” is their debut full-length and I was expecting straight up Black Metal judging by their name, but […]
With a name like WITCHFUCk, you have something to prove. And hailing from Poland, you have even more to prove in the Black Metal genre. I mean… just look at a short list… MGLA, BESATT, INFERNAL WAR, BLAZE OF PERDITION, EVILFEAST, BEHEMOTH. It’s a plethora of aggressive Metal rivalling any country. So now here’s WITCHFUCK’s […]
NERVOUS DECAY are hailing from Nantes in France and have been founded in 2017. After a demo and a single they finally have unleashed their self-titled debut. ‘Cerberus Brace’ starts with a good mixture of classic US-styled Death Metal with a good doze of Thrash and a pretty technical edge. The song spreads a good […]
This is the tape version, just brought to us by Nihilistic Holocaust, of the only full-length of OSSUAIRE (just short of the 30-minute mark), a French band already terminated, which only released a prior demo and a later track on a split. The original self-released CD dates back to 2010, so we can see this […]
