Releasing a steady flow of demos since their formation in 2005, FERETRO, a Death Metal band out of Chile, has released its first full-length album after 20 years of existence through Nihilistic Holocaust out of France. A label that has also had a steady, but not overwhelming flow of releases since about the same time […]
Coming from France we have the new album from LES BÂTARDS DU ROI. This past few years there had been a huge revival of Black Metal bands coming from that country, which never really had been considered among the places where we get a great Metal scene. But that is starting to change now. I […]
I’m currently playing Space Marine II, which is a video game similar to Gears of War in playstyle. I’m a huge fan of all things Warhammer (the game, not the band here), so I eagerly dove into this console release. So while I am playing this, I begin to draw parallels in my thoughts with […]
Are you ready for the last Supper? Think of a night of ritual, sacrifice and almost 26 minutes of a dense and obscure ceremony. Yes, this is what these two bands, VETTER (Norway) and FYRNASK (Germany) are here for. To officiate the ceremony. The name of this split “Nattverk” is a Norwegian word that means […]

Those amongst us who have existed, experienced and / or been part of the world of Metal for any extended length of time, particularly the Black Metal spectrum, have to know of the band CHRIST AGONY. Whether you own a few of their releases or have just heard of their name in conversation, because let’s […]
I’ve been aware of KHNVM for two reasons. Partly because of the band name, it’s a bit unique or different and I am still in a state of wonder as to what it means and / or what it pertains to. Plus it is also a cool design. The main reason I was drawn to […]
