Over the last decade London’s GRAVE MIASMA has built themselves a reputation as one of the leading European blackened Death / Doom Metal bands with a bunch of solid and high quality releases under their bulletbelts and “Abyss Of Wrathful Deities” is their newest full-length album, waiting to be unleashed upon mankind by Sepulchral Voice […]
“Unusta Kõik” is the debut album of this Black Metal band coming from Estonia with an Italian female guitar player. Although this is a new band, their members have experience in other bands and in other music styles. The final result is a Black Metal band that sounds like old MASTER’S HAMMER, with the obvious […]
German outfit PARASITE has released their third album “Deep Into The Dark” via Rising Nemesis Records. With titles such as ‘Pink Meth’, ‘Hiring A Hitman’ and ‘Marianas Web’ there is an obvious dark / deep web concept behind it, which I found interesting for a Metal release. There has been lots of talk and discussion […]
A vicious uptempo riff immediately assaults your senses and doesn’t let up for the duration of the first song. The opener ‘Aveurnus’ is an uptempo double kicked fuelled, blackened barrage of Black / Death Metal, which has some tasty lead playing and some catchy tremolo and crunching riffing incorporated into it and sets the scene […]
SKULL FIST comes from the Canadian metropolis of Toronto and made its debut in 2006 with an explicitly titled demo called “No False Metal”. Since then they never stopped their heavy motor force and released an EP, a split and three full-lengths to establish their name and sound in the forever roaring and inspiring Canadian […]
With the re-release of the 1987 EP “Ride Into The Night”, Hooked On Metal Records finished their mission to make all the old recordings from legendary Speed Metal masters SAVAGE GRACE officially available again. The original recordings were only available on a picture disc 12” record back in the days and marked the (up to […]
The rather new Swedish label Hooked On Metal Records is one with a mission: making classic Metal records from the 1980s available again. And right now this means putting out all the albums from US Speed Metal legend SAVAGE GRACE anew officially. Two months ago, the two full-length albums “Master Of Disguise” and “After The […]
The German LUNAR SHADOW are an already quite established band by now, as “Wish To Leave” is their third full-length album within four years. Yet the five-piece was unknown to me until I got to hear the songs from “Wish To Leave”. Maybe this was due to the fact that their style of music is […]
Usually Eisenwald Records from Germany are a safe bank when it comes to Black Metal releases, but in this case it is not a new record. Instead “The Stars Are Dead Now” is a re-release and a more than necessary one. First published in 2005 the EP was quickly sold out and several times re-issued. […]
Ok, it gets a little confusing. So, I won’t even try to explain. However, there are two bands named BATUSHKA. Members of both claimed they kicked the other out of the band (well, I guess that’s an explanation, but whatever.) The good news is, fans hopefully get double the amount of albums because of it. […]
