This German band has roots firmly in the old school Thrash Metal spirit and does not swerve one bit from their path. This EP is essentially 4 re-recorded tracks from their last full-length “God May Show You […]
CRROMBID TRAXORM is a progressive Thrash / Death band from Russia that has an unmistakable approach to Metal. Right from the intro the band is in an overdrive mode to just break things up.

BLESSED BY PERVERSION is a Greek Death Metal band that has now been active for just over a decade. “Remnants Of Existence” is their second full-length release and their first with Iron, Blood And Death Corporation.

Although HALTER, also from Russia, have a more modern approach towards Doom Metal. Just listen to the production, a clear and […]
MUR is a band from Paris, signed to the famous record company Les Acteurs De L’Ombre Productions, who always pick up the cream of the creative French underground Black Metal scene. This could easily be the start of another quite euphoric review on one more fine new band. But in fact it isn’t. And the […]
Even though a new album from the mighty ASPHYX should be (and in fact was) a sure-fire success, I will tell you something more about “Necroceros”. Not only because I really love everything they did after the restart in 2007, but also because “Necroceros” is the best album they did since then, in my humble […]
