BLACK RABBIT is a Thrash / Death Metal band from Apeldoorn, The Netherlands. Per their biography, BLACK RABBIT have created “Their own thrashing Death Metal sound; fast-paced and groovy at the same time! You could say, it is a toxic concoction of KREATOR and CARCASS.” and it is pretty accurate. This young band from the […]
Founded in 2015 by a group of friends, THEOPHAGIST symbolizes today the reincarnation of a project long believed dead. Picking up where they left off a decade ago, THEOPHAGIST brings to you some of the most engaging Death Metal made in Luxembourg. THEOPHAGIST has its roots in the years 2007 – 2009, when most of […]
NEPHYLIM from the Netherlands are more and less active since 2015. The band went through some serious issues and line-up changes before the current line-up started to record their first full-length back in 2019, which lead to the release of “Severance Of Serenity“ in early 2020. After the intro ‘Reminiscence‘ the first track ‘Forsaken‘ delivers […]
After a break of seven years Germany’s Death Metal Fanzine NECROMANIAC is back with a new effort, which is the 20th anniversary issue at the same time. I always enjoy to read printed fanzines, the more if they offer high quality, in terms of the choice of interviewees, questions, layout design and printing. And quality […]
Edinburgh’s DEATH KOMMANDER sound like war. They sound like death. They sound like one million screaming soldiers dying in the trenches. And you know, judging by their band name, that’s most likely what they’re shooting for. “Pro Patria Mori” (meaning “Die for your country”) is about as clear as clear can get as to the […]
Philip H. Anselmo. There are a lot of things you can say about this man: powerhouse, dopehead, hardcore underground supporter, label owner, “white power“ fool, broken man from New Orleans. Search the internet you will find stories supporting every one of the above mentioned name tags. One thing is for sure: this guy is a […]
DALIT are a Doom / Death band based in Stavanger, Norway. They’ve been active for 14 years now and Moksha is their third full-length. “Moksha” rests itself precariously on the path to genre glory. The band manages to weave some spectacular atmospheric riffs and add in vocal and rhythmic variety as we progress into the […]
I guess, NOCTE OBDUCTA from Germany don’t need too much introduction here. Active since 1995, the band is one of the veterans in the Black Metal scene from Germany and return with album number twelve in form of “Irrlicht” again on Supreme Chaos Records. The opener ‘Zurück Im Bizarren Theater’ offers a raw and punky […]
Right from the very first minute this album is pure joy. At least if you are devoted to Swedish Death Metal. While writing this review I was quite amazed seeing THE GENERALS filed under Death’n’Roll, because on “To Hell” this kind of style from the previous releases is completely gone. Perhaps the vocals or some […]
With JOURS PÂLES, we once again have an example for the blooming French (Post) Black Metal scene that is presented by the very busy Les Acteurs De L’Ombre Productions. This band is a very new project from AORLHAC singer Spellbound and born of the ashes of ASPHODÈLE, named after their only album from 2019. Musically, […]
