When I saw the name of this French group, I supposed it might be some kind of a comedy band like JUDAS PROST – the French seem to be fond of this kind of thing. But I was completely wrong. In “Les Voûtes”, their debut album after having released just an EP with two songs […]
It was nearly two years ago that the first full-length album from THRONEHAMMER crossed my path and really left an impact. “Usurper Of The Oaken Throne” was and still is one of those Epic Doom Metal records that are always a joy to listen to, especially as it has even grown with time. So I […]
If you’re a longtime reader of VOICES FROM THE DARKSIDE you still might remember our staff writer Nhashi, who also used to be one of the main organizers of our 10th anniversary festival back in 2004. Before he joined us as a writer for a couple of years he also contributed to THE PURGATORY OF […]
WRATHRONE are a Death Metal band from Finland. “Eve Of Infliction” is WRATHRONE’s third full-length album and their first outing with Great Dane Records. WRATHRONE have a very simplistic approach, whilst their atmosphere is very HM2 oriented, the rhythm section on the other hand sounds very British old school. If you heard this band randomly […]
These four Danish Death dealers have been around since 2008 and over the years already released five demos, five split releases, four EPs / singles, a live album and five full-lengths, of which “Aldrig I Livet” is their most current one. So, you definitely can’t call them a lazy bunch. Even though a lot of […]
Brutal and crushing old school Death Metal that will make Ross Dolan and Robert Vigna quite proud, if they ever were to give this Sjælland based Danish band a listen. I first came across the band when they released the “Hexagon Vortex” MCD on Ancient Darkness Productions back in 2014 and I think I also […]
The three piece CHAOTIAN from Copenhagen in Denmark is active since 2017 and after two demos they finally release two new tracks in form of the digital single “Adipocere Feast”, which was also released on cassette via Extremely Rotten Productions. The first track ‘Etched Shadows’ goes back to the early 90s and unleashes a dirty […]
A little more than two years ago, the Norwegian MISOTHEIST released their astonishing self-titled first full-length. This album was like a bolt of blackness on a clear blue sky and really hit my nerve. Now the nameless three-piece is back with a new album, once more on Terratur Possessions. “For The Glory Of Your Redeemer” […]
The moniker CO2 is an abbreviation for CAMERA OBSCURA TWO and their present release starts with a sample (“One by land, two by sky…”) from the horror film “Encounter with the unknown” from 1973. The movie was promoted with the slogan “An incredible journey into the supernatural”. I only wish I could say the same […]
“TORTURE RICK, TORTURE RICK, TORTURE RICK”, we were all chanting! At least I was, as I thought that was what the rest of the crowd was screaming. I did think to myself it was a strange name for an uncompromisingly brutal Death Metal band, but again, I had encountered worse names during my ride within […]
