CANCERFAUST, can we take a moment to appreciate the name of the band? I bloody love it! I quite like their logo too, yes it reminds us of ENTOMBED but well, it fits right in with the music of this Polish Death Metal band. “Let The Earth Tremble” is a killer slab of Death Metal […]
BESTIAL WARFARE is a Black / Death Metal band from Marburg, Germany. “Desecrating Goat Assault”, their latest EP, is their second release post their demo in 2018. This is quality War Metal, the band’s overall raw sound coupled with the mystic atmosphere is a winning combination here. The atmosphere the band has created on this […]
TRUP, the Polish Black / Death / Sludge / Noise band’s 2020 full-length “Ke” is an amazing artistic expression. The band continues with its naming convention from their earlier release. The first track on “Ke” is titled ’15’ and the album ends with the track ’28’. Moving beyond the obvious, we need to acknowledge this […]
The good thing in working for our legendary magazine (apart from fame, booze and women) is that you always discover bands you might would miss out. Until now I missed out on MAGOTH from North-Rhine Westphalia in Germany. Active since 2011, they celebrate their 10th anniversary with the release of their third album “Invictus” and […]
Due to the fucking pandemic in the world we all have to do without things we love. I guess I’m not the only one who misses going to a live show at least every once in a while. So I try to make up for the missing live gigs by watching concert DVDs. And I’m […]
The New York based DIABHAL are a really new band on the scene, formed in 2019. This full-length album “M M X X“ is their first sign of life and was originally intended to be a four track demo, yet it became a full album during the process of formation. Completely recorded in the home […]
GUERRA TOTAL are a well established name from Colombia, this being their ninth full-length, besides a number of split releases and such. Their productivity has shown some changes in their sound: they began as a really good if somewhat unoriginal Black / Speed Metal band but slowly evolved into heavier Black / Death Metal… not […]
It has been a true pleasure to review this album. Its depth unfolds and expands more with each listen, and I find myself continuing to notice different instrumental nuances which creates a multidimensional and emotional landscape. While “Mære” definitely has its moments of grief, anguish, and in general depressive themes, there is constant forward movement […]
Death Metal, Black Metal and Thrash Metal from Brazil are always a guarantee of sonic violence. I have to admit that I had never heard of INTO THE CAVE from Rio de Janeiro but I wish I had. Here we have 14 songs for almost 38 minutes of pure South American Death / Black / […]
The second wave of Black Metal is still alive and doing well around the globe, here envisioned by the new Australian horde MAZIKEEN. Symphonic Black Metal with a healthy dose of DIMMU BORGIR inspiration, something that not only is shown in the music, but also with the cover version of ‘The Mourning Palace’ from the […]
