One look at the Russian band DIG ME NO GRAVE’s new album cover, is enough to guess what’s awaiting inside: old school Death Metal with horrid atmosphere. Take a look at that cover! It’s an immediate invitation to read “Imprisoned With The Pharaohs”- the shivering short story by H. P. Lovecraft and Harry Houdini and […]
Vudú Revolution. At first, you may consider this as something that can be explained as a revolt by Voodoo or some type of ritualistic way to practice and learn the art of Voodoo and its implication to conjure or possess or to fight spirits, for noble or evil purpose. However, it’s no wonder, the Colombians of […]
Very raw sounding Death / Doom is what this obscure Finnish entity deal in or dealt in rather, they were only around for a short period of time back in the early 90s. It sounds very of its time and I immediately warmed to the honesty of their compositions. Excellent catchy melodies which cut through […]
The open secret of communication is not only about what you speak out or express, but also about how it could be understood. And if anyone not in the slightest wants to listen to this album because the cover reminds of a swastika, I have full understanding for that opinion. Since I do not think […]
Everytime someone recommends a Grindcore band, I usually pass. Good old Grindcore done the good old way is really hard to find nowadays. Power Violence, Hardcore Punk, Mathcore and all their variants and mixes are more associated with Grindcore than I would like it to be. But don’t take it from me, an old fart […]
ROTTEN BRAIN is a French Death Metal band and this is their second demo. This release sees the addition of Eddy Polo, a full time drummer for the band. This self-financed demo clearly sounds like what a good self-financed demo ought to be, a buzzsaw of downtuned cavernous riffs coupled with good drumming. This is […]
With one of the greatest band names in Death Metal history, THOSE WHO BRING THE TORTURE have unleashed their seventh full-length since 2007. Pretty impressive. Even more impressive is the number of bands vocalist Rogga Johansson (also guitars and bass) has been involved with. Let’s see, he’s been in…You know what? It’s probably easier to […]
Although the moniker BLACK GOAT sounds rather clumsy and uninspired, the music itself is the complete opposite. The band is active since 1999 and the discography shows a huge amount of demos, split releases and compilations. And while it took 17 years to release the debut full-length “The Ultimate Revelation” in 2016, only four years […]
LES CHANTS DE NIHIL’s “Le Tyran Et L’Esthète” is the fifth full-length by the French Black Metal band and their first outing with Les Acteurs De L’Ombre Productions. This is an epic concept album. You can see the album is divided across IV Acts and each act is defining an inherent timeline in the storyline. […]
Astrogrind. Do you need an explanation? DEPHOSPHORUS hailing from Athens, Greece is a very noisy and outstanding outfit. Finding it difficult to properly label what style of music they perform, they opted for the tag of “Astrogrind.” Well if the fourth album from this Greek outfit is anything to go by, it’s a noisy and […]
