HOUKAGO GRIND TIME is a one man Goregrind project by Andrew Lee. The version being reviewed here is a CD pressing from Selfmadegod Records. Andrew Lee, yes, is the same person behind RIPPED TO SHREDS and a handful of other projects. Clearly he’s had a lot of time this year and has been putting out […]
Unless you’ve been living under a rock the past few years, NECROT really need no introduction. Hailing from Oakland, California, the trio of Luca Indrio (vocals, bass), Sonny Reinhardt (guitars) and Chad Gailey (drums) pummeled our senses with their first full-length “Blood Offering” back in 2017. Their Death Metal blitzkrieg took the Metal world by […]
“Black Thrashing Onslaught” is the first full-length by the one man project THE EYE OF THE NORTH from Bergen, Norway. The album kick starts with ‘Winds Of Death’ and gets to business right away. The vocals are just right for the medium, the guitars (although buried behind the drumming) display a good modern approach while […]
“Mysterivm Cosmographicvm” is the first full-length by ORION from Chile. Their last release was a demo in 2007. In one simple line, I can say this is pretty much the fantastic South American relentless sound everybody absolutely digs! ORION is not winning any awards for inventions, however what they manage to accomplish is to put […]
CONSUMPTION is a new band from Håkan Stuvemark (WOMBBATH) and frequent collaborator Jon Skäre (CROSSBOW SUICIDE, REEK, PERMADEATH etc). So we’ve got a new band from Sweden and you know the history of the members, so you figure there’s more or less an idea of how this could possibly sound. I mean, is this a […]
There are certain bands that bring back memories when you read about them or hear their older tunes. It was back in 1995 when DEATH and BENEDICTION played live in Bremen and a young Metalhead just started to discover all kinds of Death Metal bands and went to the tour busses outside to meet some […]
FUN AT THE MORGUE from Geneve are no newcomers at all. After their first album in 2013 it took them a longer while to unleash their new EP “Hate”. After a horroresque intro the title track ‘Hate’ is a mixture of Death Metal, Hardcore and Grind. The fundament is old school Death Metal while the […]
DARK ZODIAK began their journey of envisioned blend of Thrash and Death Metal back in 2011 and released their debut demo “Throwing Stones” in 2012. Two further full-lengths followed in 2014 and 2017. And now they are back with their third full-length, “Ophiuchus – The Thirteenth Sign Of Zodiac”. The combination of Thrash and Death […]
I guess I don’t need to tell you once again how great the 1980s were for Heavy Metal. Asides from the big bands that became commercially successful or well respected influential acts, there were so many other good to great bands who got nearly forgotten over time. Their albums are hard to get and their […]
At the time of this writing, finding information about BITCHEATER is like searching for a LeMarchand Box at an ABBA convention. Nearly non-existent. So I’ll just write what I know after listening to “Worship Of Satan”. Both the album cover art and the title suggest possibly a War Metal or Black Metal delivery. The band […]
