The Hungarian duo WITCHER formed in 2010 and till now, have produced a handful of splits, demos and EPs, as well as two albums. Since the beginning, they have materialized a heavily synthesizer-oriented project delivered with the true spirit of Black Metal. Each of their past releases reflected that, and their 2012 EP “Néma Gyász”, […]
CONGENITAL DEFORMITY is a one man band from Italy. “Progenies Of The Cemetery” is the first release by this project. Originally released as a demo in 2019, the version being reviewed here is the repress by Morbid Chapel Records who’ve released this both in digital and physical formats. The physical copy is limited to 500 […]
Aggressive Greek Death Metal straight into your face, from this Athens based duo. This is their second release, an EP released by Repulsive Echo Records, also based in Athens. MISANTHROPY APOTHEOSIS started out by releasing the full-length album “Black Death Euphoria” by themselves, back in 2018 on Bandcamp and CD-R. That album is quite classic […]
A split from two vicious acts, Canadian thrashy Speed Metal demons RIOTOR, that have released 3 smashing and violent full-length albums stuffed with brutal thrashy Speed Metal, raw, shredding and to the bone. Their brothers in arms from Germany, VAE VICTIS, are a tad darker and more gloomy, they are smashing their side of the […]
The 80s were probably the best decade for extreme Metal. Many bands developed this music genre in new and unexpected forms and only a few of them are regarded as cult acts. On the other hand, there were acts whose impact was seen as modest at the time and is just in the current times […]
Writing reviews never gets boring. Sometimes I feel like some kind of profiler or private eye to get the picture of a release. CONSTRUCT OF LETHE were formed by Tony Petrocelly because he had written material for the other bands he was involved, namely BETHLEDEIGN, XAOC and DEAD SYNDICATE. Since all these bands split-up or […]
An aggressive, brutal and at times chaotic blend of Black and Death Metal, INFER’s “Aeon Of Deathless Blight” is an album to be reckoned with. It demands quite a bit of attention, which is not typical of Black Metal. The slow chord changes that can almost lull you into a state of transcendence aren’t found […]
After a boring bell-ringing intro the second full-length by ULVEN starts with a commemorative Mika Luttinen scream (‘Karmageddon Warriors’ by IMPALED NAZARENE), but the one-man band from the USA is far away from the sheer madness of the Finnish madmen. Shortly after three minutes the speed decelerates and the song ends up in a boring […]
A one man band formed in 2018 and split-up in 2020… so not much of a history behind it. The music style is lo-fi Black / Death Metal with horrific low growling vocals and a barrage of noise and guitars that can also be related to War Metal bands. Early INCANTATION, touches of BLASPHEMY and […]
Another work from this one man band from the USA, still playing horrific downtuned and grotesque Death / Black / Doom Metal, that this time is more in the INCANTATION, IMMOLATION, old CELTIC FROST vein, still at times sounding like Australian War Metal bands, and an obvious evil Grindcore vibe. The guitar sound is quite […]
