Caffeinated soft drink with taurine. Increased caffeine content (32mg / 100ml). Don’t worry, this site is still about music, but the German label Schwarzdorn Production is selling such cans with with the artwork of “True Godfucking Soulblight”. SUFFERING SOULS are a one-man band, having released four albums during the last 20 years and the present […]
I always loved compilations. “Projections Of A Stained Mind” for example is still one of my all time favorite records. I loved Rock Hard’s “Monsters Of Death”, Earache’s unforgettable “Gods Of Grind”, Relapse’s “Corporate Death” (when Relapse was cool and INCANTATION, DECEASED and MORTICIAN were featured) and the first two “Death Is Just The Beginning” […]
During the last few years, a pretty strong and vivid Black Metal scene established in Germany, bringing a lot of pretty interesting bands to light with a great variety of music. But under the widely visible surface there are some still unknown and new acts who indulge in the dark arts as well. One of […]
NAPHOBIA exists for a singular purpose and that’s to have an absolute blast. This Florida band crosses no bridges in songwriting approach or with the overall sound that the band has adopted. They’ve simply taken the average Florida sound and added to it a further sense of horror. There’s nothing incoherent here, no deviations from […]
NOX FORMULAE is a young and interesting Black Metal band from Athens. “Drakon Darshan Satan” is their second full-length album released by the American label Dark Descent Records. Here we have eight songs for almost 40 minutes of pretty unusual Black Metal with a typical occult and satanic imagery. Ok, I have to admit, that […]
LIERS IN WAIT sit on the hinges of immortality and obscurity. Having an already established pathway to the dark art of the Swedish sound, the band delivers the best possible outcome in their transitionary phase between two legendary projects. “Spiritually Uncontrolled Art” leans heavily towards a traditional Florida Death Metal sound. The highlight of this […]
Raw and relentless and quite primitive Black Metal is what this American / Russian band offers, as the cold autumn nights and storms start to appear. With a candid offspring in the likes of VON (though nowhere as evil) and BARATHRUM, which the band has covered twice already, and a hefty dose of brutal vocals […]
CURSED BLOOD is a new horde hailing from the unholy Greece. The members have been involved in bands like DEAD CONGREGATION, NUCLEAR WINTER and BURIAL HORDES so no newcomers at all. Their idea was to create old school Death Metal. The finished product in form of the EP “Taker Of Life” has become a rotten […]
Not every day we have the chance to appreciate the materialization of 20 years of experience into a full album, uncommon but fascinating indeed. As I introduce the present debut of the Polish fiends of GOAT TYRANT, my first impression was all about a right prediction that the 41 minutes through 8 cuts confirmed, another […]
Nearly fallen from my chair during the first seconds of “The Cavernous Ritual Temple”. Obviously BLOODTOMB thought it is a good idea to start off with a deep guttural scream from the very depth of hell, supported by high speed drumming and aggressive guitar leads. So it was right clear from the beginning where the […]
