Damn! I’ve been hooked by VALGRIND since some time, and these underrated Italian wolves came back this, after their astonishing album “Blackest Horizon”, with another sequel called “Condemnation”, coronating their fourth full-length. At first, the cover art gave me the impression that the music would be lighter and diffuse because of the opaque palette on […]
PERDITION TEMPLE hail from Tampa, Florida and “Sacraments Of Descension” is their third album. And although the band has current members and ex – members from bands such as ANGELCORPSE, ARES KINGDOM and MALEVOLENT CREATION, this was the first time I’ve heard anything from them. And I am ashamed of that last statement. This is […]
Valparaíso, is a port city on Chile’s coast. It’s known for its steep funiculars and intriguing, clifftop homes and former residence of Chilean poet Pablo Neruda. However, those Chileans formed SOULROT in 2013, nowhere near interested about surroundings or Pablo Neruda, rather laid down their souls to thy uncanny summoners of cosmogenic horror and preternatural […]
You don’t hear very often of Iceland producing an abundance of Black Metal bands. Sure, there are excellent bands such as THULE, but they’re few and far between. DYNFARI has been around for ten years and have produced five albums, which says alot for their productivity. That’s a consistent amount which keeps the fans listening. […]
FROSTVORE, a horde hailing from Japan, are unleashing their first beast in form of “Drowned In Blood”. The band has been active already since 2012 under the moniker FROSTBIDE and changed the name to FROSTVORE. Japan is pretty well-known for loving Metal, especially classic Heavy Metal and melodic Death Metal but FROSTVORE took a different […]
“Tyranni” is the second full-length album from Sweden’s AVSLUT, but you wouldn’t know it. They possess a tight precision and songwriting mastery that is usually reserved for bands of a particular patina. “Tyranni” starts off in a style that is reminiscent of early DIMMU BORGIR or DARK FUNERAL. It leads you to believe it’s going […]
Switzerland’s Death / Thrash mongers MESSIAH return after a lengthy 26-year absence from releasing new material with a new 3 song EP that is sure to set the pace for their upcoming full-length album “Fracmont” (release date in Sept 2020 via High Roller Records). The band has been around since the early 1980s cranking out […]
“Fracmont” is the sixth full-length album by the legendary Swiss Death / Thrash Metal band MESSIAH. The album will be officially released in September 2020 by the German label High Roller Records. You know, MESSIAH was formed in 1984 and this is their first studio album in 26 years. I have to admit that I’ve […]
Death Metal veterans INCANTATION surely don’t need an introduction to any self respecting Death Metal fan, especially those who love their Death Metal with its rotten roots firmly in the old school and swathed in darkness, morbidity and in league with Satan. INCANTATION have remained extremely consistent since their debut album “Onward To Golgotha” was […]
There have been members at one point or another in the band, but Reaver has been the mastermind behind North American Black Metal outfit, GRAVESPAWN, since its inception back in 2004. And so has been his vision of releasing a raw and corrosive type of music. “The Elder Darkness”, the third full-length in the band’s […]
