It took El Salvador’s quite well known Death / Thrash act CONCEIVED BY HATE about four years to come up with some new stuff to follow up their 2016 album “Death & Beyond”. Maybe it’s because they turned from a full band to a solo project of Morbid (or M.Q., as he was named before). […]
For over 20 years INTERNAL SUFFERING has remained true to their sound and consistent in releasing some extreme albums, that can be subjected to the genre. And that is uncompromising, fast and relentless technical brutal Death Metal in its rawest form. The Colombian combo started delivering this rawest and brutal form with their celebrated debut […]
It’s hard to believe that the French cult act AGRESSOR was already making this kind of brutal music back in 1986. Yes, there were already a handful of underground monikers making its homework in terms of brutality around the world (MORBID ANGEL, SADUS, MANTAS / DEATH, PROTECTOR, MESSIAH, SLAUGHTER LORD, OBSCURITY, SARCÓFAGO, NECRODEATH, PENTAGRAM and […]
Incidentally INTERNAL SUFFERING are for sure a candidate for the most boring Death Metal band logo of all times. Their latest full-length is already four years old, but unfortunately this is not a new one. Although I missed “Cyclonic Void Of Power” in 2016, in retrospective that album is one hell of of a technical […]
Since their inception in 2015, Cuban Black Metal band SKJULT have been busy. As of this writing, four albums have been released. Bands take note… Releasing albums on a consistent basis is a good thing. How do you think bands in the 80s and 90s got their name out there? They recorded an album, toured, […]
TOMORROW’S RAIN from Tel Aviv got my attention already some weeks ago when I saw the list of contributors to their debut album “Hollow” which leaves two options. Good network and connections and respect in the underground or just namedropping to promote the material. The first thing seems to be the right one as the […]
This is the third and last album of this one man band from the USA. They play an horrific and unholy form of Death Metal with a strong Doom sensation and a few Black Metal touches to make things worse… like a nightmare! The core sound is not that far from early INCANTATION, PARADISE LOST […]
KOFFIN is a fledgling Estonian band practicing old-fashioned Death Metal with a big sound as we might like watching horror flicks in loud sound, in some place isolated. “Nailed Into The Coffin” is therefore the first demo of this quartet, whose formation dates back to 2019. With a total length of 17 minutes, after a […]
When you hear about Norway and Metal, first thoughts of course bring associations with the golden 90s Black Metal era that everyone knows about, because the paraphernalia that surrounds this topic. But for the ones who have been aware of what’s going on after that, you’ll encounter the 00s stream of Black / Thrash Metal […]
There has been a number of memorable Death Metal bands from Finland and SHRAPNEL STORM keeps up with their country’s reputation. This, their sophomore self-titled album, showcases solid Death Metal. This is heavy as hell and packs a lot of punch. Their lyrical themes rely on war and battles. So, yes, there is a notable […]
