It’s rare when you find a band that’s been in such a diverse set of countries… Mexico, France and Canada. However, somehow SEROCS have managed that. In slightly over a decade, they’ve released four full-lengths, along with the new EP “Vore”. Providing us with brutal Death Metal that’ll rip your feble eardrums out, SEROCS are […]
As the world is coming down there is nothing more appropriate for this current uncertain times of madness and sickness than a Funeral / Doom / Death opus. Finland’s CONVOCATION has heard this call and has just released their second album, “Ashes Coalesce”. Under Everlasting Spew Records, this massive work of Doom, Death and grief […]
I don’t know what remedies these Romans have used to come up with this album and lyrical universe, though they’ve been looking into another world, than the one I am currently residing in. Psychedelic progressive post Black Metal influenced Death Doom Metal with some odd twists here and there. BEDSORE is building their music upon […]
FELLWARDEN is a British Black / Folk Metal duo comprised of Frank Allain (aka The Watcher, vocals, guitars and keyboards) and Pete Aplin (aka Heavenless, drums). Both of them also play in FEN, another British outfit that plays atmospheric Black Metal / Post Rock. So, one may assume that both bands could or would sound […]

German Metallers SAVAGE BLOOD, with only one prior EP release, have created a full-length that swings back to the glory days of battles in a Power Metal vein while still sounding modern. In a genre that continues to push the boundaries into what’s heavy, and more extreme sounds, SAVAGE BLOOD give a ‘fuck you all” […]
This split tape joins SILURE, a French Black / Death Metal band (whose name is actually a type of catfish for some reason), and Chilean Deathsters FERETRO. SILURE’s side offers their 2019 EP (and only release before this tape), which had only been digitally available, under the title “Route De Troche”. Their total time doesn’t […]
Amongst the great amount of Doom Metal bands from the 90s, PALE DIVINE is one of those that has been following the same path through their 25 years of pure experience in the underground without derailing at all from the road. So, “Consequence Of Time” could be an allegoric title for a clear evolution of […]
The American STYGIAN CROWN, which consists of members of MORGION, GRAVEHILL and MORBID ECLIPSE, comes here with their eponymous debut: an amalgamation of Doom and Death. They gave their style the term “Candlethrower”. A contraction of CANDLEMASS Doom and BOLT THROWER’s Death Metal. It sounded interesting, but must admit that, initially I had no expectations. […]
The five piece HEBOÏDOPHRENIE from the French port city Bordeaux is already active for a decade by now, yet mostly unnoticed. One album, released in 2013 and only available digitally might be a reason that the French escaped notice.
