There’s something exciting about finding out a Black Metal band is from Finland. The chaotic, blasphemous insanity in the country’s style is, more often than not, quite compelling. So after discovering that one-man band PROFANE CONGREGATION hails from there, my interest was peaked. Their only full-length to date, “Apocalyptic Visions”, doesn’t necessarily have that Finnish […]
Sometimes it can be quite good to be hit by a dusty nostalgic fist to the face. This fist is what Serbian Unholy Carnager delivers with his one man battle machine ANGELGOAT. A trip back in time, when almost all Second Wave Of Black Metal releases from Scandinavia and Finland kicked serious omnious arse. It […]
“Demonic Goat Smegma Eating Ritual” is the first effort from the Tallinn based War Metal band GOATSMEGMA. It was originally released on tape format by the Estonian label Trash Can Dance in 2018 (limited to 48 copies). Here we have the CD reissue (limited to 500 copies) released in December 2019 by the Polish label […]
Being honest on this one, at first sight I thought that it is going to be another low-quality Black Metal demo, but I was so embarrassingly wrong… In order to contextualize, MORBID WINDS are a Polish trident of fiends involved in other acts as THRONEUM, NECROSADIST, MOLOCH LETAILS and MORDHELL, amongst a bunch of other […]
“Abysmal Echoes”, which was released in 2019 but recorded in 2015 already, marks ABHORROT’s debut full-length record after plenty of demos, EPs and splits. While metal-archives.com sates the band is still active, I believe that with the initial release of “Abysmal Echoes” the band called it quits. Since I really enjoyed their 2014 EP “Sacrificial […]
“Sahar” is the third full-length by Serbian Black Metallers ZLOSLUT. Founded in 2010 by Agnarion, originally as a one-man band and only from 2016, ZLOSLUT has a full line-up and is growing profoundly with a considerable number and types of releases to spread their own take on spirituality, philosophy and occultism. “Zloslut” is a Serbian […]
“Apocalyptic Raids”, the one and only EP from Switzerland’s HELLHAMMER, has been re-issued quite a few times over the years. But all those new editions always differed in one way or another from the original version, which was released on vinyl via Noise Records for the very first time way back in 1984. The first […]
Again a Morbid Chapel release (see ANCIENT WISDOM review), again no proper information about the artist. What does that mean for me? “Hey you are into it so find out for yourself? Go-go Inspector Clouseau?” or “promotion is for wimps, please leave the hall?” Come on! Well, ok, loupes out and let’s see what I […]
Last year NAGLFAR returned to the scene after a long break of seven years and played a live tour which showed them in a pretty good and tight shape as I was lucky enough to finally see them live after all the years of worshipping them. So, no wonder that they finally return with full-length […]
PAZUZU is a Death Metal band from Costa Rica. And “Revenant of Blasphemies” is their debut demo tape, now available in CD version courtesy of the German label Dunkelheit Produktionen. There are 3 songs plus intro and outro, clocking at 20 minutes. I was really surprised by this release. Besides the amazing cover artwork (in […]
