TFB (stands for Task Force Beer) is a Death / Grind five piece from Germany, that came together in 2015. Composed of members who are featured in regional (Rhineland-Palatinate) bands of similar styles, they started TFB as a three piece project in November 2015, and at the end of 2016 had become a six troop […]
ANCIENT FLAME is a one dude band, and he likes it epic and old – gallopping and wagnerian BATHORY style. More druids than vikings though, but the same forest and mountain area. And he likes these Norwegians IMMORTAL and their look-to-the-sky-with-the-chin-streched-forward-and-make-an-utterly-grim-and-frostbitten-face… the Abbathian way: more the horns-up than the rotorbanging parts, although here and there […]
About two years ago, I was introduced to the German band WECKÖRHEAD and their EP “Für Lemmy”. Their tribute to the mighty MOTÖRHEAD was, still is and will always be a joy for silly old me who loves the music of Lemmy for nearly forty years now. The four songs of this EP, classic MOTÖRhits […]
VALRAVN is a one man Black Metal band from the United States with Nachtgeist taking care of all instruments and vocals. And “Eclipse Of Heathen Winds” is their 2020 debut demo. It was released digitally but also on a limited tape version of 100 copies by Morbid Chapel Records. There are 4 tracks and a […]
CONTAMINATION are a Death / Thrash Metal band from Germany. They haven’t been exceedingly productive when it comes to quantity, considering the band has existed for twelve years and has a demo and an album to its name before the present release. Judging from this new offering, however, they make up for it in quality. […]
What the winds of war brought this time on a convulsed year, is another strike from a yet experimented band. With 4 full albums at their rear and a handful of lesser releases, DECAYING follows the same path as HAIL OF BULLETS, BOLT THROWER, PENTACLE and the last gunshots of ASPHYX. As you can imagine, […]
Back in 1986, at the age of 22, a young Tom Gabriel Fisher (better known as Tom G. Warrior) wrote the first part of what was supposed to become a three-part Requiem. The first part of it, ‘Rex Irae (Requiem)’, ended up on the 1987 CELTIC FROST album “Into The Pandemonium” one year later and […]
“Let’s Start A War” is the fifth full-length album of the Chicago based pioneering Death Metal band MASTER. It was originally released in 2002 by the German label System Shock and it’s the first album that marks the entry of this legendary American band in its Czech phase. Here we have an album reissue recently […]
I do not like the name of the band. I do not like their logo. And I am not that fond on their artwork on this release either. Everything else in this release is AWESOME and that you must get it now. I can end the review here. But then again, that is not exactly […]
This is the fifth album from this Austrian band. They say their style is that of industrial Black Metal with Death Metal touches. The final result is not far away from MARDUK in essence, maybe sometimes reminding of REVENGE in execution, with subtle melody embedded here and there, and basically involved in all speed assault […]
