NERVE SAW is a new band featuring ex – HOODED MENACE bassist and live vocalist Markus Makkonen. His latest project doesn’t deal in sluggish Doom / Death, but old school punked up blackened crusty Death Metal, which is full of buzzsaw riffing and furiously fervent tempos with his vocals being of the savage screamed variety, […]
I have spent more than a few years indulged in NWOBHM, if we have to do a total count, and that is why I become instantly happy, when I put on an album as “Vol. 2” with the British band SKYRYDER, as they have spent a day or two listening to NWOBHM before picking up […]
FLUISTERAARS from the Netherlands are active for more than a decade now, so it is no wonder that their new material in form of their third full-length “Bloem” sounds very matured. ‘Terre Muur’ starts pretty seventies influenced but quickly shows the fundament of their music. The two members Bob and Mink created good classic Scandinavian […]
Swedish Heavy Metal delivered on one of the best Heavy Metal labels around these days! Classic melodic Heavy Metal with a focus on big melodies, catchy and driving rhythm patterns and very hooking vocal lines and great choruses. We even get a track in Swedish ‘Ge Allt’ on this four track EP, which is the […]
Bremen’s own LUCIFUGE are one of the busiest bees in Metal at the moment.

Alejandro “Starkey” Restrepo (ex – ANTAGON) on guitars, Alexander “Barzuth” Arroyave (ex – AGRESSOR) on vocals and Luis Guillermo Ramírez (ANTAGON) on session bass completed […]
MIDNIGHT – maybe not the most original name for a band and taking a look at the monicker, which is rather plain and simple, plus the short running time you can get an impression of what the music might sound like. The opening track is titled ‘Fucking Speed And Darkness’ and this is all what […]
This French “Friday The 13th” worshipping Death Metal band is ready with their first full-length album, following their quite good debut EP “Chapter One” from 2017. This is tales about the demented and the fear and death they spread, here personified by Jason Voorhees from the beautiful “Friday The 13th” movies, from back in the […]
KONVENT, an all female Death / Doom band from Denmark have been creating quite abit of a buzz on the scene in recent times, and the cause of that buzz is this, their debut full-length album “Puritan Masochism”.
