Formed way back in 2002 in Peru, this is the third album of evil, melodic Black Metal that only in South America can be forged in the very flames of hell! To start with the production, it is great, with a very strong guitar sound. Also the performance is very good. The music style is […]
The band’s name derives from the act of bowing your knee to the ground and using this metaphor the second full-length by GENUFLEXION is a profound bow to the second wave of Black Metal. Especially the sound is a heavy reminder of the famous EMPEROR / ENSLAVED split release from 1993. Only the corpse paint […]

Argentina’s HERMON originally formed in 1993, broke up in 1996, then reformed in 2018. That’s a bizarre active history for a band.

‘Condor’ means vulture, the biggest one to reign in the Andean mountains. Two such condors also reign in the underground, one certainly is the Norwegian Thrash / Black act, part of the Kolbotn Thrashers union; another one is the Death / Doom force from Bogota, Colombia. CÓNDOR (with members of SIETE LAGUNAS) play a captivating […]
ASPHYX, AUTOPSY, CATHEDRAL and CIANIDE combinedly define everything about the genre Death / Doom Metal.
