Four figures standing on a hill. Dressed in the trendy fashion of the late eighties, with cowboy boots and fringes on their leather jackets. Not to forget the white leather jacket and hairstyles looking like the guys in EUROPE… Our four friends, dressed in their immaculate evening rocker outfits, stand on the hill and look […]
Black Metallers JERUZALEM have taken their time. Formed in 2006, they’ve kept a low profile for nearly two decades now, releasing only a demo and an EP before finally releasing their debut full-length. “Utrpení, Oběti A Kati Celibáti”. This album doesn’t sound like a late arrival, actually, it sounds more like something that has been […]
MOUTH OF MADNESS is a German Black Metal band that was formed in 2013, having released their self-titled debut in 2016, the group has recently returned from a long hiatus to issue their debut full-length, “Event Horizon”, through Darkness Shall Rise Productions. MOUTH OF MADNESS is not a conventional sounding Black Metal band. Rather than […]
Here we have “Cryptic Aura”, the new full-length album from AZURE EMOTE. An album that steps into a new territory, combining Death Metal with tons of experimental sounds. An album not for passive listening. It demands your attention, urging you to lose yourself in the dark, intricate corners it has inside. Unlike their earlier releases, […]
NIGHTBEARER is a band that I have never heard of before. So, I hit that “Play button” and a classical guitar intro showed up. That was interesting! All of a sudden, something like Black Metal came in, even though I was expecting to hear a Death Metal band. Not much longer, Death Metal (melodic) brushes […]
If you are an avid reader of this webzine and do not miss a review, you will certainly remember the Singaporeans FYRAUN. Their first full-length “Kings Ov Kings” is an explosion of Death / Thrash that leaves no prisoners. If you are a fan of the raw and unrelenting sound that characterised extreme Metal between […]
SARCOPHAGUM from Australia emerged in 2021 as a studio only project by the members of GOLGOTHAN REMAINS (past and present) and the ASHEN HORDE drummer. It’s been just over two years since they released their three track EP “Conduits To The Underworld” through Nuclear Winter Records and now following up with a new collection of […]
Hailing from a country most people would not necessarily associate with extreme Metal, Costa Rica’s NECROFERUM are now presenting us with an EP, which is their first official release. The band only started in 2023; all four members, however, were active in other Costa Rican bands before, mostly from the spectrum of Death Metal. “Visions […]
The Japanese band name can best be translated as “Mr. Poop”, which is not necessarily the typical Black Metal moniker. If the valued readership thinks of Grindcore, they are not that wrong. However, you would be wrong if you thought that a band with a Japanese name and Japanese song titles comes from Japan. Instead, […]
