Fridays are for rancid blackened Death Metal, and this is what Polish ERUPTED EVIL is a purveyor of. This is the band’s first full-length album, after releasing one demo in 2018. As written, blackened Death Metal, a solid mix of slowpaced killers and ripping bangers, the band is coming all around the genre with their […]
Finland is known for its aggressive, shrill Black Betal. There’s a particular sound that when you hear it, you know it’s Finnish. VONÜLFSRËICH doesn’t follow that sound. And though I personally adore that country’s form of Black Metal, the band changes it up a little with a less furious atmosphere which is still quite enjoyable. […]
Quite frankly, I was a little bit shocked by this three track demo by DEAD DOG’S HOWL. Because the sound quality takes you back about thirty years in time. A clear and forceful sound, even for self-financed outputs, has become standard during the last ten years. But the duo from Poland consequently follows their own […]
This Polish band was formed in 2013 by mastermind Hern, who started out handling all instruments and vocals himself, though has during the years put together a band, so he mainly is handling the vocals nowadays. “Do Szkarlatnego Czyscca” is an EP released late last year, as a follow-up to the band’s third full-length album […]
In Spanish ‘pistilo’ means instrument used with a mortar to grind things, also a discrete unit in the center of a flower which receives the pollen and produces a fruit. Now, adding that with ‘opium’, many abstract visons popped up while thinking about the origin of this Chilean Death Metal act. PISTILOS OPIUM spawned very […]
VERMISST is a very young Black Metal band from Poznan (Poland), a trio that, despite being formed only in 2018, has already released two demo tapes, a split and an EP. “Zmierzch Stalowej Ciemnosci” is their last effort, an EP released in January 2020 by the Polish label Fallen Temple both in digital and CD […]
Black Metal. No, wait, not that one; but the other, unpolished predecessor of whatever came next. I mean BATHORY, VENOM and you know the rest of the list. VENERATION from Indonesia live in the past and they do it in style. Close your eyes and let “Thy Infernal” take you somewhere beautifully rotten and dangerous. […]
If you would like to know more about Colombia’s excellent BELLS OF ACHERON zine, please check out my reviews on issue 0 – 4 here on the site, because I would probably only repeat myself when I praise the newest issue of this cool underground rag in the same way again and again. BELLS OF […]
Is this the dawn of Satan’s millennium? Though we might actually find out by ourselves in a while, here we do have some candidates for the moment’s OST. Munro, Buenos Aires’s HORDA PROFANA’s second full-length album strikes right between the eyes like pure merciless death. Strong pestilent winds are blowing from the 93 directions as […]
The Tibetan word ‘Bardo’ means literally “intermediate state” – also translated as “transitional state” or “in-between state” or “liminal state”. According to Tibetan tradition, “Bardo” is the state of existence between two lives on earth; after death and before one’s next birth. By nodding this tradition, BARDO METHODOLOGY started off as an online platform, that […]
