AUTOMB is a USBM outfit. Their debut album “Esoterica” came out in 2018 and “Chaosophy” is their sophomore album. First off, I was intrigued by their front woman Danielle. Her vocals are more of a growl than the usual high pitched shriek associated with this sub genre, which was a very welcomed detail. She is […]
My favorite word in that funny clown language known as Finnish is “Kalsarikännit”. It means getting drunk in your underwear with no intention to leave the house and if that isn’t one of the most beautiful things imaginable, then I don’t know what is. This random piece of information is not connected to RUHO in […]
NACHTLIEDER, hailing from Gothenburg, is the brainchild of Swedish musician Dagny Susanne. The new EP “Views From The North Vol. 1”, was recorded during 2018 which represents an earlier stage in Susanne’s musical discourse and consists of old unreleased material produced between 2009 – 2016. With a strong foundation of releases, a self-titled debut in […]
SOLOTHUS from Turku in Finland have been unknown to me so far even though they return with their already third full-length after four years. The opening track ‘Father Of Sickness’ is Doom / Death at its best. It took me a while to get into the deep grunts which are not common in this kind […]
You’ve got to give LORD GORE credit for being interesting. The album cover of “Scalpels For Blind Surgeons”, although really cool, is actually less crazy than their other two. Featuring some sort of brain-looking thing with spikes protruding from it, the art is an eye-catcher. They’re even more attention-inducing on earlier covers “Resickened” (with bloated […]
Thirty minutes of Death Metal! This is what you will find in this new split release by French act ATAVISMA and USA’s VOID ROT. Under Italy’s Everlasting Spew Records, this new stuff was launched some weeks ago. Its title? Just “Atavisma / Void Rot”. The first half belongs to ATAVISMA. This kicks off with a […]
BEHEMOTH churchgoers take notice! “Transmorgrification – Partus” by NOMAD features not one, not two but three actual members from the aforementioned Death Metal rockstars. Originally formed in 1994 by Patrick Bilmorgh (aka Seth) and Waldemar Twardowski (also known by the charming warname of Bleyzabel Balberith), NOMAD have proved to be fairly productive, pulling out no […]
Texas Death Metal stalwarts SEVERANCE have been cranking out the jams with demos since the late 80s / early 90s. The band has had its share of line-up changes in the 30+ years they have been together but the one constant has been the heavy hitting skinsman Jaime Perez (no relation to the reviewer). The […]
ETHEREAL EXILE is a new band from Poland and this full-length is the band’s debut. It is both available as digital download and Compact Disc. In my eyes the color of the cover looks a bit weird, reminding me of the latest remake of “The colour from outer space”. When it comes to the aspect […]
Here’s something for all those who love to travel into the depths of sorrow and back. DEATH THE LEVELLER hail from the country of Ireland, a place where Doom Metal of the melodic kind such as MOURNING BELOVETH or personal fave THY SINISTER BLOOM (but also more abrasive acts like WRECK OF THE HESPERUS) blooms […]
