AMBUSH is a Heavy Metal band from Sweden and “Infidel” is their third album. They have a really honest approach to the style with no gimmicks whatsoever. Upon my first listening I thought it would be just another Heavy Metal album, but it rapidly grew on me and I had to give it a couple […]
DISMINDED… Is that a real word? No idea. Oh well… The German band’s second album “Beheading The Snake” follows 2015’s debut “Out Of The Ashes” with a gentle roar. It doesn’t burst out of its skin in a rabid rage. It doesn’t smash through a brick wall like a rampaging behemoth. It doesn’t grab you […]
WOMBBATH are veterans in Death Metal and celebrate their 30th anniversary this year with their fourth album “Choirs Of The Fallen”. The opener ‘Fallen’ delivers all trademarks of Swedish old school Death Metal with a modern painting. The classic HM-2 theme gets varied with some damn good Heavy Metal tunes and a killer production. Maybe […]
The triumvirate of TULUS, KHOLD and SARKE means a black metallic mission from the deep north. With members of SARKE and KHOLD, TULUS were formed well before these two names – it was the year 1991. TULUS were only reactivated in 2006, having with this “Old Old Death” arrived as the third album in this […]
Abyss calls life… again! RUIN LUST are one of 20 Buck Spin’s more recent acquisitions and an undeniably crushing force of chaos too. “Choir Of Babel” deserves adjectives starting with an M exclusively: mantric, massive, malignant. ‘The Choir Of Babel’ literally crawls out of the stereo set right before exploding into pounding blasts and fast-yet-sludgy […]
Nearly 20 years after releasing two demos French based Death Metal outfit COLLAPSUS is releasing the first official output, an EP called “Shockwaves Of Decline”. The times are long past when self-financed releases often lacked of solid sound, so the half an hour music is recorded with an adequate quality. About the cover artwork I […]
CARCARIASS comes from Carcharodon Carcharias, the Greek name of the Great White Shark. And it is also the moniker chosen by this French band since 1991. This is their fifth album, and having heard the band since their first album, I must say that without doubt, this is their best material to date. Their style […]
Question: more than 2 million tourists and just 350.000 inhabitants, which country is meant? Iceland – place of longing for many people. And not only for the average holidaymaker but also for musicians inspired by nature. Traceable, since the nature of Iceland is impressive and striking. So imposing that HRAUN from Germany picked the Icelandic […]
Somber Funeral Doom from Portugal, is what this longliving one man band is offering. “Cleansing” is the band’s fourth full-length album. Slow and churning riffs, simple rhythm patters, perhaps a tad too simple here and there, as the music more or less stands still, without expressing much. It is as the atmosphere isn’t being followed […]
Your attention please: all high definition Industrial Blacksters of the beyond are requested to board the aircraft to their dreamland through gate n. 665 now! Unlikely airport calls aside, BORGNE are about to land with their ninth full-length album to date, and I’m pretty sure it’s going to be something to put on some Maybelline […]
