After their 2018 EP “Blinded By Hate”, HATRED DUSK return with a new self-titled full-length released via Mystyk Prod. Already the first tunes show that the guys worked very hard on the new material so ‘Raging Dogs’ became a powerful modern sounding Thrash Metal track with damn good Heavy Metal tunes in the middle and […]
Finnish Death Metal with exclusive textual influence from Mr. H.P. Lovecraft? Pass me some, please! Tampere’s ASSATUR draw their name from Ambrose Pierce’s fantastic divinity, a pretty widespread character in the comics and literary worlds and one which made its way into, of course, the Cthulhu Mythos too. “Where Chaos Reigned” is the band’s second […]
Once upon a time there was a band named OMNITRON, slated a big future, rumors about them signing to Warner and I don’t know what circled the Swedish Thrash Metal underground back then, though nothing really happended.

INFERNÄL MÄJESTY has been blasting our eardrums for a long-ass time. Since 1986, however, the band has only released four full-lengths, the most recent from 2017. But you know what? That’s ok. This album actually consists of 2007’s EP “Demon God” and “Demo 1997”. Two interesting fun-facts about the band… 1) They were previously named […]
Thanks to Vic Records for having resurrected this forgotten gem of Death / Thrash Metal from the ashes of the American underground. CABAL, together with KILLJOY, was one of Frank Pucci’s side projects after the initial breakup of NECROPHAGIA in the early ’90s. Founder and original member of the legendary band NECROPHAGIA, Pucci was one […]
In 1996, after the release of “God Cries” from ASPHYX, Bob Bagchus and Eric Daniels joined forces again and together with Wannes Gubbels from PENTACLE they formed SOULBURN. After the typical 90s intro ‘Enter The Flames Of Soulburn’ the first of two composed tracks ‘Hellish Entrapment’ opens the casket and yes, this is the stuff […]
