Maybe the name ACID REIGN sounds familiar to some Metalheads and yes, the band from England was founded back in 1985 and released two albums in the late eighties / early nineties. “The Age Of Entitlement” is the follow-up to the band’s last full-length “Obnoxious”, dating back to 1990.

“Hidden History Of The Human Race” is the second full-length album from the American band BLOOD INCANTATION, recently released by Century Media Records. Almost 36 minutes of technical and progressive Death Metal, strongly influenced by Sci-Fi, aliens and spacey themes. All concentrated in four long songs with one of them that lasts 18 minutes. These […]
TRUP means corpse in Polish, as far as I understand, and this Polish trio does reek of death, decay and destruction. The ensemble is presenting us a noisy raw punkish Black Metal attack full of hatred and disgust. The atmosphere is dark and grimy and quite brutal and in our face. The album is about […]
They say cleanliness is next to godliness. Well, SENTIENT HORROR are here to prove the Death Metal cosmos their affection for that wise saying. Stockholm (!), New Jersey’s combo’s second full-length album is a work of complete instrumental precision and a fast, no-nonsense display of passion for EDGE OF SANITY and even some CARCASS for […]
French Death Metal quintet NIHILISM founded in 2009. They released their first six track demo EP “Twelve Thousand” in 2011. A few years later, in 2014, the split LP “Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed” with DEHUMANIZE was released. After releasing both records independently, in 2016 NIHILISM released their debut full-length “Beyond Redemption” in co-operation […]
EMPYREAL VAULT, emerged from the technical Death Metal scene of Bordeaux, France and “Empyreal Vault”, their debut full-length was recently released in co-operation with Great Dane Records. “Empyreal” meaning of the highest heavens and “Vault” a chamber typically hidden underground; like two worlds blended together, here they merged some tech Death influences with Deathcore and […]
Croatian Death Metal machine HEREZA (who relocated to Germany a few years ago), has released “Death Metal Drunks”, their third album, via Gods Of War Productions. These guys have built a pretty good name in the underground so far, since their previous albums were solid, although they still needed a little work, in my humble […]
The promotion says “They won’t stop until the total world domination. Beware the unholy power of the UNDEAD… the hunting has begun!”. Well, I am not convinced, but let’s take one thing at time. “Existential Horror” is the debut by Death Metal outfit UNDEAD, based in United Kingdom and Spain. Founded in the year 2013 […]
Ever since the very first Black Metal albums I bought, I’ve always loved the American scene more than the Scandinavian one. The same goes for the Greek and the South American ones, if compared to the bands coming from the extreme north of Europe. These three scenes, in my opinion, had in the early days […]
This split gathers LOATHFINDER, from Poland, and DRUJ, from the USA, the first with three tracks and the second with two, but all of them rather long. LOATHFINDER play a kind of Black / Death / Doom Metal, very heavy and ponderous. The production is great, offering a surrounding mood full of distorted downtuned stringwork […]
