Anybody in my age knows this from the past, those times when there was no internet and all those sites: you read the name of a band and you immediately knew you had to check them out, cause it sounded cool. A name was, along with the cover artwork, a nice indicator for great Metal […]
Formed as PURGATORY UNLEASHED back in 2014, this band based in France although with an American vocalist, presents their debut album of brutal Death Metal in the American vein where DEICIDE, MALEVOLENT CREATION, IMMOLATION and early MORBID ANGEL are the names. They also do have strong evil Thrash elements in the vein of the SODOM […]
I was a big follower of the Polish scene back in the 90s. I ordered many great demos from there like “Morbid Reich” from VADER or “Invisible Circle” from ARMAGEDON just to name a few, and most of the time they were always killer. Death Metal coming from Poland in those days had something in […]
With POPIÓŁ (Polish for “ash”), we have a new band from Southern Poland. Two years of composing and rehearsing passed after their formation in 2017 until they released their first sign of life with a full-length album called “Zabobony” (means “superstition”). Musically, the five-piece is dedicated to Pagan and Folk Metal, yet they spiced up […]
HELL’S CORONATION are hailing from Gdansk in the north of Poland. The duo has alrealy released some EPs and finally are ready to unleash their unholy first full-length via Godz Ov War Productions. Starting with the disturbing intro ‘Levitating In Tarry Fog’ they already spread an unholy atmosphere making me expect an infernal Black Metal […]
There’s nothing like primitive, chaotic dungeon Metal. I mean, what do we all listen to Metal for in the first place? We want the loudest, most barbaric form of energy release we can possibly handle. KOMMANDO BAPHOMET brings it to us one thousandfold. I wanna feel like I’m in the middle of the most disastrous […]
Are you ready for some sulphurous detonations right between your left and right ear? I hope you are, cause BRAHMASTRIKA are going to take no prisoner! Little is known about this duo except for their headquarter, currently located in Calcutta, India. It’s basically impossible to track down their identity, email address or even just the […]
CRYPTIC BROOD are a bunch of sick fucks who seem to love raiding cemeteries all across Europe (and also Asia if I’m not mistaking) in order to being constantly ‘Mantled With The Stench Of Death’ which somehow enables them to come up with their sick and depraved “sinphonies” of death and decay. Imagine ‘Wading Through […]
The German language has always been attractive for many bands from different genres, this time it is AHLSPIESS from Costa Rica. The band’s name is the German word for awl pike, a medieval weapon to pierce through the gape of plates of heavy armored knights. So metaphorically spoken AHLSPIESS are piercing the eardrums of the […]
I wasn’t familiar with this old Armenian Heavy Metal act. AYAS used to be active in the mid of the eighties and have released one album in 1988 under the title “Yerkink U Yerkir”. Later, in 1991, they launched a 7 tracks demo and split up some years later. I Hate from Sweden have just […]
