When the news circulated that Soulseller Records announced the signing of DOLD VORDE ENS NAVN and that their debut EP "Gjengangere I Hjertets Mørke" is scheduled for release and will unleash 20 minutes of pure northern magic, it was enough to take a deep dive into this release. Seeing that this new breed from Oslo […]
There are 14 bands named ETERNITY per Metal Archives. So it was easy for me to at first think I was going to be listening to the German band of which I was already familiar. Then I realized I was listening to the band from Norway and it all made sense as I thought they […]
EVOKED, a German Death Metal outfit, had released a demo, a split and an EP so far before "Ravenous Compulsion", their debut album. Now, style wise, this album has its foundation in NWOSDM. As in everything in life, this fact has its pros and cons. This sub genre has been used and abused, successfully and […]
KEITZER is a Death Metal band from Germany that has been around for a while now, and this is in fact their seventh album, "Where The Light Ends", with a suitable grim reaper cover artwork (in this case hinting at the classical world, with armour, sword and wings and facing a Medusa head), and it’s […]
From the city of Zürich in the heart of Switzerland comes the (at least to me) pretty new Black Metal two-piece UNGFELL. Founded in 2014 by Menetekel, who is responsible for all instruments except drums, the band released some recordings on an independent basis to date, mainly in digital form. Last year, Eisenwald took care […]
Since the band’s homepage is written in Japanese and the label’s homepage simply provided no information I asked the internet. Once more the slogan never trust the internet confirmed its validity.

Raw German Black Metal on a rainy Wednesday, at least if you’re situated in the north of Denmark! This is the band’s fifth full-length album, and they’ve been through a great progression from the early days of grim, raw and quite primitive Scandinavian styled Black Metal until now, where the music has become quite more […]
There has been a lot of talks about the Canadian horde PANZERFAUST and their fourth album “The Suns Of Perdition – Chapter I: War, Horrid War”, which was released this summer by Eisenwald Productions. The album is a tough ride as it is quite difficult to describe their material. For some it is clearly Black […]
Swedish SORCERY released their debut album back in 1991… they were part of that incredible Death Metal invasion from Sweden… and then, silence. They returned again in 2009 and in 2011 they released a new album “Arrival At Six”, which I must admit, although loyal to the style, had a sound, specially in the vocals, […]
It is not often that we come across Metal from India, for some strange reasons. I guess a country with that size and such a population count should be able to produce a killing Metal band or 120… KAPALA hails from India and delivers Black noisy and raw War Metal. This is the band’s second […]
