South America has always been a go to place for fierce, aggressive and brutal Metal, and it always seemed like, the more brutal and dark the genre has been, the more frantic and aggressive the music has been. EVIL HATRED is a band born out of the ashes of THY SERPENT’S CULT, a band that […]
Unburied… from a somewhat predictable death. Yes, DEVOURMENT in 2010 is actually the prequel to FURBOWL… so, at least 20 years have passed since the band was formed. This vinyl 7" EP was just resurrected to show a rehearsal of the band, with a decent sound, and to expose their form of Death Metal they […]
Good news: DEVOURMENT are back and in very good form with their fifth full-length album. Almost 47 minutes of slamming brutal Death Metal under the title "Obscene Majesty" and recently released by Relapse Records. Yes, if you’re into this kind of extreme and ultra heavy Death Metal sound, this album is made for you. It’s […]
Death Metal is a zombie with eternal life. As a matter of fact, this subgenre’s original premise concerns the exposition of death’s most heinous, dreadful and abominable aspects. This peculiar aesthetic intention is usually carried out through a well-codified sonic and visual apparatus whose perceivable features are supposed to evoke pictures of putrefaction and morbidity […]
VECTIS ("crowbar" in Latin) is a young band (literally, as the guys are still teenagers) from the north of Portugal. For some reason, most younger bands in the country tend to play Death or Black Metal, Metalcore / PANTERA influenced modern Metal, or now other forms of symphonic stuff, weird fusions and such. There is […]
In the past few years, the Black Metal scene in Iceland really exploded and became more than an insiders’ tip. Once it were SOLSTAFÍR who paved the way before they changed their path and became a band that conquered their own cosmos with their Post (Black) Metal style. Now there is a new generation of […]
Sweden’s BASTARD GRAVE, on their second full-length entitled "Diorama Of Human Suffering", deliver an album of extremely solid material. With a sound very similar to ENTRAILS, whether influenced by them or not (hell, maybe it’s mainly the production), the five-piece Death Metal guys (and gal) throw a one-two punch into our eye sockets. Channeling an […]
This is a compilation by DEMONOMANCER, a one-man band from El Salvador. If I got things right it features all songs ever made. Quite a good idea, because all previous releases were demo or split releases on tape so by publishing the whole work on both CD and LP (limited to 500 copies) Dunkelheit Produktionen […]
The time has come for us to taste the foul aroma of the SERPENT SEED! Hailing from the untamed territories of Łask, Poland, SERPENT SEED are no strangers to extremity. "Death And Decay Considerations" is the band’s follow-up to 2014’s "Debris Of Faith" and it’s one of those albums that just blow off your speakers […]
Chicago Thrashers AFTERMATH, formed back in 1985, produced numbers of demos, before releasing their 1994 debut “Eyes Of Tomorrow”, which is now considered a progressive tech Thrash masterpiece. And, noticeably it was released in a time period when Thrash was fading away in favor of Black and Death Metal. It was recorded shortly after the […]
