A mortal winged entity cuts through clouds of skeletons and thick smoke to lead us into SUPERSTITION’s realms of morbidity. The band’s first full-length engraving stands as yet another affirmation of evil amidst 20 Buck Spin’s huge catalogue, with a cross-turning approach creeping in from the album’s very start. With three different atmospheric horror synth […]
ENISUM hails from Italy and delivers atmospheric Black Metal, driven by rocking melancholic soundscapes and beautiful guitar melodies. Darkness cloaks the whole release, even though the melodies once in a while become a tad too nice, for my own personal taste, and move the focus from the drawing darkness and grey melancholy. The band has […]
Saor is the Irish and Scottish Gaelic word for "free". SAOR, the Scottish one-man band is the brainchild of Glasgow’s Andy Marshall, formerly of FALLOCH. After his debut, he left the band to pursue his own vision of Caledonian Black Metal and through his already impressive discography, SAOR have perfectly translated the magnificence, unforgiving nature and […]
"Revenge Of The Monarch, The Kingdom Cult" is the first full-length album from SUGGILLATION, a young band from Brazil, specifically from the state of Mato Grosso Do Sul. Almost 43 minutes for eight tracks of unripe old school Death Metal. The band – a power trio – was born in 2014 and this is its […]
The Berlin based SINNERS BLEED, named like a famous ENTOMBED song, is already around for more than twenty years. Yet, their new album “Absolution” is only their fourth release ever and the first for a period of sixteen (!) years. It took the five piece this long to record a follow-up to their pretty much […]
VIRCOLAC are an Irish musical entity who have been making quite a morbid mark on the underground Metal scene in more recent years. Their overall sound is firmly rooted in old school Death Metal, clearly influenced by the pioneering late 80s and early 90s classics and their style is vicious and virulent, complex but caustic, […]
TORCHURE was destined to be great… destined, but fate was in sight and they lost two members of the band in a tragic traffic accident. Maybe one of the first to have that info was Oliver, their manager back in the day, with whom I was corresponding with. I got from him the demos, CDs […]
Formed way back in 1987 in the sunny Arizona, ATROPHY was a quite fun and good Speed / Thrash Metal band that went on to release two good albums before disappearing into obscurity, and then some 30 years later to re-appear again. This is their demo that secured them a deal with Roadrunner Records back […]
TRIBE OF PAZUZU is Nick Sagias (ex – OVERTHROWN) – vocals / bass , Randy Harris (ex – MACIFECATION) – guitars, John McEntee (INCANTATION) – guitars and Flo Mounier (CRYPTOPSY) – drums. With such members in their ranks, my expectations were high. And I was not disappointed. "Heretical Uprising" is a solid debut EP from […]
NRVK, also known as NARVIK, was founded in Germany around 2006 and the name was chosen as a reaction to the death of the musician Robert Burås, who lived in Narvik (Norway) and whom some members of the band consider as massive inspiration. MADRUGADA, named after the spanish word for the blue hour before dawn; […]
