TURBOCHARGED is a Swedish band, that is active since 2000. Although they will soon be 20 years old, they have been releasing new material in regularity since 2010 like an efficient turbine. Initially, it took quite a while for the Swedes to have a stable line-up, but since then the trio has been uncompromisingly pulling […]
INDIAN NIGHTMARE was founded in 2014 and like a global force united; this band composed of musicians from Indonesia, Italy, Mexico and Turkey. As self-proclaimed Tribal Metal Punks, the quintet put up their tent in the German capital Berlin and quickly established themselves with their novel take on Punk, Speed, Heavy and Thrash Metal. By […]
During the second Heavy Metal wave at the end of the 1990s, the Italian Metal scene finally got the attention it deserved. Especially the Epic and Doom Metal acts from the “boot” blew up some dust, mainly in the underground, with acts like DOOMSWORD for example. But even though it seems that there aren’t that […]
Florida: what a fantastic place! It was the fatherland of Death Metal 30 years ago and it still is. I’ve been listening to Floridian Death Metal since early ’90s and it’s great to see how this scene is still a heavyweight in the Metal underground. Three of my favourite albums of the last few months […]
NOCTURNUS was formed in 1987, with Mike Browning (ex – INCUBUS, ex – MORBID ANGEL), Richard Bateman (ex – PURGATORY, ex – INCUBUS) and Gino Marino (ex – INCUBUS) as core members. Their first demo already showed an different approach to Death Metal. But their second demo tape, "The Science Of Horror", was a huge […]
Trying not to behave like an enthusiast teen fanboy or a groveling sycophant with this album is not easy. Seriously, how to review an album so anticipated, featuring the drumming talents and mastermind of one Mike Browning, a man who actually made Metal history happen when, along with a handful of insane individuals, almost single-handed […]
Since finding out that Mike Browning’s NOCTURNUS AD would be releasing their much-anticipated debut album under the Profound Lore banner I got goose bumps. Like any fan of the old NOCTURNUS material I started to wonder if Browning would continue with the same sound found on "The Key" or “Thresholds” or if it would be […]
Dear ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the legitimate successor of "The Key". Back in 1990 NOCTURNUS caused an uproar by incorporating synthesizer and keyboards into Death Metal and using Science Fiction orientated lyrics. That album still stands as a landmark for fascinating uniqueness. As so often the follow-up "Thresholds" could not reach the level of […]
If the name NOCTURNUS AD somehow sounds familiar in your ears or even rings a huge bell, you’re pretty right. This band is, so to say, a successor to the well known Florida Death Metal band NOCTURNUS, who nearly revolutionised the back then young genre in 1990 with their debut album “The Key”. The very […]
ENTRAPMENT from Groningen in Holland return with their fourth and maybe last album "Imminent Violent Death". As far as I know, the band is only consisting of Michel Jonker now, who celebrates his love for the 90s Death Metal scene from Stockholm. Means the first three tracks are highly influenced by ENTOMBED, DISMEMBER and partly […]
