Most of you should know by now that Chile has an excellent extreme Metal scene with a lot of great, very uncompromising acts. The duo CENOTAFIO from Temuco is already active for a few years in the underground and released some demos, an album and recently a split-tape with the German INTO COFFIN. Nearly at […]
Portland, Oregon’s FETID, originally named OF CORPSE (and thank god they changed it), since 2013 have only released an EP (2017’s "Sentient Pile Of Amorphous Rot") until now. With their first full-length "Steeping Corporeal Mess", Clyle Lindstrom (guitars, vocals), Jullian Rhea (drums, vocals) and Chelsea Loh (bass) have recorded a group of songs that the […]
POWER FROM HELL are back with their sixth full-length album, entitled "Profound Evil Presence" and released by the German label High Roller Records. These guys from São Paulo are a pretty interesting case in the underground, because they’re a good example of an enjoyable band that is able to keep the spirit of the golden […]
One of the Sumerian godfather Lugalbanda sons is called Gilgamesh and that is also the name of a Death Metal band from Munich. And like those two entities are connected in Sumerian mythology, in real life the link is named Emanuel Daniele, once the mastermind of GILGAMESH and know ready with his new band. ERIDU […]
EVOHÉ from France are already active in the underground since 2001 and nearly two decades later and after some line-up changes they release their third output "Deus Siva Natura" via Folter Records. With the opener ‘Diffenrent Worlds’ the band presents themselves with some Pagan Black Metal tunes with grim but well-balanced caws, midtempo guitars and […]
The last issue I saw of this cool underground zine from Malaysia was #6, so it was really a nice surprise when I found out that editor Fauzi had still been working on some follow-up issues ever since. A couple of months ago (March 2019) his newest edition (#9) was released and the first difference […]
Well, I’m totally addicted to this album and you should be the same, especially if you’re into the sickest forms of Death Metal. "Blight Of Sempiternal Putrefaction" is the first full-length CD from the American band FILTHEATER and it really shines in the Death Metal underground. Here we have nine songs for almost 38 minutes […]
Released in 2015, LUVART’s two-song EP ‘Book Of Shadows" is a brief look at where this band from Brazil was heading after being around off and on since 1993. Brucolaques (guitar, vocals), Marbas (bass, keyboards) and Blood Devastator (drums) create a fairly simple and relaxed form of Black / Doom Metal that strays a little from […]
This is a split 7" so we have just one song by each band. And even though they are both Black Metal bands from Brazil, they noticeably differ in style. DENIED REDEMPTION play a deeply symphonic Black Metal full of keyboards and effects and occasional sung backing vocals that contrast with the typical Black Metal […]
AETHYRICK received kudos for their last year’s debut "Praxis" and this output features the two prior released demos "The Trident-Bearer" and "Athanator Of Sorcery". None of the demo songs found its way to the debut and since the original demo tapes were strictly limited to 81 respectively 93 copies I guess there is a great […]
