A nostalgic Heavy / Speed Metal barrel made up of warrior ladies in this modern period always sounds interesting to explore. MYSTIK, which started in 2016, cultivated all that grand old spirits inside and devoted the name with great credibility and dedication, for which they are now appreciated as one of the new hopes within […]

WARFIST is a Black / Thrash Metal band from Poland that has been around for a while now and this is their third album. It begins with a beautiful acoustic guitar intro and then all hell breaks loose irredeemably. They don’t pull their punches; this is a detonation of extremely aggressive and extremely well-performed Metal. Technically […]

Well, there’s no mistaking DEATHFUCKER’s name with a genre other than Metal. I guarantee they’ll be no one looking for a dub-step album.

That is to say that the German five really has something fine to offer on their third full-length album “Caverns Of Perdition”. The artwork by the man himself, Death Metal icon […]
Doom Metal… Sludge Metal… whatever you want to call it, the foundations of Metal are not exactly in high speed riffs… no, it all started in that sound that BLACK SABBATH founded and then from it, many bands evolve. Yes, speed was definitely there for the added aggression… This is the second album from this […]
"Post Black Metal"… Can someone please explain me the meaning of this ridiculous new genre within the extreme music underground? What exactly is that supposed to mean? "Modern Black Metal"? "Black Metal without corpsepaint"? "Black Metal for a more sophisticated audience"? I have no idea… and I couldn’t care less, to be perfectly honest. Yes, […]
Great news from Germany: PROTECTOR is back with a killer album. "Summon The Hordes" is the title of the seventh full-length effort from this legendary German Death / Thrash Metal band, recently released by High Roller Records.
