Remember Chile’s NOISE AND SHIT zine? Well, if you’re a dedicated supporter of the international fanzine scene you surely will, since the last issue (# 8) was a highly impressive and totally oversized monster of a zine. So, no surprise that it took these guys quite some time to come up with a follow-up… But […]
"Animist" is the first full-length album released by the German experimental Black / Doom Metal band WERIAN. It contains three very long songs for almost 45 minutes. Ok, I got to be honest: this album is not my cup of tea. Don’t get me wrong, I’m really into both Black Metal and Doom Metal, but […]
Good old Heavy Metal with Speed Metal in the mix, is something I never can get enough of. These Americans were formed in 1981 and is perhaps most known for having had a bassist in the fold, named Cliff Burton, who later joined METALLICA and became legend! TRAUMA is much more than the band Burton […]
With URZA from Berlin, we have some brand new stuff from the blooming German extreme Metal underground. “The Omnipresence Of Loss” is their first album, nearly four years after their formation in 2015 and a digital single of the song ‘Path Of Tombs’ which also appears on the album. Even though the band itself is […]
First things first: I am not the biggest fan of artist biographies, auto- or otherwise, with a few exceptions of course. Springsteen can fucking write, that’s why “Born To Run” is a great read. Charles Bukowski, Henry Miller and Hunter S Thompson wrote about nothing but their lives, but they are in a league of […]
Back in the beginning of the nineties the Swedish Death Metal scene was blasting off, as the most of you reading these pages should be fully aware of. Many of the bands back then had been migrating from Thrash into Death Metal, making it heavier and much more brutal, quite menacing with their buzzsaw riffing […]
Once again ATARAXIE released a double CD and once again I am not convinced. If you liked the previous three albums you have already this one on your list and I guess you can skip this review. If you are not familiar with the music the band from France is delivering, the title of the […]
SOFY MAJOR is a three piece from France which started off as a Post Emo Hardcore project now describing them self as a “Big-Muff, Noise Rock and Hardcore influenced band”. For me it’s a very classical French Screamo post Punk thing with a dose of Sludge and disharmonious and progressive elements. I got to say […]
Over the past few years, France became quite famous in insider circles for their blooming and creative Metal scene. Bands like ALCEST or GOJIRA are well known around the world by now for playing unique and very fine music that can hardly be compared. And the underground is also blooming, just take a look at […]
It is the season of new bands for my ears. FIEND, a French outfit with 14 years and an EP and a full-length on their back, and now this second full-length album "Seeress" released on Deadlight Entertainment, and still I hadn’t heard about them until a week ago. The album and its atmosphere is for […]
