CONVICTORS is a band spawned from Germany. They are not a familiar name like SULPHUR AEON, REVEL IN FLESH and some other acts from the newer generation of German Death Metal, but they are easily on par with those in terms of quality and professionalism. They have quite an interesting history, as they have been […]
By the time “Dedicated To Chaos” was released, QUEENSRŸCHE was a mess of a band. The last few Geoff Tate albums left us scratching our heads and wondering where our beloved band who delivered us “Operation Mindcrime”, “Rage For Order” and “Empire” had run off to. Then came Todd La Torre (CRIMSON GLORY) as new […]
With a marvelously morbid band name like CREMATORY STENCH you immediately envision what their music sounds like. But does that morbid vision become a reality when listening to the music by these American newcomers? The answer is a resounding yes! As soon as the first festering notes of the opening track ‘Septic Offal’ burst out […]
"Caustic Attack" is the fourth full-length album by the legendary Death / Grind band TERRORIZER. It was released in late 2018 by the New York based label The End Records and it’s a terrific masterpiece. The extreme Metal scene just needed an album like this one. Yes, I could finish off this review here. Everyone […]
"The Sixth" is album number six (surprise) of German horde THORMESIS from Bavaria. Unfortunately I totally missed out the band before and was more than curious to listen to their material and I must say, they do not disappoint at all. Looking at their band picture at Encyclopedia Metallum, I expected a bit more grim […]
Four years after the debut "The Archer Takes Aim" New York based solo-project FUNEREAL PERSENCE unleashes the follow-up upon the crowd. While the outer form stayed the same, four songs with an overall playing time of 48 minutes, the substance of the music changed a little bit. Norwegian Black Metal still is the main source […]
Iceland has produced a small but very eclectic Black Metal scene in recent years and one of the bands from that scene making a name for themselves on the wider international stage is the mystical SINMARA. This is their second full-length album which is steeped in mysticism, chaos and norse mythology. They embrace their native […]
Back then, in the fanzine and tape-trading days, it was not unusual to see something related to this band, as it featured VADER members in its line-up. They started as a noisy and brutal Death Metal band, very much into old KREATOR, SLAYER and also of the very angry type of Hardcore in the vein […]
REDEMPTOR is a Polish band of brutal, yet technical Death Metal that compiles their first full-length, a demo and an EP on this release. The debut album is very well produced, has a very massive sound, and it shows very good musicians. Yes, it is technical, not yet to the point to be a showcase of […]
This is the fourth album by MEGASCAVENGER, a Swedish Death Metal band formed by Rogga Johansson, who is a most prolific musician with a large number of bands and projects, notably JOHANSSON & SPECKMANN (with four albums as well by now), with notorious Paul Speckmann of MASTER etc. Here Johansson sings and plays everything except […]
