Since the beginning of following the bands in collaboration with Les Acteurs De L’Ombre Productions, it became a matter of trustfulness that the profound eyes and ears of this label can do no harm and always represent something out of nowhere. HEAUME MORTAL is not an exception, which is a personal project from France led […]
Reviewing this album has been one of the hardest, most difficult things I have done… ever. Firstly, because I do not know the style / subgenre of Black Metal TRISTE TERRE plays; and secondly, because I really do not like such style. Really. Not my cup of tea. You are surely wondering “Hey, Daniel, then […]
With ASPHODELUS we have a pretty new and young band from the Karelian area of Finland. The three-piece was started under the moniker CEMETARY FOG in 2012 already before they changed their name after three demos and an EP on Iron Bonehead. The same label also released the first EP as ASPHODELUS. A demo later, […]
Death Metal started as a really raw, heavy and evil ridden form of music. And it has been pushing its boundaries and reaching new extremes ever since. And in my humble opinion, this fact has made a lot of the "new" Death Metal bands forget the roots of this type of Metal. Most of these […]
Spain’s STAINED BLOOD have been around since 2005, but only started releasing full-lengths as of 2013. The third album "Nyctosphere" indicates a band well-honed in their skills, and confident in their delivery. Although usually labelled as Death Metal or Deathcore (not that labels really matter), there’s a twist of Black Metal interlaying between the riveting […]
Canada… a land within the land… the place in America that is closer to Europe in essence yet has a thing of its own… and music for that matter, is no different. A place that has given countless supreme bands like RUSH, TRIUMPH, EXCITER, RAZOR, SACRIFICE and VOIVOD just to name a few… not to […]
USURPER from Chicago are already around since 1993 and after a longer break they started being active again in 2015. The result of the new start is their already sixth album "Lords Of The Permafrost“ which gets released by Soulseller Records. Apart from their name, I totally missed out on the band before so I […]
The womb BLASPHEMY once crawled from is still going strong. This time it is EGGS OF GOMORRH, hailing from the French speaking part of Switzerland. Three years after the debut "Rot Prophet" the EP “Outpregnate” is keeping the flame of War Metal alive and burning. And it really burns, after a redundant intro five tracks […]
THE BLACK SORCERY’s second album is a particular morsel to chew. This Black / Death Metal band from Canada leans towards what is usually labeled War Metal but not in a typical way, since the main vocals are sung using the typically Grindcore pig squeal technique (usually done inhaling) with the addition of some gurgled undead-like […]
New brutality from Austalia has arrived upon these shores! HORRISONOUS was formed in 2016, more or less out of the ashes of the rather hardhitting Death Metal punishers BACKYARD MORTUARY, I reckon, as the two bands share a good deal of members at least. HORRISONOUS do already have 2 demos and now, this full-length album […]
