Death Metal and Australia? Names like MORTIFICATION and ARMOURED ANGEL come to mind easily, but that’s it. Yet, the seed of Metal was always planted in the land down under. With VILE APPARITION, we have a pretty new band from Melbourne. Formed out of the ashes of SEWERCIDE by Jamie and Ollie as a duo, […]
RAVENOUS DEATH are hailing from the land of glorious mysteries, Guadalajara, Mexico. The band, that features current members of HELL REMAINS, DEMONIC MANIFESTATION and DEATH’S FORSAKEN, was created in early 2016 during the recording of REMAINS third album in Mexico City, when vocalist / guitarist Miguel Angel and drummer Esteban Salcedo came up with the […]
Paul Speckmann is MASTER. This band is his vision, and it has always been like that since 1983. MASTER’s legacy is without doubt one of the biggest for extreme Metal. The Swedish Death Metal sound owes MASTER their more distinctive details. And MASTER has mostly kept their sound intact in all the years. While one […]
Besides the fact that EREMIT is from Germany there is not that much that I know about this band that was formed by just two doomed people that went on to release their debut album on India’s Transcending Obscurity Records. To say they just play Doom Metal will be… incomplete. They are also referred to […]
At first I was disappointed and about to pan this EP by CZARNA MAGIA (translated Black Magic) from Poland. Five tracks with an extremely bad sound and dilettantish Black Metal close to ridiculousness. But then I got hooked by this release and played it several times a day. The atmosphere is the key to this […]
Jonny Pettersson (instruments) and Kam Lee (vocals) have put together a little album called “Kult Of The Raven” under the name NATTRAVNEN. You may have heard of both members. They’ve been in more bands than God. And therefore, both members are skilled artisans of their trade, creating filthy, crushing Metal for decades now. With no […]
Sweden’s FERAL has returned with their third opus of Swedish Death Metal nicely titled “Flesh For Funerals Eternal”. The Swedes have been spewing out this kind of music since 2007 when they decided to restart the band. The quintet had a solid response from their 2011 debut album “Dragged To The Altar” and 2015’s “Where […]
Mr Rogga Johansson has a huge career behind him. He has been part of a long list of great bands. A total Metal workaholic. HUMANITY DELETE is his one man project where he takes care of all instruments and vocals. And this third full-length album showcases his abilities as a really good songwriter and multi-instrumentalist […]
It seems that extreme progressive Metal is getting some attention from the underground scene. For years the word progressive has been rejected by the most conservative die hard Metalheads. I have been a progressive Rock and Metal fan for many years, so this kind of stuff is not new to me, but I must recognize […]
Oh yeah, here we have another one-man-project and it even comes from Russia. With premises like this, I would not have been surprised if BLACK GOAT turned out to be a pain in the ass. But I’m happy to tell you that I was wrong. Even though the band only consists of IX, this one […]
