Columbian Death Metal band SOL DE SANGRE teamed up with the Spanish Death / Thrash Metal outfit PÁNICO AL MIEDO for this four track EP. Both bands released their debut in 2018 so they took the chance to keep things rolling with this to 500 CDs limited release. At first I was bit disappointed, because […]
"Mot Ein Evig Ruin" is the third album for BLODHEMN. It consists of an interesting intro – the kind of intro that actually serves as a coherent opener for the album – and seven mostly relatively lengthy songs. Each of them has a Norwegian title so I guess it’s safe to assume that the lyrics […]
The first thing I thought of, when putting this album to play, by the for me totally unknown Russian band DEKONSTRUKTOR, was a doomy and a tad more fucked up and eerie version of the old THORNS demos, as the intro named ‘Out’ and the beginning of the titletrack has a nice distorted bass rumbling […]
France has had a bunch of great bands and most of them are or have been well known in the underground. And sometimes there are great bands that have been criminally overlooked and that is exactly the case with TRAUMASPHERE. Formed as a duo between Ivan Sikic (vocals, guitars and bass) and Guillaume (drums and […]
F.D.A. Records just keep signing some of the most solid Death Metal bands around these days that are churning out some brutality. The label, as I have previously mentioned in my reviews of other bands on the label, is truly one of the labels out there working on leading the way and taking no prisoners. […]
Sometimes life can still be full of surprises… For example the fact that someone you kind of lost out of sight and never heard from in years, all of a sudden turns up in one of your fave bands! This was the case with the new (not soooo ‘new’ anymore in the meantime) ARCH ENEMY […]
The German five piece THE VERY END from the Ruhr area received a little bit of local fame here in Germany, due to their demo recordings in 2005 and 2007, respectively. Some enthusiastic reviews in the German Metal press put the name of these experienced, more old school based Metal musicians (NIGHT IN GALES, DESTILLERY […]
I find cover versions quite interesting, if they’re done well, of course. Often cover versions give a good idea of the covering band’s influential sources, which often are the obvious with a few unexpected twists and turns here and there. Whole albums of cover versions tend to become a tad too much for me. Though […]
Since 1991, Floridian Death Metal masters MALEVOLENT CREATION have released thirteen albums of death, brutality and slaughter. So it’s only fitting that their latest is entitled "The 13th Beast". Consisting of Lee Wollenschlaeger (guitar, vocals), Phil Fasciana (guitar), Josh Gibbs (bass) and Philip Cancilla (drums), it’s almost a completely different band than their first release […]
No need to introduce German warriors OBSCURE INFINITY to any of the Voices readers. Active since 2007, they released four very good albums so far and a bunch of split releases with several other underground bands as well as some vinyl only bonus tracks. So it was a good idea from F.D.A. Records to collect […]
