UNAUSSPRECHLICHEN KULTEN is a very interesting band from Chile and, although they’re active for less than two decades, these guys from Santiago have made quite a name for themselves in the Death Metal underground scene. Just think that in 17 years they’ve released: four full-length albums, five demos, three splits, one EP and two compilations. […]
German Doom veterans DAWN OF WINTER have been around the best part of 30 years now and have stayed steadfastly and defiantly true to their traditional Doom Metal roots since their formation in 1991. But this is only their 3rd full-length album since their formation, as the old saying goes, the ways of doom are […]
The Finish chameleon … AND OCEANS returns. Having started more or less as a Black Metal-band, already the second regular album showed their interest in the field of electronic music as it included a complete Industrial bonus-CD. Their third CD "Am God" then offered a raw but more or less uncommon mixture of both styles. […]
I’ve stumbled over quite a good deal of bands this year, one of these bands is Polish IN TWILIGHT’S EMBRACE, which is ready with their 5th full-length album "Lawa" as we speak, a journey into a vortex of dark melodic Death / Black Metal. It is not like the band is set out to re-invent […]
The good people of No Remorse Records keep on in their quest for releasing quality Metal, and here they bring us the second album by Greek band SABOTER.

For those of you that don’t know CAPILLA ARDIENTE yet, the band is one of the finest Epic Doom Metal outfits nowadays. They started their career as a duo with this excellent EP, entitled "Solve Et Coagula". It was released independently back in 2009 and right after that it has had different format re-issues. This […]
GODSKILL from South Germany are active since 2011 and after an EP and a first full-length, they return with the follow-up entitled "The Gatherer Of Fear And Blood" this time via MDD Records. The opener ‘The Eleven Kills The Ten’ starts pretty promising. Melodic but doomy Death Metal with cool blast-beats but grunts as vocals […]
Doom Metal is a merciless mistress. She loves to put on dark make-up and brush her jejune hair in a desperate attempt to convince those that like to bang their heads in slow motion that yes, there is still live in her pale withering body. And more often than not, she is a shadow of […]
Some bands never get the accolade that they deserverved or the accolade that was hidden in the cards. Either by bad timing, bad record labels, bad decisions, destiny or a good mix of it all. One of those bands is WARFARE, even though they were about to break into the NWOBHM scene in the mid […]
Five years after the return of the “real” TANK in form of Mr. Algy Ward as one-man band, the problem of the two bands named TANK still is unsolved. Cliff Evans and Mick Tucker still do their version and Algy still claims that he is the only one to play under that moniker. Well, for […]
