Eighties Punk Metal power trio WARFARE have their early albums reissued. The band’s first four albums – “Pure Filth”, “Metal Anarchy”, “Mayhen Fuckin’ Mayhem” and “A Conflict Of Hatred” – are now reissued on CD by Dissonance Records. This pioneer act of the early eighties had many special associations during their album productions. Their 1984 […]
"Metal Anarchy" is the recording that really saw North East England based Metal / Punk Crossover pioneers WARFARE perfecting their explosive mix of Speed Metal and raw abrasive Punk and this album is in this writers opinion the highlight of their 80s release catalogue. Punked up tempos clash full force with sharp thrashy riffing with […]
WARFARE is an old and underrated Speed Metal band from the North of England. They were formed in 1982 by Paul "Evo" Evans (drums and vocals) with the intent to play a raw mixture of dirty Punk / Rock and British Heavy Metal. That’s how WARFARE sounded in their early years and it’s what they […]
VIDRES A LA SANG are based in the Spanish region of Catalonia and they use the Catalan language. Although this language belongs to the so-called Latinian / Romance languages like Spanish, French, Italian etc. it sounds pretty arcane and mysterious to my ears. Not the worst suppositions for a Black Metal album. By the way, […]
After an EP that in length and number of songs seems pretty much like a full-length album (originally a tape the band released that was later re-released on CD and vinyl), here we have another EP, this time with just two tracks. MALLEUS ("Hammer" in Latin) is a trio from Boston, Massachusetts, and explicitly play […]
It’s been thirteen years since Belgium’s PARAGON IMPURE have released a new album. On the other hand, the members of the band have been busy with their other project LUGUBRUM. So fans have at least had a fairly steady flow of new music in between. However, sometimes space between albums of this many years can […]
MALLEUS emerged from the mysterious vicinity of Boston and they proclaimed their beginning through a self-released tape during the autumn of 2016. Blood Harvest Records resurrected that wicked desecration and represented it as the debut album of MALLEUS, titled “Storm Of Witchcraft”, which is now released on CD, 12" vinyl and cassette tape formats. This […]
For those of you who never heard anything about THE MONOLITH DEATHCULT from the Netherlands, I can tell you that they are around for quite a while now. “V2 – Vergelding” (subtitled: “Dawn Of The Planet Of The Ashes”) is their seventh full-length album and it is far from being easy listening. What once started […]
This one is for those of you with a distinct aversion to harmonic or even melodic music, for those who think understandable vocals are absolutely overrated! INHUME is a long running Grindcore band from the Netherlands, that is active since 1994 and released four full-length albums so far. Unlike other Grind acts, they didn’t release […]
Like many other classic demos, also DESTRUCTION’s one and only "Bestial Invasion Of Hell" tape from 1984 has been bootleged countless times already until a first official re-release finally reared its ugly head as part of the 2 CD edition of the band’s 2000 re-union album "All Hell Breaks Loose". Ever since that reunion the […]
