A new Chilean mad band has seen the light of day. It has been active since 2013, but only released one demo in 2016 and now this mini album, released by Ex Nihilo Music from Chile as well. The lads are delivering raw thrashy Death Metal, the old school way. Noisy, raw and distorted beyond […]
I will be perfectly honest with you: the last VIRGIN STEELE album that I personally really admired was "Invictus". And that already dates back to 1998. In the years to follow, the band’s sole founding member, David DeFeis (vocals / keyboards), still released tons of material, that he recorded basically all on his own (with […]
One of my favorite Greek Death Metal bands is back to slay. A new MCD entitled "Cryogenically Revived" has seen the light of day and the band is on fire, as their second full-length "Cavern Of Foul Unbeings" was released earlier this year by Memento Mori. This time we are getting an all out attack […]
RITUALS OF THE DEAD HAND is a Belgian outfit formed in 2016 by Isangrim (drums, keyboards) and Lykaios (vocals, guitars, bass, keyboards). No more info is available from these guys, but it seems they have played with other bands from their country. "Blood Oath" is their first album and first recording for that matter. After […]
Just before dawn, the cannons roar, the bullets whistle, the exploding grenades are getting nearer – D Day has commenced and JUST BEFORE DAWN follows the allied forces through the beaches of the Normandy throughout the battle for freedom. The Swedish warmachine is back, stronger than ever, still with the solid core of Anders Biazzi […]
VANE is a new Polish band but with members that have quite some experience under their belts, that releases their first album in a self-financed way, yet presented with a very professional form, adding to it some videos done in a very pro way for the promotion. Their style is that of a melodic Death […]
This is the second album from this American band, 7 years after their debut album, and they have gone a good way since then. This is a more mature offering in every aspect yet never denying their origin. Death Metal that recalls INCANTATION, IMMOLATION and a bit of SUFFOCATION, yet with more atmosphere. The band […]
I am sure I have reviewed about a dozen of releases involving Rogga Johansson. This is a re-edition of the second PAGANIZER album, originally released way back in 2001, and re-released a few more times. This version includes two bonus tracks. And their sound has not changed a bit since they have started. They are a […]
This is the debut album from this chaotic Black / Death Metal combo from Ireland. Their style is that of cavernous and suffocating Death Metal that is generally considered as something started by INCANTATION with its doomed atmospheres combined with bursts of speed and with an overall asphyxiating aura. It is usually combined with a […]
Although this is divided in 5 sections, this new EP of these Finnish Death Metal warriors is basically just one song. And for that, this is still one great song. The band keeps getting better and better, many of their members are also active in other great Death and Black Metal bands like CORPSSESSED or […]
