German Death / Grind godfathers and pioneers BLOOD have been bulldozing and grinding minds since the late 80s and this, their 5th album released in 1996, shows a band definitely sticking to their roots in a time when playing such music was not too popular, something this writer always admires in a band. BLOOD come […]
I have great expectations in the upcoming SODOM full-length, since it will mark the comeback of Frank Blackfire, who is responsible for the guitarwork on two of the best Teutonic Thrash Metal albums of all time: “Persecution Mania” and “Agent Orange”. In order to make the waiting easier, SODOM has just released a new EP […]
“Plague: Ornaments Of Mutilation And More” is a deluxe re-issue of the whole discography by the Floridian Death Metal band SICKNESS, a killer collection recently re-released on CD by the Dutch label Vic Records. It includes: the “Ornaments Of Mutilation” debut album from 1995, the Promo 1997, the “Torture Of Existence” demo from 1994 and […]
RUIN were a short lived Death Metal band from California, who released a demo tape at the beginning of the 1990s. This information could be seen as redundant if their guitar player Mihail Jason Satan hadn’t restarted the band after a nearly 25 year long break with a completely new line-up in 2015. Since then, […]
Mother Nature gave Scandinavian Peninsula a brazen and awe inspiring landscape and atmosphere which is equally engrossing and merciless. Among them the Norwegian territory might have something gnarly, inhuman and also mysterious substances from the unheard off constellations during its creation at the very beginning of earth. Their prehistoric civilizations always have their great contribution […]
“Gas. Flames. Bones.” is the sixth full-length album released by the German band BLOOD in 1999. A primitive and forgotten gem of European Grindcore, recently reissued by the Dutch label Vic Records in a special CD version that also includes a cover of the classic song ‘Wizard Of Gore’ by the legendary American Goregrind band […]
I ask you one question and I want you to answer the truth: did you really expect something special when reading about an old school Death Metal band from Turkey? BURIAL INVOCATION call themselves an old school Death Metal band and I believe you don’t expect anything special and neither did I. Not that it […]
Last year, the German outfit OUTRAGE really bored me with their eighth and latest album “And The Bedlam Broke Loose”. This uninspired album really was a reason not to find out more about that band from Pforzheim, but karma sometimes strikes back. Without further checking out, I again applied to review an album from OUTRAGE, […]
GUTWRENCH was a pretty fine oufit from the north of Holland. They were founded in 1992, when Death Metal already had its first peak and dozens of good bands emerged from the Netherworlds. Vic Records again decided to dig in the underground of this golden era and to make all the band’s efforts available again […]
Canadian blackened Death Metallers ELLORSITH have been hard at work the last 4 years. Not much is known about the band and at one point I thought they were from Scotland, but regardless they have been cranking out material in the form of EPs and splits since 2014. Ellorsith is old english for a journey […]
