“Perseverance” is the fifth full-length album released by the Illinoisian brutal Death Metal band LIVIDITY. A pretty well known name in the brutal Death Metal underground, especially in the late 90s and in the early 2000s when this scene lived its golden age. During these years LIVIDITY released a bunch of killer titles such as […]
IRREVERENCE is a Death / Thrash Metal band from Italy that was formed in 1995 and this is their latest album. And what it shows is a very effective band that mixes an old school aggressive feel with a lot of musical experimentation, without compromising their metallic qualities or the heaviness of the music. These […]
Lucky for me, I’ve always been a VARATHRON fan and I still am. This Greek band is very special to me, because "His Majesty At The Swamp" is one of the very first Black Metal albums I ever bought back in the early 90s. VARATHRON was born in 1988 and after 30 years they still […]
Black Heavy? Heavy Black? Heavy? Black? The bottle does not matter as much as the drunkenness it says… With SLEGEST, we get both! There is a lot of things in this album to satisfy a lot of underground freaks. An album apparently filled with basic riffs but riddled with small beads of melodies and catchy breaks. […]
THE KONSORTIUM is a rather unusual name for a Metal band, since it sounds pretty technical and hints to an economic organization. My first thought was Nu Metal. But luckily the band is traveling the paths of Black Metal. “Rogaland” is not only the title of the second album by the Norwegian based outfit which […]
No review of "Vision Wallows In Symphonies Of Light" here yet? Can’t have that. What a step forward! "Continuum Of Absence" sounds straight forward compared to "Vision…" which only consists of four tracks, yet there is a brilliant flow to this latest release which its predecessor didn’t have. Many things have changed. The old band […]
When something is labeled as post-something (going by Metal Archives) – in this case Black Metal – it’s hard to know what to expect. Could the same be said about France’s DECLINE OF THE I? Yes. "Escape" is a lot to take in and process, it’s not background music. As far as the aforementioned label […]
CAST THE STONE from the US was founded back in 2002 and released one full-length in 2005 before they took a longer break. The band finally returns with an EP entitled "Empyrean Atrophy". As I already saw the artwork on Facebook before the release, I was a bit curious what to expect and already the […]
This Catalonian band is a new acquintance for me, I don’t even think I had stumbled across the name, before this new album was handed to me, so I could review it. This is the band’s third full-length album, and besides that they have an EP under their belt. They have all their material online […]
VANHELGD is a well-known act in the current extreme Metal community that continues working on new releases, mainly full-lengths of pure Swedish Death Metal madness. They have just released their new album entitled "Deimos Sanktuarium", the fifth one in their entire career, on Pulverised in co-operation with Dark Descent Records. ‘A Plea For Divine Necromancy’ […]
