One characteristic of the present Metal scene is bands materializing out of thin air, many outfits popping up with an debut that easily can challenge established bands. And I am not talking of those omnipresent "super groups", because it is no surprise if some musicians, each one with a history of 20, 30 years in […]
Though buried deep underground, the Metal scene has been a constant fixture in Brazil for decades. While no genre is shirked, Death Metal seems to be the one that spawns the most. PRECEPTOR is comprised of members of a number of bands from the busy Belo Horizonte scene and, together, aim to infect the tombs […]
For a band that’s only released one full-length in the band’s eight years since forming, it’s really fucking nice that tracks from their prior splits are gathered together under one roof… namely "Sado Goat Ritual Desecration (2010 – 2017)". If you’ve never heard of NOCTURNAL DAMNATION, the best way to describe them is to compare […]
MONSTROSITY oh MONSTROSITY, why did we have to wait 11 years for a new album? All the great music you could have written, which you most likely have been doing anyways, recorded and released. Well, things doesn’t always pan out as intented, I reckon drummer extraordinaire and mainman behind MONSTROSITY, Lee Harrison will agree on […]
The name CARPE NOCTEM is a pretty misleading choice for a Metal band. First of all, it is quite a motto of the Gothic scene, since it translates as “seize the night”, in a modification of an old Latin proverb. Then there is a German band of that name that tries to combine strings and […]
It seems there has been a new wave of supergroups popping up lately (MEMORIAM, HIDEOUS) and in that batch of new musical endeavors is the group SIEGE OF POWER. Featuring members of such fan favorites as ASPHYX, THANATOS, HAIL OF BULLETS and AUTOPSY this band combines an interesting set of individuals who have joined up […]
This is the third album of this German band, and one that I remember from their second album as I have it somewhere around. And things have not changed that much in their music style, as they are still rooted in the old skull of Death Metal where ASPHYX, BOLT THROWER, MALEVOLENT CREATION and IMMOLATION […]
This German band has been dwelling into darkness since 2008 and has so far released 4 albums, a demo, a split an this, their lastest recording, a 3 song EP. The style of the band can be defined as an occult form of Death / Black Metal that is able to conjure very dark images […]
Ever since discovering 2010’s "Taste The Sin Through The Fire", I’ve been a fanboy for the group’s infectious melody, ripping Death / Thrash riffs, and triumphant progressions that develop into hooky, memorable songs which – unlike so much other extreme Metal out there – never obfuscate themselves in a haze of incomprehensible fury or aimless […]
In 2018 a band without an entry at metal-archives.com is like finding a Blue Mauritius. Pretty rare and unusual. Although formed in 2017 the trio from Sevilla, Spain, has not only no record in Encyclopaedia Metallum furthermore the Bandcamp page features only one demo track. At least the band earned some 300 likes at Facebook. […]
