Of all the parts in the world, this is the first time I have ever encountered a band from Iran. I can realize that it will be a death penalty to perform this type of music in those places, but it seems that there are quite more than just a bunch of bands there. This […]
HUMANITY DELETE is basically another band from Swedish multi instrumentalist Rogga Johansson. He is known for playing in lots bands and projects (PAGANIZER, RIBSPREADER, NECROGOD and MEGASCAVENGER to name a few). This time he is not only playing all instruments but also handling all the vocals. It is amazing that Rogga has managed to have […]
DEVIL LEE ROT, a prolific and profane entity from the north resurfaced into the earthliness with "Devil Equinox Ov Doom". Since the release of "Doom Devilution" in 2014, they released two split records, "The Mourners Bell Chimes For The Devils Reign / The Assassinator Will Fighting For Blood" and "Swedish Luciferi Vol.2". But the inexplicable […]
This EP, comprised of 3 tracks, showcases Metal / Punk pioneers WARFARE at their most punked up and raw sounding. WARFARE took the unbridled aggression and attitude of Punk and mixed it up with a sharp metallic edge and the result is explosive. The harsh snarling vocals of Evo definitely have more of a Punk […]
Well, those were the days. No one ever thought of Nu Metal or Metal Core back then in the early 80s when an invasion of countless and thunderous British Heavy Metal bands started to dominate the world. Now more than two decades later I have to thank Sanctuary Records for their awesome NWOBHM Classic re-releases. […]
Hell-Yeah, another NWOBHM re-release. Originally 33 years ago, in 1985, the “Four Track E.P.” was released via Neat Records as a 12" vinyl. Now this gem is available on CD and this is really great news. TYSONDOG doesn’t belong to the first wave of NWOBHM bands and so they sound more powerful and you can […]
Rogga Johansson (vocals, guitars, bass) has been in a shitload of bands. Too many to name here. But he’s proven his worth while playing in a multitude of Metal genres. Brynjar Helgetun (drums) and Dennis Blomberg (lead guitars) also leave a trail of bands behind them. Since 2007, Kiruna, Sweden’s THOSE WHO BRING THE TORTURE […]
I have to admit that I’m totally addicted to that early British Heavy Metal sound. And so I‘m always very excited that another of those old NWOBHM gems is being re-released. Especially when it comes to one of my favorites from this era: QUARTZ. Their second full-length “Stand Up And Fight” from 1980 is a […]
When it comes to atmospheric Black Metal French based DARKENHÖLD certainly left a positive mark within the scene. Formed in 2008 the band released three full-length albums plus three split releases. Those outputs have found general approval and on album number four thankfully nothing has changed. Since the band is often associated with the term […]
First of all, and shame on me, only the album title sounded familiar to me first, but I couldn’t remember to what exactly. Some googling before, what a surprise (yes I know Google is evil – but that’s the theme here, isn’t it??), a 1989 SARCOFAGO bootleg also got the same name. And when you […]
