The second album of this band, formed in Washington back in 2007, is actually a good step in the right direction, while maintaining their style of very atmospheric blackish Metal with a environmental thematic, and still using acoustic passages in their music, with the use of clean vocals here and there. The production is better […]
GATEWAY is a Doom / Death act coming from Belgium. "Boundless Torture", released by Pulverised, is the name of their last offering. The first track here, ‘Boundless Torture’, works as an intro and gives you a first approach to this 4 tracks Doom / Death EP. ‘Famished Below’, the second track, is a 5 minutes […]
DISCOMMAND is a German band that plays Crust Metal. They claim to have Death Metal influences in their sound and indeed they do, but to my ears the Punk aspect is clearly more prevalent than the Metal side. Not that I’m complaining as this is strong and violent music with a lot to like. But […]
The self-proclaimed masters of "Swedish Black Metal Mutilation" are torturing the public again. This must be release number 15, I guess the list of reviews at the end of the page is going to be longer than this review. Of course nothing has changed within the realm of AGGRESSIVE MUTILATOR. Which means we have a […]
Gothenburg’s AT THE GATES surprised us in 2014 with their first new full-length ("At War With Reality") in two decades. It was as if the band had never split to start with. Now, just four years later, they deliver another set of masterful songs with "To Drink From The Night Itself". Lindberg and company simply […]
"Reign Of Rotten Flesh" is the first full-length album by the German band ZOMBIE RIOT, recently released by Unholy Fire Records. A total of ten songs for almost 37 minutes of uncompromising Death Metal, influenced both by the American and the European scenes from the late 80s and the early 90s. The production is very […]
They say it is wise to try something new each day. Today I tried BLOODLAND, a band that I had never ever listened to before, but there was something about the tracklist that I decided to try it. Boy, was I surprised! And since I did not know the band, I had to do my […]
This is the third album from this Belgian blackened Death Metal band. The name sounded familiar to me, so I went in my memory, and yes, I have their past CD in my collection. That usually means that it is a good band. Well, things have not changed, their sound is not far away from […]
It is already (nearly) four years since the German Death and Doom institution NECROS CHRISTOS announced their third album to be the last of the band. Everything that became known beforehand hinted on a monolithic final album, an exit like a thunderbolt. And so much I can already say: the hints were not wrong! “Domedon […]
Formed back in 2003 this one woman band from Greece is presenting their second album. I have not heard many one member projects lead by a woman so this makes it special. Lead by Angela-Kelly who does vocals, keyboards and a very good drum programming, the band is completed by Jan from Italy, who does […]
