From the obscene and mysterious terrain of Finland, GALVANIZER emerges out of nowhere and has quickly become a flag bearing underground act with their defying approach to combine innate energy and sound which congregate the spirit of classic Finnish Death Metal and vicious Deathgrind. After initiated with two demo tapes and a 7” EP, GALVANIZER […]
Here we are talking about a band that was formed after the death of WINDIR… basically the tragic death of their leader… well this is their second album with the name, and if you were a fan of WINDIR or ULCUS (an ex-member plays here) well, you will surely like this. It is a melodic […]
Helsinki, Finland… Land of abundant extreme Metal that hardly ever fails in delivering. Land that is best known for its aggressive, blasphemous Black Metal. But in this case, Death / Doom duo CONVOCATION throw out a slow, churling, monstrous mass of decay. MN (vocals) and DESOLATE SHRINE’s LL (who plays all instruments in both bands) […]
Dense Doom / Death is what this duo from Italy offers to the world to be consumed in fear and anguish… of the slowest type. Just 3 songs, over 36 minutes of deep low growls taking influences from AUTOPSY, WINTER CANDLEMASS and darkness itself. The production is a bit weird, I mean it is good […]
Second album from this Black Metal band from Poland. Formed back in 2012, they have just one previous album in their discography. From the name you can guess it is not the usual Black Metal band. If there is something that fits the music in this case, it is the title. Their Black Metal style […]
I’m getting pretty sick of the retro Metal movement coming out of Sweden and other parts of Europe. When I see the fringes, patchy moustaches, spandex and coloured leather, it just screams inauthentic to me. No doubt that the people in these groups are competent at what they do, but if I wanted to listen […]
SKINNED is an underrated American brutal Death Metal band from Colorado. They started their career in 1996 and have a pretty large discography (mostly independent): five full-length albums, one demo, two split releases, two EPs and one compilation. From 1996 to 2015 the band’s concept was focused on the typical brutal Death Metal ultra gory […]
In the last two years, DEATHSTORM really became a joy for the old thrashing geezer I am. Both, 2016’s “Blood Beneath The Crypts” album and last year’s compilation “Storming The Gallows”; were and still are a joy for anyone into honest and energetic old-fashioned Thrash Metal. Reviewing the compilation last year, I regretted it was […]
APOSTASY, one of those legendary bands with one obscure full-length tape release behind them (from 1991). One of those releases everybody is trying to get hold of for years and years, with nothing but bad dubbed copies flowing around. That has changed now, or well a few years back. The Chilean band roamed the Metal […]
Italian horde EKPYROSIS were creative again and one year after their first full-length "Asphyxiating Devotion" they continued writing songs and four of them get unleashed now in form of their new EP "Primordial Chaos Restored". Heavily influenced by IMMOLATION and also INCANTATION the guys start with the opener ‘Abyssal Convergence’ which is slow-paced nearly doomy […]
