"Grave Condition" is the fourth full-length album recorded by the Norwegian band BLOOD TSUNAMI. It will be released on April 27, 2018 by the Dutch label Soulseller Records. It follows the wake of their previous releases, especially the 2013 album "For Faen!". But, getting to the point, how does this new effort by BLOOD TSUNAMI […]
Since DARKTHRONE have taken it upon themselves to function as an underground zine rather than a band, I hope they get wind of this tape and put the logo on their next album cover with their mascot, Mr. Necro. If only DARKTHRONE could write heavy garage Punk / Metal like this. SATAN’S SATYRS live in […]
This is a demo by the new band of several ex-members of Chile’s THY SERPENT’S CULT, a band that called it a day in 2017, after three full-length albums. And this, indeed, follows the legacy of their previous incarnation, as it is very direct and brutal old school Death Metal. From these three tracks that […]
When it comes to the SAXON debut, I guess all has been said in the past already and dedicated Heavy Metal maniacs know what’s up when ‘Rainbow Theme’ starts floating out of the sound-system. We’re back in 1979 and Heavy Metal is ready to conquer the world with its long haired, denim and leather wearing, […]
American newcomers SENTIENT HORROR have been creating a bit of a buzz in the scene recently and that is not just because of the buzzsaw Swedish style guitar sound that they utilise but because they unleash some seriously savage and very impressively played old school Death Metal. They pour all of the best ingredients of […]
Emerging apparently out of nowhere – like the cathartic Yersinia Pestis pandemic, PLAGUE is a Bulgarian Black / Death / Thrash Metal project formed in 2016 by Catacombs (drums, vocals) and S.H (guitar, bass). “A Blaze Of Unholy Fire” is the debut demo recorded by PLAGUE in autumn of 2016 and released as limited edition […]
Bygone are the days of spirited and flesh slashing Thrash Metal. In recent times, most modern Thrash Metal releases sound overproduced and yield nothing but thoughtless aggression. Nevertheless, the rampant spirit carries on and always transcends unto the souls of anarchists. In the modern era, bands like DEATHHAMMER, NEKROMANTHEON, FASTKILL and few others wholeheartedly carrying […]
In the early 1990s, the Czech extreme Metal underground presented a bunch of bands that got their first chance to escape from their practise rooms and play shows that were not a thorn in the flesh of the authorities. The so called real socialism was just swept away and Western democracy took over in Czechoslovakia […]
Hailing from Nuremberg, Germany, the Black / Death Metal three-piece GOATH returns with their second album "II: Opposition", again through Ván Records. The debut "Luciferian Goath Ritual", released only one year ago, had disclosed a band that worships the pioneers of Black and Death Metal from around 1988 to 1998. I can maybe recognize some […]
Slovakia’s SURGERY was formed way back in 2002, then put on hold until 2010, when they came back with an EP and then their debut album, "Descent" in 2012. Come 2018 and their sophomore album, "Absorbing Roots", released via the Czech label Support Underground. Upon first listen, I thought that SURGERY incorporates lots of variation […]
