I like “Renewal”. I mean I have always liked that album of the band that sounds like KREATOR doing more of industrialized / Hardcore Metal. Wait, it was KREATOR? Oh, my… then I guess I have to judge them against their first albums and then for us old Metalheads, this is pure… wait! Ok, 90s […]
After 3 full-lengths, GOREGAST’S EP "Covered In Skin" includes 3 tracks and 14 minutes of brutal Death Metal in glorious unison with each other (it was originally released back in 2013 as a 2 track vinyl only 7" – Frank). Unlike some EPs that are simply throw-away songs just to get them out there to […]
REQUIEM from Switzerland should at least be known to a bunch of you guys, as they are active for more than a decade now. With "Global Restistance Rising" they release their already sixth opus after a longer break of seven years, this time via F.D.A. Records, who nowadays are also a guarantee for high class […]
Long-time running NECROPHOBIC are offering again an surpassing album. Every release during their 27 years enduring career had its charms. From the start with creating Death Metal upon the base of Thrash Metal, later on combining it with filigree melodies plus Black Metal atmosphere and ending up in one hour long albums with symphonic elements. […]
1990 was a very important year in the annals of Thrash Metal and Heavy Metal in general. It was a sort of watershed, that on one side started the decline of a saturated scene after a decade in which tons of new bands and extreme genres saw the light, on the other encouraged many key […]
My first idea was to begin this review with some thoughts about the album cover, but on the second approach I decided it is simply not worth it. Like this whole four-track EP is nothing but a big fail. DIRTY CONNECTIONS from Germany released their debut "Sextreme Dynamite" three years ago and although I am […]
Lumbering riffs lurch forward as the veil lifts. No blistering speed, only the confident tempo of a despot. There is no hurry – there is a tone to be set. It is like the nightfall: it comes not at once, but slowly, its coming inevitable. These Finns merge Death with Black Metal and the outcome […]
Spain and its sunny climes is not known for producing Funeral Doom Death bands who sound like they were conceived in the more colder regions of northern Europe but ATARAXY sound just like that. Their sorrowful sounding lamentations of death and darkness sounding more like it is the work of a band from Finland, UK […]
Chile’s evil Death Metal brethren of THY SERPENT’S CULT released their third full-length album "Supremacy Of Chaos" late last year, an album that would turn to be the last from the madmen’s hands, as they disbanded not that long after having the album ready for release. Though three of the members are already ready with […]
April is going to be a damn good month for me and it is all thanks to Dissonance Productions. The UK label has decided to reissue PUNGENT STENCH’s back catalog as well as an unreleased album and threw in some added bonus material as well. I thought with all the turmoil happening in the PUNGENT […]
