When I first pressed play, I thought this was a new DARK TRANQUILLITY record. Then, after a bit, I was thinking, SOILWORK? I just had to reread the band name and title to make sure because, granted, this band is not either of those previous groups. This is a much more modern “new generation” Melodi-Core […]
ATAUDES is a three-piece band hailing from Argentina and “Tempus Edax Rerum” is their sophomore album, released by the fine Spanish label Memento Mori. So this one piqued my interest right away. I remembered two or three Argentinian bands that I really liked back in the day and they always had something different or unique […]
I remember when I first heard ARCTURUS and how they where (and still are) so out of left field for me. The songwriting was so different from my typical CD rotation. I was always asking myself where is the dark, chaotic energy and sound that makes you headbang and play air guitar to? KHÔRA is […]
Okay, my loyal readers, it’s time to get philosophical. As an older Metalhead like me, where do you draw the line between sticking to the old stuff and disregarding the new? It’s always a bit rough to find something that can make you stand up and listen at times. MALPHAS can be that band that […]
Switzerland / Greece based Black Metallers TAÄR released their debut full-length “Catharsis Till Dawn” with strict intent to pay homage to the early ’90s. Since their formation in 2022 and led by international members from Switzerland and Greece, Noctus (bass, vocals), Necro (guitars, bass), V.N (drums) and Tlhoc (guitars), their first effort “Catharsis Till Dawn” […]
Whether it was due to the powerful production and the mighty sound or simply the biblical age of my equipment, but after the first run of ”Ordo Diabolicum” my speakers called the quits. ARAN ANGMAR is a multi-national band and their style can be described as melodic Black / Death Metal with Folk elements. Furthermore […]
Black Metallers GHÖRNT are back with their third album, “Bluetgraf”, an album that sounds dark, fast and nasty. These two maniacs, from Switzerland, throw you straight into a storm of Black Metal that is as raw, loud and full of energy as they could. It’s only about half an hour long, but that’s more than […]
ZMARŁYM are a Polish Black Metal band and “Wielkie Zanikanie” is their second full-length on Godz Ov War Productions. When I looked around for the information on the band, a lot of the fans mentioned their experimental nature which intrigued me. Apparently, their first album had a massive electronic influence, which was immediately a hit […]
There are albums that feel like a long prophecy to be fulfilled. And “Black Sword Thunder Attack” is precisely that kind of album. Released by No Remorse Records on CD and 12″ vinyl, this epic piece is a heavy stone hitting your heart deeply. A cascade of hymns descending to your head like a hammer. […]
“Void” is the third full-length by the Polish atmospheric Black Metal band VARNHEIM and this is their first association with Godz Ov War Productions. At the get-go, VARNHEIM seems to be a straightforward Black Metal band, but as you tend to pay attention to them you realize, this is a modern Black Metal band who […]
