Swedish Metallers CRUCIFYRE have come up with the follow up to 2014’s immensely enjoyable "Black Magic Fire" and the band has now returned with a new offering to the Metal gods. "Post Vulcanic Black" is CRUCIFYRE’s third offering and is now out through Pulverised Records. CRUCIFYRE came up with an almost new line-up for this […]
Thirty-one years ago this awesome Heavy Metal jewel entitled “License To Kill” was originally released, the second full-length in the short MALICE history back in the 80s after their debut, “In the Beginning…” (1985). A sadly unfair underrated album! After “License To Kill”, MALICE released the “Crazy In The Night” EP in 1989, including the […]
Although there are many bands with the name RAPTURE this band from Greece is without doubt the best of the bunch. I already knew them from their first release on Witches Brew Records, and this second album shows the right amount of maturity a band develops from their debut to their second album. Their style […]
Many years ago, Peter Hobbs choose to wield his axe and scream from the top of his lungs, down below, in a hidden dark realm known as Australia and hence HOBBS’ ANGEL OF DEATH was born. Many were quick to call the music the good Mr. Hobbs and friends spew forth on the first demo […]
DESTRUCTION wihtout Schmier is not DESTRUCTION…? Well, according to the band only this release is part of their official discography… even if Schmier is nowhere to be found. I remember back in the day and after the band were touring for “Release From Agony” that things were not moving that good for them in the […]
After releasing the monumental “Eternal Devastation” Germany’s sons of chaos returned with a very good EP paying homage to their mascot, the Mad Butcher in all its glory. This was the time when bands put out EPs to let their fans know they were working on new material, something that got a bit lost in […]
Germany’s High Roller Records are on an old school Thrash kick lately with reissuing several of DESTRUCTION’s early works and in a big way. Not only are we getting the albums remastered (thanks HRR!), a nice booklet insert, but also the albums come with a poster! As we all know the band’s early works did […]
This year sees the reissue of all the classic (more or less) stuff the German Thrash legend DESTRUCTION released in their first creative and destructive period until 1990. Of course this means that the second full-length “Eternal Devastation” is among those re-releases as well. On this album we have the last songs the original line-up […]
Reviewing records for this site often means a journey back in time for me. I’m just not sure if it’s due to being an old geezer that it’s mainly me to tell you about those recent re-releases of classic Speed, Thrash or whatever Metal records. Anyway, since I grew up being a Metalhead in the […]
Clocking in at just under 20 minutes, DESTRUCTION’S 1984 EP "Sentence Of Death" captures what some would call the glory days of Thrash. For a band that’s consistently released music for over thirty years, this EP is pivotal in displaying their sound which has stood the test of time. Schmier (bass, vocals), Mike Sifringer (guitars) […]
