Wow, here we have a tough one. I actually don’t know where to start since it’s not my thing to just bash a band’s music I don’t like because there’s usually at least something positive to find, but here we just reached a whole new level. KLYNT is a 4-piece who according to the band-members […]
PENTHOS is a good Death Metal act coming from the UK. “Lifeless Haze“ is their second demo, released independently on a digital format back in 2014 and now is available for the first time on tape thanks to Visceral Circuitry Records, run by the same guy behind Nihilistic Holocaust. The first track, ‘Black Death’, has […]
The first time I came across the Caco-Daemon was the opening track of DEICIDE’s second album "Legion". The chorus "Satan Spawn, the Caco-Daemon" is one hell of a catchy tune. But back to this release. Germany based SOULDEVOURER are presenting their first demo via the small underground label Caco-Daemon Records, a label which focused on […]
REACTOR from the Ukraine (not to be confused with the Swiss Death Metallers, that became SICKENING GORE after their one and only demo release "The Tribunal Above" in 1991 – Frank) are active now since thirty years aleady and "The Funnel" is already their ninth album. They started as a Thrash Metal act and developed from that […]
Let me just throw this out in the open. It’s no secret. Since 1981, ANVIL has seen their share of ups and downs, struggles, disappointments and albums that fell to the wayside. Anyone who’s seen "ANVIL: The Story Of ANVIL" has witnessed the Thrash / Heavy / Power Metal band playing to audiences of about […]
VELD are a pleasant surprise. From 1995 – 2001 the outfit from Poland and Belarus was known as V.E.L.D. but with their debut they abbreviated to VELD. "Daemonic: The Art Of Dantalian" is just album number four, not that much for a time of 23 years, but that should not prejudice the quality of the […]
SLOW is a very appropriate moniker for the music which this Belgian based Funeral Doom entity delivers at a glacial pace. Crushing monstrous riffs SLOWly ooze out of the speakers, accompanied by rumbling bass lines and percussion that makes a funeral march sound quite uptempo and jolly in comparison, which is all topped off with […]
This release is a re-release of the EP NAGA put out 2016, which was only available on vinyl, so this time it is on CD with remastered sound and the bonus track ‘Worm’. When it comes to writing reviews I always try to get a second opinion, which means reading other reviews. Mostly my opinion […]
Everlasting Spew Records from Italy is a fine label and has released some very cool stuff so far. The debut album “Soul Demise” by MAZE OF SOTHOTH is such a high quality product. I would describe MAZE OF SOTHOTH as a semi technical brutal Death Metal band, not far away from its country mates HIDEOUS […]
VALGRIND is the main entrance to Valhalla according to the Norse mythology. So, one would expect a band from Nordic lands to take the name and play Viking Metal. Well, ah, no. This band VALGRIND comes from Italy, they exist since 1993, so newcomers they are not, and so far have released two full-lengths and […]
