MONOLITHE is a French Funeral Doom act that is active since 2001 and “Nebula Septem”, their seventh full-length will be released early next year by their countrymates from Les Acteurs De L’Ombre Productions. MONOLITHE music is labeled as Funeral Doom Metal in different sources on the web. I never heard their early stuff; in fact, […]
Today we are talking about a really classic Death / Thrash Metal band called DEVASTATION from Chicago, which was formed back in 1986 (please do not confuse the band with the other three versions from Corpus Christi, New York or Dallas). DEVASTATION had an influence on numerous extreme Metal bands including NIHILIST, AT THE GATES, […]
Released a few years back, this is without doubt the best work of these crazy Brazilian Death / Black Metal mongers. Although MYSTIFIER are more known for their bestial, raw and demonic style of their early recordings and first two albums, there is no doubt this is their most mature release. Previous to this album […]
I think most of you will have heard the name FUNERAL NATION, even though a lot of you might not be familiar with their music yet. The story behind the band from Chicago is a story of mishap, bad timing and misconception. Formed by former members of FUNERAL BITCH and ABOMINATION in 1989, FUNERAL NATION […]
‘Silver Dagger And The Breathless Smile’ ends this new record from French AOSOTH, an epic track with grand proportions, extreme progressions and degression, darkness and eerie sinister light. A tour de force of emotions and mind-shattering moments, and throwbacks to the grandeur of when the second wave of Black Metal ruled the Northern Skies – […]
UK based DAMNATIONS HAMMER releasing their second album called “Unseen Planets, Deadly Spheres”, which follows the path of their debut “Disciples Of The Hex”, musically as well as lyrically. DAMNATIONS HAMMER fully dedicate their style of Doom / Death as an “homage to the avantgarde Metal of the 1980s.” to quote the band. For that […]
REVOLTING is an established name within the league of bands that (re)represent the Stockholm sound. "Monolith Of Madness" is already their sixth full-length album and follows "Visages Of The Unspeakable" (2015). The sound has a remarkable melodic side to it despite the accent on a heavy crushing sound. If you’re familiar with the music of […]
During the last years, there was a severe return of old fashioned Death Metal like it used to be played in the early 1990s. Many great new bands from all over the world came and still come out of the pits of hell to show the world how Death Metal was and still is meant […]
It was only last year that the German three piece INTO COFFIN released their great first album “Into A Pyramid Of Doom”. Their progressive approach to Doom Metal really hit my nerve, since they refined their Doom Metal with elements of Death and Black Metal, thus creating a unique blend of great music. Now, a […]
DEATHCULT is a band that seems to be totally immersed in the concept of Norwegian Black Metal. The members are quite active in the scene, namely brothers Thurzur and Skagg, who also play in GAAHLSKAGG (with Gaahl of GORGOROTH fame) and bass player Hoest, all with curricula that include bands like TAAKE and GORGOROTH. A […]
