About three years after the predecessor "One To Conquer", Finlands Death Metal horde DECAYING return with their already fourth full-length album "To Cross The Line", this time via F.D.A. Records. The opener ‘To Cross The Line’ is an uptempo track with some Thrash influences but also with all already known trademarks of DECAYING. Pure, devastating […]
Leipzig, Germany’s EVIL WARRIORS are a difficult band to pinpoint. The band name sounds like an 80s Thrash or Power Metal name by a band that really put no effort into naming themselves. Musically, there are mostly Black Metal elements, with some Thrash and Death infused within. But oddly enough, their sound all works together […]
Are you into the so-called retro Thrash? Me not since there is nothing original or really interesting that you cannot find in a RAZOR, HALLOWS EVE, DARK ANGEL, SODOM, MANDATOR, ABBATOIR, CYCLONE, KRUIZ or DREAM DEATH album. And when I need something different into Thrash territory I like to listen to CORONER, SKYCLAD’s first album, […]
This review is about legendary STILLBORN from Sweden and their comeback (from the grave) album "Nocturnals", released by Black Lodge Records on October 27, 2017. A little late, but still current and worthy, I would like to write a few lines about this really really good Gothic / Doom Metal masterpiece. Just in case, you […]
THE SATAN’S SCOURGE are a band from Colombia (meanwhile relocated to Argentina) and this is a re-release of their first full-length album, less than a year and a half after its original release in their home country. This is total old school South American Black / Thrash / Death Metal. The production is bad, probably deliberately […]
Great artwork (done by Grasenstyle Blood Artwork) on the cover, but the content can not keep the promise. Well, as this demo tape by BLASPHEMOUS PUTREFACTION from Germany is their first output everyone should show a bit of appreciation for their efforts. No one is expecting something brilliant or smashing for the first time musicians […]
The complete catalogue of the forceful GATES OF ISHTAR got re-issued in 2017 and invites you to discover or re-discover these abiding 90s melodic Black / Death Metal masterpieces. Due to unknown reasons, the band’s debut "A Bloodred Path" was the last of three classic albums re-released (probably because Vic Records already re-released it earlier […]
Century Media has picked up the rights to DARK FORTRESS’ first two albums “Profane Genocidal Creations” and “Tales From Eternal Dusk”. The two albums were recently reissued with bonus tracks, changes to the album covers and remastered (a smart move on Century Media’s behalf if you ask me as both albums are solid melodic Black […]
One year has passed since the release of WITCHERY’s sixth full-length album, "In His Infernal Majesty’s Service", but it sounds like they have had enough time and inspiration to write and record another one, so "I Am Legion" brings us their blackened Thrash Metal once more. They have the same renewed line-up of the previous […]
Considering Voices From The Dark Side as a portal for true fans of Heavy Metal, I don’t want to introduce ASPHYX as they are a band to discover (you’re really miserable if you’ve never heard about them). Anyway, here we have a new reissue of their cult debut full-length "The Rack", re-released again as a […]
