As always with bands I do not know, I first listened to the release a few times without acquiring any further information. And that is why I was amazed at the break in both style and sound. But that makes some kind of sense, because it is the EP “Blood Sustenance” from 2020 and the […]
Is there anything better than listening to the voice of the great Kate de Lombaert? I doubt it. Few things in life can match hearing this woman sing. There have been hours and hours and hours of my life spent listening to her tirelessly. Always at the peak of every possible vocal range and always […]
STAINLESS is a Heavy Metal band from Portland, Oregon that, to ears like mine, resonates with a single word: “savage”. Yes, like a wild animal. Like a savage animal from the harsh jungle that arrives to devour its prey. Charged with the air of classic Hard Rock, STAINLESS is capable of combining sounds, styles and […]
Hum… Let’s see… I don’t know where to start… Could a simple mortal like me say something about MONSTROSITY that hasn’t been said already? I don’t think so. I feel that anything I say already rests in the annals of the band’s history. So I don’t have much to contribute really, except that they have […]
Okay, I’m about to go on a rant here, so you may have to excuse me at the onset. Why is a CD being put out of a release from 2018? I can’t tell if it’s a remaster or something special I’m not aware of (simply because it is long out of print – Frank). […]
Rewritten and re-recorded songs from the band’s first two albums “Bathyscape” and “Thooi”, is what we get on SKAPHOS’ first release on Les Acteurs De L’Ombre Productions. The two mentioned releases have been released by the band back in 2020 and 2022 – and are quite strong releases. I was wondering why it took a […]
Punk era DARKTHRONE of Death Metal. With “The Eternal Hunger”, the Swedish band HARROWED have crafted an album that doesn’t ask for permission: it bursts in, smashes everything to smithereens and leaves you with a ringing in your ears that smacks of satisfaction and nihilism. Released via Dying Victims Productions, this album marks the band’s […]
Formed way back in 1997, this long running German band presents their tenth full length album, and they have kept their style almost intact, which is a type of melodic Death Metal with a few Black Metal touches here and there. I can also sense a bit of influence of bands that are more related […]
Speed Metal from Greece, based on Horror stories, guess that the name will tell you something. This is their second album, and it has a lot of energy recalling heroes of the past like HEATHEN, REALM, RIOT, AGENT STEEL and similar glories, in a time when it was Heavy Metal played at high speed with […]
From the ancient and sacred soil of Athens, Greece, TRIUMPHER came out with their third full length offering, “Piercing The Heart Of The World”. Following the impact of their 2023 debut “Storming The Walls” and the furious drama of 2024’s “Spirit Invictus”, this quintet which is led by Mars Triumph on vocals, alongside guitarists Christopher […]
