DESTRUCTION have been around a long, long time… from 1982 to be exact, and they’ve released many, many albums…15 to be exact. And they still rule the genre. Germany’s always spat out excellence in their Metal in all genres. But DESTRUCTION are at the top of the list in no-nonsense Thrash the way we like […]
I was quite skeptical before listening to DEGIAL’s new album “Predator Reign” because their second album “Savage Mutiny” totally sucked in my eyes. The debut “Death’s Striking Wings” was awesome, an ass kicking wild beast of savage old school Death Metal. And I loved the band’s incredible killer live performance at Killtown Deathfest 2011, which […]
The German Death Metal scene is thriving, and has been that for a good while now, I think. One of the bands that has done a good release is ARCHAIC THORN, who released this mini album back in 2015, and is still letting us sit here, waiting in agony for new noise from their hands. […]
A band shines the most when playing live. Yet, I am not so much a fan of live recordings… weird. Still for a live recording to be something worthy of my money it must have something special. Usually in extreme Metal we are used to have live recordings as bonus tracks with sound qualities varying […]
Spanish lunatics MORBID FLESH celebrate their 10th anniversary with the release of their second full-length album "Rites Of The Mangled“. And this second output really turned out pretty well. The opener ‘Circle Cursed‘ is a really groovy old school monster. Dark grunts with catchy riffs and cool leads and breaks mixed with good drumming and […]
This band’s second full-length is called "Metal Still Means Danger", a title I can relate to, seeing the watering down and deviations that took place these past two decades. INSULTERS from Barcelona, Spain, play a kind of aggressive, straight forward, somewhat simplistic yet well played Thrash Punk with blackish vocals. The Punk parts are undeniable […]
Good old DEADFLESH has returned from the grave, still with Allan Hartvigsen at the helm, who has found three new soldiers to deliver the madness, together with him. The Danish band has a long good history, as they started out in 1994, and has one official demo and the two full-lengths "Unreleased Hate" and "World […]
A band that doesn’t need any introduction or bio info whatsoever are citymates SINISTER from the Netherlands. "Hate" and especially "Cross The Styx" are classics today and with this year’s "Syncretism" (2017) the band proves its power is far from lacking after a quarter of a century. A lot of you will be familiar with […]
I live not that far away from Cologne and so I was quite curious when I heard something about a Death Metal band from Cologne called JUMPIN’ JESUS. I immediately had to order their demo tape tape when it came out in 1990 and it totally blew me away… That was Death Metal on a […]
Canada’s long-time Thrash Metal outfit INFERNÄL MÄJESTY have been kicking dirt in the faces of listeners for three decades. Their second full-length "Unholier Than Thou" from 1998 shreds with the best of them. Still going strong currently, a good indication of why they’ve lasted all these years is represented in this album. The starting off […]
