Lost Realm Records proceed with their quest to retrieve highly obscure releases from the eighties, and so here we have a mini CD with the demo recorded in 1986 by SHEOL HADES (both words having the same basic meaning, realm of the dead). It was their sole material to ever witness the light of day, […]
It’s the year 2017 and every US Metal band that released some songs in the 1980s has been honoured with a proper re-release of their often manageable discography. Every band? I’m not sure. But somehow STRYCHNINE from Kent, WA have been overlooked for quite a long time. But now this has changed. Lost Realm Records […]
This one goes out to those of you who even think that Lo-Fi still sounds too good and commercial and only accept No-Fi productions. KAPALA from Kolkota, India, just released their first musical assault, an EP called “Infest Cesspool”. And it will be a dream for anyone who thinks that SODOM sounded too commercial ever […]
Somehow I expected a lot from this Chicago band (it features an ex-CENOTAPH (Mexico) member who moved to Chicago) from the moment I saw one of ’em wearing an OZ t-shirt (well it may sound weird to some of you but when somebody wears such an unusual thing then it may mean that actually the […]
The merchants of death and destruction from Baltimore, Maryland have returned with yet a demo, displaying six tracks of punishment and torture. Downtuned raw Death Metal caged within an universe of chaos and doom, this is dark, grimy and evil. There are some good guitar riffs and blasting drum patterns, and the guttural growls spiced […]
THE CHASM… a marked interruption of continuity… an abyss of eternal fall… with no boundaries to behold… and that is exactly what the music on this new album from this band is all about. No boundaries. Eleven songs of some of the most expressive, emotional and obscure invoking Metal one can get. Over an hour […]
This is actually the third album from these four French demons, creators of a very interesting form of Doom / Black / Death. Although they do use the doomy auras in a very effective way, when they decide to play in faster tempos they do it pretty well. In fact at times they reminded me […]
After three splits and an EP, Saarland, Germany’s SACRILEGIOUS RITE has unleashed a beast of an album. In its blackened Death mode, Ex Ipsis-Mors has written songs to stagger the seething demons within our soul. More Black than Death, the first full-length "Summoned From Beyond" presents a culmination of old school tracks that consistently deliver […]
KHAZAD DÛM is not only the Dwarfish name of the mines of Moria in Tolkien’s epic “The Lord Of The Rings”, but also the moniker of a pretty new band from the Brazilian town of Uberlândia. Founded in 2014, the three-piece released two digital demos to date and recently unleashed their first physical output. It’s […]
ÆRA is a new two-men project hailing from the USA, which is only active since this year. They already delivered their first tunes in form of the demo release "Of Forsworn Vows" which now gets re-released as a proper EP via Aeternitas Tenebrarum Musicae Fundamentum. Deeply influenced by the Norwegian Black Metal scene of the […]
