This magazine is from Bulgaria, an unusual country when it comes to extreme music. BRUTALLICA is devoted to Death Metal mostly, with Black Metal bands featured here and there. The magazine is presented in a very professional manner, with glossy paper and a full coloured cover. The layout reminds me of the defunct X-TREME NOIZE […]
Let’s face the facts: no matter how good they are – fanzines are really difficult to sell, especially nowadays, when the internet is a way easier, quicker and cheaper information source for many Metalheads around the world… With that in mind it’s an even riskier venture to publish a zine whose content consists of pure […]
The fourth full-length by Danish Death Metallers UNDERGANG is keeping up with their brand of old school riffs and atmosphere. The album is a return to the past in all aspects, presenting simple yet very engaging riffs recorded in typical 90s tones. Despite their music carries enough characteristics similar to the golden age of Swedish […]
Dima Andreyuk is back with the fourth installment of TOUGH RIFFS, a Death Metal report featuring old and new acts ripping up the scene. The whole zine is plastered with interviews, no news section, no reviews, just bands answering Dima’s questions, making up good informative reads. We are again getting a good deal of bands […]
These Canadian bad boys were first formed in 1985 under the moniker ASYLUM, before they quickly changed name to AGGRESSION and delivered the legendary Thrasher "The Full Treatment", which recently has been re-released on Xtreem Music, an album with an intensly mix of Speed Metal, as only Canadians can do it, Thrash and what all […]
Up until some time ago I was under the false impression (due to the band’s name) that RIBSPREADER was another boring Gore Metal band. Hopefully, I was TOTALLY wrong! Contrary to my initial expectation, RIBSPREADER deliver a great piece of traditional Swedish Metal era 1991-1992. If they actually existed back then, then the "Vicar Mortis" […]
You have to give some credit to Rogga Johansson. I mean the man is a riff-machine that can write albums non-stop every month for 20 years in a row and all of them will have something memorable in all of them. And while Rogga has 15+ active projects (and even has time to participate as […]
With a plethora of bands under Justin Stubbs’ (vocals) belt, such as the solo meanderings of HILLS OF SEFIROTH and a very, very brief stint in Henry Derek’s (ACT OF DEFIANCE) LILITU (of which there were no further albums with the new line-up), he’s fully come into his own with the doom-ridden Death Metal of […]
I have to admit that the recent comeback of classic Metal nearly completely passed me by until now. Of course I have heard one or another album and especially checked out new stuff from old heroes, like the DENNER / SHERMAN album or the fantastic latest IRON MAIDEN album. But as far as those highly […]
My first encounter with the mighty AVULSED was back in 1999 with the compilation “Seven Years Of Decay” that was released by a label in Colombia called Quirofano Productions. By the time it was easier for me here in Mexico to get a hold of productions released by Central or South American labels rather than […]
