The Russian Metal scene is enormous. There are so many bands overthere, many of them which never reach our ears, as they drown in the noise, as many other bands do as well, due to the heaps of demos, EPs and albums being released, both physically and online all the time. Darknagar Records and Satanath […]
I was lucky enough to be growing up in a city that had a great Metal record store in the 80s, so apart from being exposed to literally everything that came out at the time, I had access to the wonderful miracle of demo tapes. And Lord Satan knows I bought them all: from tight […]
Bored and slightly pissed is what I am after sitting here the second time and fully listen to Australia based Black / Death Psychedelic Noise Metal Band PLASMODIUM. Their first record “Enthneognosis” wants to be something like a deep poetic chaos, lyrically and soundwise. It’s not. I mean when it comes to chaotic Jazz like […]
After the bitter-sweet taste that "The Negation" left on many of us, DECAPITATED has crawled back from the woodwork to inject once more a lethal dose of their poison in our nervous system. This time around the Death Metal machine has been sharpened, oiled and seems meaner than before but there’s also a surprise in […]
KORPSESOTURI is a three-piece Death Metal act from Finland and this, a four track EP titled homonym, was self-released by the band (a limited tape version of 50 copies – 25 dark grey and 25 brick red – was released by Caco-Daemon Records). Short songs, simple composition, and lyrics in their mother tongue are what […]
DECAPITATED are besides BEHEMOTH and VADER one of the most popular bands coming from Poland. They return with their full-length number seven via Nuclear Blast. As I missed out their last three records, I was curious to check out their current material and musical direction. The opening track starts promising but already reveals the direction […]
SAMOT is a band from Chile, formed in 2014. A year later they released the demo "The Beginning" and this year (2017) there’s this EP "Across The Abyss". The moniker SAMOT seems to be coming from both members forename written backwards. This EP has four tracks which are in style of Swedish Death / Black […]
VENOM INC (who feature the power trio responsible for such albums as "Prime Evil", "Temples Of Ice" and "The Waste Lands" which are all classic VENOM albums in their own right) have wasted little time in delivering an album full of new material and are most definitely out to prove that this incarnation of the […]
TOXIC HOLOCAUST have not been to my taste since I first heard their first full-length "Evil Never Dies". I thought they were not fast enough as the Thrash I like, and seemed like a bandwagon jumping band and… but wait, I am man enough to eat my words as they are a very competent and […]
When you’ve been releasing music for almost thirty years, fans generally tend to, when asked how they like the new album, reply in a manner such as "Meh" or "Pfft". But with Long Island’s SUFFOCATION, you get an entirely different response… more like "Fucking awesome!" And it’s no shocker. These Death Metal masters have been […]
