Thrashy Death Metal outfit DEAD CONSPIRACY from Portland, Oregon, courtesy of Mike Abominator (vocals), Chris Carey and Jeff Taylor (guitars), Eric Dorsett (bass) and Eric A (drums), give us a bloodbath of riveting tracks on their second full-length "Dead Conspiracy". Plenty of demos, an EP and a compilation have preceded this album in a history […]
Once upon a time in 1983 in Herne, a little town close to Bochum and Dortmund in Germany, a band called AVENGER were created by 3 kids named Peter "Peavy" Wagner, who sings and plays bass, Jörg Michael who likes to play drums and Jochen Schröder who knew how to shred the six-stringer. Guitarists Alf […]
"The Great Beyond" is CROWORD’s first full-length album. This Austrian five piece plays straight forward Death Metal with a bit of melodic side helpings at times. They previously had an EP out and that was called “Manifest Of Mortal Sickness” and some songs from that are on this as well. There were some good and […]
Never came across the word "offal", the dictionary told me that this term means carrion respectively "the parts of a butchered animal that are considered inedible by human beings". Bon appetit! But this EP is in no way inedible, at least not for a Grindcore fan. The main influence are bands like early CARCASS, early […]
Italian horde BLOOD OF SEKLUSION are meanwhile active now since ten years and what is better to celebrate the first decade band history than a second full-length album. Surprisingly the band sounds like they have been founded in Sweden back in the early 90s. Somewhere between ENTOMBED during their era between “Clandestine” and “Wolverine Blues” […]
Beer, beer, fuck yeah, beer. I was, I am and I always will be an enormous fan of jokes with and about beer. I believe this world has nothing left to offer then low level humor about drinking. Therefore I explicitly support every scene which focuses solely on its own egoistic way of excitement. Especially […]
One of my favorite Finnish bands right now are back at it, with a slap of demented madness thrown straight at our ears. You might have read a review or two of the band’s material on these pages by now, and know that these guys started out as pure inkognito personas, and little by little […]
Even though almost all good music has been made, and remade a couple of times, it is still great to stumble across a new band, kicking it with new energy and fresh intensity, even if old masters can be found as pure inspirational sources, for the music and delivery, as there isn’t anything bad in […]
The technical brutal Death Metal champions known as ORIGIN celebrate their twentieth anniversary with "Unparalleled Universe", their seventh full-length. If the previous one, "Omnipresent" has been considered a false step in their career, they are still a “love or hate” band that feed their excited fans with a new chapter every three years while being […]
Peru and South America has a long running tradition of extreme Metal bands who sound raw, primitive and crude. Lima based EVIL SPECTRUM keep up that tradition and unleash a savage deathly blackened thrashing onslaught upon the senses with this their 2nd EP. These Peruvians churn out a sound full of sharp scything riffing, ripping […]
