This stuff is excellent! I rarely listen to Doom, but a release like this excites to go out look for equally killer gems. DWOOM is from Skellefteå in Sweden. Although formed in 2010, this demo called "Pale Mare Demo MMXVII" is their first release. Better wait than overdo it, right? Well, the result is pretty […]
"A Grand Magnificience" saw its first light of day in 1998 on tape by Immortal Souls Productions while the CD version was handled by Shindy Productions. The CD included the "…And There Came The Tears With Christ" demo tape (first released in 1995) as bonus tracks in order to make it a full-length (and value […]
In the last few years, the French Black Metal scene brought some real fine bands to light, or better to dark, if you might excuse this rather cheap pun. Anyway, France gave us unique and original Black Metal bands that really stood out of the masses. So, when I got hold of this album and […]
Stockholm, Sweden’s IN REVERENCE, after seven active years, have released their first full-length entitled "The Selected Breed". A prior demo and EP each have helped provide a direction for this band to lead to. Filip Danielsson (vocals), Pedram Khatibi Shahidi (guitars) and Oscar Krumlinde (drums) have, through five years from their last release, molded themselves […]
Yes, I admit it. NERVOCHAOS is a band which I am a bit biased; one of the few Brazilian bands I have seen live constantly over the last five years, with a peculiar Death Metal style which may have not given them the same exposure than their fellow countrymen KRISIUN, but has served them well […]
FROST… CELTIC FROST… the very first image in my mind is the cover art for the “Emperor’s Return” every time I listen to that name. And yes, I was there when ‘Cherry Orchids’ was on badly dubbed VHS tapes… To imagine it was the same band that released “Morbid Tales”… well it was surely a […]
When you think of CELTIC FROST, you’ll probably think of "To Mega Therion" or "Morbid Tales". You’d almost forget this band released the notorious "Into The Pandemonium". This album is one in line of in total four albums, "Morbid Tales", "To Mega Therion", "Vanity / Nemesis" and this one, that are re-released by Noise Records. […]
When it comes to the point what and when Death Metal really started, a lot of people mention October of the year 1985. In that month, the Metal world was shocked by two releases that were finally too much for most traditional Metal heads and even some Thrashers were stretched thin by the sheer brutal […]
"Morbid Tales" is arguably one of the most important records of all times, regardless of the genre. This nasty little beast – a monstrous quantum leap after the end of HELLHAMMER – has opened doors that hardly anyone dared to look beyond before. I could fill volumes with anecdotes and personal stories about how important […]
ASSIMILATION is a rather new band coming from Canada and this is their debut album. Their music style is very violent Death / Thrash Metal which in fact reminds me quite a lot of MALEVOLENT CREATION with some doses of early CANNIBAL CORPSE and also early DEICIDE come to mind. The band is a take-no-prisoner […]
