INCINERATOR, hailing from Netherlands, is a Death Metal unit that is relatively young in terms of founding and output. Bearing only an EP and a demo to their names, "The Stench Of Distress", released by Raw Skull Recordz, is the group’s debut full-length release. It is far too easy to pander to modern-day Death Metal […]
On that neverending list of reformations, here’s the IRON ANGEL one like it had been announced by drummer Mike in a not so distant past. Just by looking at the line up that composes IRON ANGEL 2007 you can be somewhat sceptical about what the band can deliver these days as only Mike Matthes (who […]
High Roller Records put together a nice package of the first two demo tapes of this German speed force called IRON ANGEL in September of last year. I’m personally not too familiar with the whole IRON ANGEL catalogue and must also admit that I’m not even that much of a fan of their classic “Hellish […]
If the name EVO and an album title like “Warfare” rings a bell in your mind or even sounds familiar, you’re either an old geezer like me or very familiar with the history of Metal. Yes, it really is that EVO, Paul Evans, nearly only known under his nickname and best known for being the […]
For the past decade, Copenhagen, Denmark’s DEUS OTIOSUS have provided us with Metal that’s part Death, part Thrash and even slightly blackened. Four albums in, "Opposer" continues the onslaught.

In 2004 the band reformed with a new line-up and recently had their demos reissued via Terror From Hell Records. While they have been […]
These savage Swedes unleash a devastating and blistering Death / Thrash assault upon the senses on this their 3rd album. They plough the same vicious musical furrow as fellow Swedes MERCILESS and HYPNOSIA, possessing the same perfect balance between the all out brutality and heaviness of Death Metal and the raging aggression of Thrash and […]
Swedish Death Metal outfit MAIM are back after six years of more silence than violence and it seems like there has been quite a lot going on within this bunch of grave-robbers. As of recently, the band operates as a duo only with the drummer and one half of the guitar duo remaining. Even though […]
Sweden are back, the dusty sounds of almost forgotten times is blasting forward, and not only in Sweden actually, it is all of Europe that has started to get back to the roots, and showcasing what old school Death Metal with punch and feeling is all about, after a good deal of years with a […]
Gregor Mackintosh of PARADISE LOST launched VALLENFYRE back in 2010 to combat his inner demons and to process his musical roots. Alongside musicians such as Hamish Glencross (ex – MY DYING BRIDE) and Adrian Erlandsson of AT THE GATES it shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that they make convincing Death Metal spiced up […]
