First I thought of starting this review by comparing SÖLICITÖR with other female-fronted (Speed) Metal bands, but then again it’s far too simplistic to focus on the sex of any of the band members. Let’s cut straight to the chase instead and listen to their sound! They do kind of share their style with SAVAGE […]
France, Toulouse based Black Metal band ERGHOLAE SOMPTATOR returns with their third full-length release, “À Cort Et À Cri”. Formed in 2013, the pair of Veneur Bouquet (drums, vocals) and Limier Louis-Honoré (guitars, bass, vocals) keep growing on by playing a raw, aggressive, classique Black Metal sound while exploring avant-garde elements throughout their 12-year go. This […]
DEVOURER, from Sweden, returns from the black depths of hell with their latest full-length album, “The Wicked Ones”, released through Iron, Blood And Death Corporation on CD. After more than two decades of creating raw Black Metal, this duo is attacking again this year 2025 with this full-length. “The Wicked Ones” is DEVOURER’s fifth album […]
After releasing a single back in late 2023, Chilean Black Metallers LEX TALIONIS presented last year their debut EP “The Initiation” and this is what I’m going to describe here. Simple: raw, violent and dense Black Metal to the core, delivered with ferocity and a huge sense of melody that speaks the tongue of the […]
So, imagine my surprise, when I started up this latest release from PESTIFER and the sound that blasted forth from my speakers. I was like whoah?! What happened to this band?! Wasn’t PESTIFER all widdly-didly Tech Death? The sound raging from my speakers was the second coming of KRISIUN. You also can throw in a […]
ANHAGUAMA is one of those names that’s been lurking in the underground for 18 years now, keeping the flame of raw Death / Black Metal burning in its purest, most unholy form. Formed back in 2007 in Arujá, São Paulo, these maniacs have always walked the left hand path, and “Formula Of Zos Vel Thanatos” […]
“Ascension To The Chaos” is a compilation, featuring the releases after the debut “Lucifer’s Cosmogony” from 2018. These are the two songs from the demo “F***ck Off Lambs!!!”, the “Ascension To The Chaos Axis” EP and three live songs, recorded at CreaRock, Santiago de Chile. REBIRTH IN FLAMES are a Black Metal band, active since […]
You’re in for a treat if you worshipped Death and Thrash Metal in its impressionable years. This is the kind of big picture when listening to the recent work of URSULA entitled “Lords Of Impermanence,” that was released by Iron, Blood And Death Corporation in co-operation with Necrolatry Records. These Singaporean Metalers deliver another absolute […]
CORPUS OFFAL’s self-titled debut is here, and if you were a fan of CEREBRAL ROT, prepare for something familiar yet even more… well, offal. Emerging from the remnants of that cult band, CORPUS OFFAL, featuring core members Ian Schwab and Clyle Lindstrom, alongside Jason Sachs and Jesse Shreibman, offers putrid Death Metal, with a healthy […]
It often happens that several contributers sign up for an album, usually for well-known bands. I was all the more surprised that this also happened for CORPUS OFFAL, which was unknown to me at least. So I quickly listened to their two-song demo from last year and indeed, it sounds promising. With their self-titled debut, […]
