Sometimes you just need some form of Metal other than extreme. Sweden’s Heavy Metal act STORMGOAT is here to fill in that gap. Relying on an old school sound with a little biker bar vibe mixed in, Andreas Persson (guitars and vocals), Anders Eklund (bass) and Johan Ahs (drums) bring us a raucous, rollicking party […]
During the past more than twenty years, there were a felt bazillion albums that paid tribute to more or less important bands. But as far as I remember, there was not any tribute to EXCITER yet. Why that? EXCITER was a very important band for the evolution of Speed and Thrash Metal in the early […]
With "Ripping Blasphemy" NECROMUTILATOR has released their third release. After the demo "The Devil Arisen" from 2011 and their debut "Eucharistic Mutilations" from 2014, this band from Italy continues with their mix of Thrash and Black Metal. "Eucharistic Mutilations" was a cool record with intense Metal in a very raw and heavy production. What stood […]

ANTICHRIST is a Thrash Metal horde from Växjö in Sweden and already active since 2005. In 2011 already, German fine label High Roller Records saw their potential and released their first full-length “Forbidden World”. The band plays a very rough Thrash Metal version in the vein of the early 80s releases of SLAYER, DESTRUCTION or […]
Just when I thought most of the Death Metal records coming out recently had an enormous lack of conviction and played with zero emotion, here comes ENGULFED from Istanbul, Turkey with their debut album "Engulfed In Obscurity" to prove me wrong. 49 minutes of incredibly good music! Wow, just wow! I was already curious when […]
5 crushing tracks of old school Death Metal all the way. This to me takes the best of both, Black and Death Metal, thought I would say this is way more Death Metal than Black Metal. To me only some of the Black Metal shrieks here and there and also vocal parts would qualify as […]
A one man band playing Doomed Black Metal with vocals nearer to a whisper rather than shrieking screams. And to be honest, they do it very good actually. At times sounding a bit hypnotic and repetitive, but in fact that is exactly what the band wanted to create, a state of mind that suddenly transforms […]
Travel back to the mid 90s when Black Metal from Norway was the thing in most media. Death Metal has lost its momentum and Black Metal appears to be the most dangerous form of music. The tales of murder, church burnings and hatred. It was a time for the first IMMORTAL, EMPEROR or DARKTHRONE (now […]
