Originally released back in 1991, this is one of the many promos I once received while doing a fanzine back in those days. By the time this was released we already had CANNIBAL CORPSE around, a band that was compared many times with this five piece from Chicago. Both bands used down tuned guitars and […]
Things seem to be going really good with EXTREMITY these days. They have their debut album coming out soon on 20 Buck Spin and they are also opening up for Death Metal gods ASPHYX on their West Coast tour of the USA. Yep, you can say things are on the up and up with them. […]
I remember well when I read the particular name of TZUN TZU, a Death Metal band from Adelaide, Australia. It was 2006 or so, the cover artwork of the EP "Wihout Zen", a representation of a Japanese holy man, differentiated itself in the distributions from the splatter / gore oriented ones, so hyped at the […]
Almost five years passed since the debut full-length of TZUN TZU. The four-piece from Adelaide made us wait a lot before offering another piece of their discograghy, the EP "The Decay Of Golden Gods". Anyway, they still respected the stylistic coordinates of the previous works, optimizing the classic way to play this form of Death […]
Another fine trip into the past is granted currently by Terror From Hell Records, who have resurrected the two demos of disbanded Dutch horde BEYOND BELIEF. The compilation starts with their 1992 demo "Stranded" which brought them the deal with Shark Records back then, who released their first album "Towards The Diabolical Experiment", for which […]
Perfect. The first warm day this year. The kids having fun in the park. Birds are singing. Dogs are barking. Men and women in love with life. My day starts with PROFOUND GRAVE and an intro which leaves no questions about the soon to arise Armageddon. No sun, no hanging in the park for me. […]
Australia’s THE LOOM OF TIME is an amalgamation of different genres (blackened Death / melodic Death / Thrash). It’s a little difficult to pinpoint the exact direction the band is taking with “Nihilreich”, but it’s definitely an enjoyable ride. ‘The Ashes Of Your Fall’ begins with what could best be described as a Layne Staley […]
Allston, Massachusetts has bred a blackened Death Metal band which envelops everything I like about this genre. DEATHGOD MESSIAH’s cassette EP "Phallic Flagellation" is a straightforward, quick and to the point deliverance of blasphemy and sex. The barbaric quality of the recording keeps it raw and powerful. A two-minute intro blasts into the aggressive repugnance […]
MUTILATOR’s debut record "Immortal Force" recently got re-released and it is more than a real pleasure to have this Metal Extremo gem available again. There’s certainly no need to analyse such a classsic record in depth since most people who frequently visit this website are sure as hell more than familiar with the music on […]
SERPENTS ATHIRST is a barbaric underground Black Metal band from Sri Lanka. Formed in 2011, the band released a split ("Prevail") with SOLITARY DEPRESSION in that same year. Also a demo in 2012, carrying the same title which contained the same tracks from the split, plus an extra track. This year (2017), Cyclopean Eye Productions […]
