EURYNOMOS is a band formed in 2014 featuring Okkulto (the vocalist in DESASTER’s first three albums). In this past couple of years they released three 7" EPs through Iron Pegasus Records. The current CD, "The Trilogy Singles", gathers all of the three EPs (and ends with a new extra track). Knowing the roster of Iron […]
The is the debut EP from the Costarican band CULTO NEGRO. This band features member and ex – members of other local bands such as CORPSE GARDEN, PAGANUS DOCTRINA and DEMENCIA. With such line-up encompassing Crossover, Death and Black Metal bands, one would expect something totally different than what CULTO NEGRO is all about: blackened […]
Started back in 2003 under a different name, CONCEIVED BY HATE is one of those overlooked gems in the underground. Their debut LP "Pestilence Reborn" from 2012 already showed a good direction in terms of identity: a relentless attack of mid-paced Death / Thrash Metal. And their sophomore album, "Death & Beyond" expands further into […]
Colombian Thrash Metal outfit BRAIN DAMAGED started back in 2007. It was until 2012 that they put out their first material, namely the "Dosis De Metal" EP. When a friend of mine recommended me the EP, I gave it a chance, but it didn’t spark my interest. Fast forward to 2016 and their debut album […]
The Ukraine’s NORDWITCH has only been around since 2015 and already released their first full-length "Mørk Profeti". That didn’t take long. And the album sounds more like a band that’s been together for a few years. To be honest, the first time listening to this, I had no idea that the vocals were by female […]
An American band formed in 2004, playing a melodic form of Black Metal. It reminds me of mid period GEHENNA, some EMPEROR and some bits of early ENSLAVED too. And this comes with a very good production, and also a very good performance. The sound is also quite good, it is not too polished, yet […]
Coming from Spain, this is the second full-length of this band of pure terror. The band name might be misleading, as for some reason it kinda sounds Power Metallish, but let me assure you that there is no Power Metal here… just pure unadulterated Death / Black / Doom Metal with a lot of distortion […]
Ok, a band formed in 2010 and already with 6 full-length albums? From Russia, this one member band presents their last album, and I must say it is a quite good one. Melodic Black Metal with some Death overtones, not that far away from bands like early DARK FUNERAL, DISSECTION or SACRAMENTUM with more blackened […]
Now THIS is Metal. The Ukraine has produced a filthy, down and dirty Black Metal militia that burns the soul with their debut album "Violent Death Abomination". When I listen to Metal, I need something that kicks ass. I demand a swift punch in the teeth (metaphorically of course). I want all the goodness in […]
CELESTIAL CROWN is a band from Estonia that is already active since 1999 and “Rebirth” is their 5th full-length album. The band plays Gothic / Doom Death Metal influenced by bands like ANATHEMA, MY DYING BRIDE or THEATRE OF TRAGEDY. Providing the right soundtrack for the coming winter season, the band starts slowly with the […]
