Polish horde NEKRAPE are active in the underground since 2012 already and after one demo release they finally present their first full-length in form of “The Hypostasis Of The Archons”. The album consists of eleven tracks but with a very tight running time of hardly 27 minutes. The band plays a filthy mixture of primitive […]
If you were always looking for a compilation that gives you a huge overview on the Polish Thrash Metal underground, you don’t need to continue reading, since you found what you’re looking for. You are able to discover eleven bands with two or three songs each, which means a total of 24 songs of Thrash […]
TERRORDOME is a Polish Crossover band that released stuff in a bunch of compilations and EPs and splits since they formed in 2005. This is their second album and it is pretty much what one might expect. They play well, have a brutal and speedy sound, and a lot of humour; beginning with the cover […]
And here we have a fine split 7" featuring two Finnish bands. NAPALM TED play an effective kind of old school Death / Crust Punk in which you can clearly hear all the instruments and actually realize the guys play well! They experiment a bit, mainly with the vocals (with variable results – they use […]
I’m definitely not the biggest fan of live albums or bootlegs but sometimes there are live recordings which definitely kick ass and this is the case here. The sound of “Death Kurwa! Live In Warsaw 2013” is good but not perfect, it’s more like a bootleg recording. But don’t get me wrong “Death Kurwa” sounds […]
This band was formed back in 2005 in Poland and since the beginning they have been playing the same brand of Thrash / Hardcore or Crossover if you will. They are sounding like D.R.I. in their more metallic days, and have bits of Thrash like ANTHRAX, S.O.D., NUCLEAR ASSAULT and the more metallic Hardcore bands […]
Some bands are meant to be great just by the calibre of their members. RUINOUS couldn’t be an exception to the rule by incorporating former (or current) members of well-established bands like GOREAPHOBIA, INCANTATION, FUNEBRARUM or DISMA, but it also brings a lot of responsibility and maybe some pressure on the musicians. Formed when Alex […]
As I try to escape from the frenzied reactions that Trump’s election has provoked today, I decided to give this short EP a listen and that was certainly the day’s biggest event for me, especially after the 15th time I am on it in a row. On the A side, ‘Necroreaper’ starts with a short […]
DOMINHATE hails from Pordenone, Northern-East Italy, and if you’re not familiar with these guys, you have to know that this EP is the follower of their debut album "Toward The Light", released in 2014. "Emissaries Of Morning" is a shorter, less than twenty minutes, development of their dark, aggressive and nihilistic Death Metal. It’s a […]
URFAUST always feels like a "new" band to me, even though they were founded 13 years ago and "Empty Space Meditation" is their sixth album already (not counting the split with CIRCLE OF OUROBORUS and the "Ritual Music For The True Clochard" compilation). I don’t know why that is. But one reason, apart from growing […]
