Actually I could keep it quite short here. The reason is quite simple because the debut album by Mumbai based old school Death Metal outfit DARKRYPT is one of the best and most convincing long players in this genre in 2016. And as you (as our loyal readers) know this year was quite not short […]
Greek Metal is always a little difficult to pinpoint. You have the pure Black Metal of RAVENCULT mixed with the ever-changing ROTTING CHRIST. But with AENAON, it’s sort of a head-scratcher. The third full-length "Hypnosophy" works its way through multiple paths which confuses the hell out of me which direction they may or may not be […]
Once upon a time… there were four young guys from Gothenburg. Their names were Sven, Petter, Leon and Patrik. Walking around aimlessly in the streets of their home town, they discussed on what do with their lives and how to find their place in history. Absorbed in their debate, the four friends did not recognize […]
BULLCREEK is a quite unknown band from Zeeuws-Vlaanderen in the Netherlands. Hopefully this will end in January 2017. Consisting of (ex -) members of Dutch bands like BURIAL, MORDANCY, MINDLINK and GOTMOOR, the involved guys are no newcomers at all and exactly know what they are doing. Freshly signed to growing label Raw Skull Recordz, […]
There are Death Metal bands that get it. There are bands that understand the genre and focus on capturing the spirit of that genre. Then there are others who feel the need to play around and veer off the path with samples, experiments and nonsense. Luckily, DEMORED stick with the former. Hailing from Braunschweig, Germany, […]
MORTEM released a new record. MORTEM do not need any introduction because MORTEM are evil, cryptic, deadly, demonic, satanic and bewitching. MORTEM are Death Metal. MORTEM rule! And so does "Deinós Nekrómantis". The fifth full-length release of these legends delivers from front to back as one already might have expected. Starting the record off with […]
By the time the Dutch Death Metal band ENTRAPMENT is releasing its third full-length album, The Crawling Chaos Records together with Godeater Records deliver this compilation of the less readily available material, some even previously unreleased, taken from demos, session recordings and split EPs (this is pretty much a re-release of the "Irreligeous Abominations – […]
After three years of silence Malmö’s mangling mass murder machine is finally back with a vengeance! Honestly spoken, I someday left their trace and somehow my interest in the band after their self-titled album around 2001. So, just a short period of 15 years later I am sitting in my room, listening to their already […]
VENUS TORMENT is an one man army hailing from Chile and after four years with three demo releases, Patricio Spalinger finally has put together his first full-length in form of “The Overdose Of Suffering” which gets released by the fine German label Iron Pegasus Records, that has a good taste in choosing some fine hand-picked […]
While the name has always been present in one way or another, this is my first sonic introduction to MACABRE OMEN from Greece to tell the truth. They were kinda busy in the mid 90s, at a time when their Hellenic companions such as ROTTING CHRIST, NECROMANTIA or VARATHRON already had 2 or 3 full-lengths […]
