The Greek veterans ROTTING FLESH (around for 24 years now) won’t make it easy for the listener on their third album “Infected Purity”. From the first moments after the “Lord Of The Rings” inspired intro, the three-piece from Thessaloniki confuses the mind. ROTTING FLESH jump from Death to Black Metal and back in the same […]
One of the longest lasting Metal bands in Germany for sure are RUNNING WILD! It’s 40 years now that Rock’n’Rolf Kasparek and his (always) changing allies started under the moniker GRANITE HEART, and the legendary first album “Gates To Purgatory” has already 32 years on its back. During their long career, they often received sneer […]
I have been following this great Swedish band for quite some time. Their debut album is still spinning around from time to time. They are a band that plays Death Metal in the D-Beat way, meaning we have a strong DISCHARGE and MASTER influence through their more old school sound in the early ENTOMBED and […]
One of the reasons why I wanted to do this review is because of the fact that the only album I heard (and enjoyed) by NETHERBIRD was their first album “The Ghost Collector”. That debut album from this Swedish melodic Black / Death band was a fine discovery back in 2008. I remember ordering a […]
Third full-length album for the side-project created by Rogga Johansson (PAGANIZER, RIBSPREADER, REVOLTING, PUTREVORE, MEGASCAVENGER, THE GROTESQUERY, DOWN AMONG THE DEAD MEN, etc.) and Paul Speckmann (MASTER, DEATH STRIKE, CADAVERIC POISON) in 2013. You might just be familiar with the previous two albums (or check the related reviews below), in this case I let you […]
Swedish band, formed back in 2010, presenting us their second album here, described mainly as a Death / Doom / Crust / Punk band. The vocals are punked Death Metal, and so is the music. It still sounds very heavy and although the Hardcore / Punk influences can be heard, the band has translated them […]
There might be quite a few people rolling their eyes while hearing the name Rogga Johansson. And some of you might say that this might happen for a good reason, since this Swedish gentleman is responsible for being the mastermind of countless bands, and even more guest spots / contributions on other releases as well. […]
The Dutch duo SWAMP CULT is something different, maybe something special. It’s not the fact that both members hide their real names behind an initial and cover themselves with mud, so to say corpsepaint in a different way. It’s the music that makes the difference. SWAMP CULT play a kind of basic Black Doom Metal […]
Despite ranking on second place when it comes to the most populous countries, Metal from India still is something exotic. GAIJIN are playing some sort of technical Death Metal, albums like "Symbolic" or "The Sound Of Perseverance" by DEATH obviously have served as inspiration for the trio. Of course GAIJIN did not reach the same […]
The is the debut recording from this Indian band. Usually when a band is playing Thrash nowadays I am cautious. I have never been a fan of happy fun Thrash, and to some that seems to be Thrash nowadays. But CARNAGE INC. is lucky for us, far away from that. First, they have a crunchy […]
