Ok, so this is my first review after a few months of absence (moving to a new home is always challenging), during this time I’ve been listening to lots of new and old stuff, but I was in need to listen to something unique and exciting (have to admit the teasers of new ALCEST and […]
FUNEBRIA is a Black / Death Metal band from Venezuela and the subtitle of this release expresses a kind of commemoration of ten years of activity (in which they released another album and a couple of minor editions). "Dekatherion: Ten Years Of Hate & Pride" shows us an ambitious band, playing fast, melodic Black / Death Metal, […]
I was worried that those old school Death Metal supergroups were no more happening, as the last 6 years were swamped with new bands formed by Death Metal “legends” and newcomers, mixing their skills and knowledge of the genre, trying to create something new (yet old). The constant re-issuing of out of print / hard […]
Mexico’s own CHAOSWOLF have returned with "Templo De Palabras Muertas", a follow-up to their 2013 debut "The Fall Of The Idols". The band plays raw Black Metal (think HORNA, old DARKTHRONE, BEHEXEN), the vocals sound similar to old BURZUM, and to date they have 3 demos, 3 splits, a compilation and 2 full-length albums released. […]
Sometimes really fine music hits you like a bolt from the black. In this case, I received an album called “Sacro-Kvltus Dementis” for a review. It appeared to be the first full-length recording of a Chilean band I never heard of before, named THE UNHUMAN THORN. Without doing any research on them, I wanted to […]
From the small isle of Öland in Sweden, Somath of ISGÄRDE decided in 2015 to spread the unholy word. As even in main capitals it can be difficult to find other musicians sharing the same vision, it must be even more difficult living on an isle, even though the internet makes it possible to run […]
The Metal scene in Argentina is pretty much overlooked for years now, even though there were a lot of bands from that country since the days Metal was born. Yet none of these bands really rose to world wide attention. And after listening to the recently re-released first album of EXTERMINIO, I am not sure […]
The three piece DALKHU from the Slovenian town of Slovenj Gradec is one of the veterans of the scene in their country. Yet, they are not a band of much releases. The album “Descend… Into Nothingness” is only their second album in more than a decade of existence. Until now, there was a demo and […]
The Costa Rican outfit COLEMESIS is around for respectable 25 years now. A quarter of a century, a very long time, indeed, and despite the fact that the band was on a seven year-hiatus, only three albums (one of these being a live album) and two EPs is not that much of a discography. Maybe […]
“Devilish Illusions” is MALAMORTE’s debut full-length album and was released back in late March of this year. The band was actually categorized as Black / Heavy Metal which therefore made me think of something similar to BEWITCHED but unfortunately this was not the case. MALAMORTE are what is to me a pure 2nd wave Black […]
