Really a band named HAIR BALLS? I mean, ugh… oh, well. This seems to be a re-release of this rather obscure Russian Thrash Metal band. I must say that the production is VERY heavy and well done, it could easily pass as a Bay Area Thrash band. The influences range from early METALLICA, HEATHEN, VIO-LENCE, […]
This Russian band was formed in 2015 and this is their debut EP. Their style is Black Metal that takes bits form many Black Metal styles. At times it sounds like those orthodox Black Metal bands like DEATHSPELL OMEGA or GLORIOR BELLI, then sometimes it has tiny bits of Black / Thrash in the SABBAT […]
Erun-Dagoth (aka Javier Sixto) is the man behind DEPRIVE, a Spanish one man Death Metal band with two demo tapes and two albums, with "Temple Of The Lost Wisdom" being the sophomore effort so far. And behind this release is the also Spanish label Memento Mori, which has been putting out great releases one after […]
EVIL REBORN is a band from Venezuela that was formed in 2012 and only released an EP called ”Bendita Malevolencia” three years ago, prior to this. It featured three tracks ’Bendita Malevolencia’, ’Adicción Visceral’ (which are also featured on this album) and the HYPOCRISY cover ’Pleasure Of Molestation’. Compared to this EP, on ”Throne Of […]
SCOLOPENDRA CINGULATA is the name of the mediterranean banded centipede. I often have work out in the countryside and it’s actually one of the few little critters I have to watch out for around here, as it fucking stings. It’s also, as you can see, the name of one of the few Metal bands coming […]
Sometimes you can tell a one-man Black Metal band easier than others. And this is one of them. It’s something about the instruments feel separated from each other to where it doesn’t feel like a band. However, Heolstor doesn’t do a bad job overall. Hailing from Madrid, Spain, CHAINS OV BELETH provide a mid-tempo delivery […]
Mexico breeds filthy, putrid Black Metal that gets caught between your teeth and worms its way down your throat eventually. You can always expect a madness, an atmosphere, and a love for Metal. BLACK LORD starts off with a bang after the Intro with ‘Spiritual War’, setting the tempo for the rest of the album. […]
The first I’ve ever heard of this fine band, and the best way I can think of to introduce yourself to them, this EP stands among the surprisingly many outstanding releases this year. The soil in Hell is fertile indeed. VOIDS OF VOMIT come from Italy, a country whose long repute no one needs reminding […]
It seems that we are in the midst of a revival of brutal and dark Death Metal. For a moment it seemed that the strongest of the new breed of Death Metal acts were those playing the classic Swedish style. However, as of late much of the most promising Death Metal has been of a […]
WHIPSTRIKER is a four piece active since 2008 already and hailing from Rio de Janeiro. After dozens of split releases and two full-length albums, they finally present their third opus called “Only Filth Will Prevail” with eight own tracks and a nice WARFARE cover. The band plays a dark and obscure mix of classic Heavy […]
