Ahhh…Death’n’Roll from Germany. The genre’s hit and miss on a regular basis. It’s also a genre that has difficulty gaining momentum in the Metal field. Of course, you have ENTOMBED. But not every band’s of ENTOMBED caliber. Not many are, actually. So I was curious to see how SETHNEFER’s new album holds up. Only three […]
Three years after the self-titled debut ISLAY from Emsland, Lower Saxony, Germany are back. Three-quarters of an hour wild, aggressive melodic Death Metal, executed with superb skills. The five guys are playing so tight and are putting things straight to the point, it is really awesome and the ten songs are pure enjoyment. Seems like […]
This is the debut EP of this very young band from Heist-op-den-Berg, province of Antwerp. CARNATION are in fact one the most promising acts from Belgium that are promoting their first release in the best way they can, also with a lot of live experiences. Their sound is rooted in old school Death Metal, strongly […]
ZOMBIESLUT is a German band and this is their second album. They play a very old school Death Metal that much reminds me of IMPETIGO. Low-tuned, brutal, now fast and grinding like a circular saw but then, and more often, slow like a limp undertaker coming to collect your putrid bones. Nothing really new, but […]
The revived Swedish Death Metal troops of WOMBBATH seem to become experts for split releases. “Embracing The Cold…” is the third release of that kind after their return in 2014 following their 7”es with WARHOUND and REVEL IN FLESH. This time, they teamed up with Dutch DEPARTED SOULS for a CD-EP. And again they saved […]
I remember stumbling across ABSCESSION quite a while ago. In one of these nights rummaging through different blogs and magazines on the internet, while listening to Swedish music. Wisely chosen by the great unknown DJ, “Youtube”. I also remember they didn’t really caught me back then. Not because it was excessively bad or anything. It […]
Dakhma, the tower of silence – an ancient Zoroastian building, to prevent the bodies of the dead (which would be infested with the corpse-demon the daeva Nasu, also known as Nas or Nasa), to pollute earth or fire, as those are sacred. Instead the bodies of the deceased were put on top of the tower […]
A band formed by members of ALCHEMYST, ANAEL and HELLISH CROSSFIRE, bands that I really like, is something surely to take notice. But do not expect anything similar to those bands. ORAE plays a form of psychedelic blackened and deathly Metal that sounds like a clash between early VOIVOD, MAYHEM and AUTOPSY with a great […]
A one man band formed back in 2013 with already 10, yes 10 full-length albums! But of those albums, and some other EPs and demos, only few have been released in a physical format. Most of the others are available as digital only on their bandcamp site. This is at least getting a physical CD […]
The bandname translated into English means red kite (scientific name: Milvus milvus), a medium sized bird of prey. In my ears it sounds pretty fitting for a Black Metal band. Although the band was formed last year the five members managed to record a decent and respectable piece of music. Two decades ago bands had […]
