Perseverance and dedication are very important values in every kind of noncommercial music, supporting the efforts of musicians with strong attitude who just desire to be creative without compromises. Those values are strong in SACRAMENTAL BLOOD, an expert trio from the Capital of Serbia, Belgrad. Since 2002 they proudly keep the flag of the traditional […]
I felt, Berlin was kind of off the radar for quite a while when it came to a nice Metal scene. Apart from grey zone and commerce. Gladly there where a few changes in the Metal scene itself as well as in the scenes surrounding the dusty traditional Metal gangs. You don’t need to be […]
Readers of our zine are surely familiar with KRABATHOR in any way, even though these Czech warriors have not been featured that much on our site. Active as KRABATHOR since 1987, the band is one of the longest running bands in our scene and even this fact deserves a lot of respect. Having released six […]
British Black Metal is a bit like British cuisine: you don’t hear anyone raving about it. Ever. With the exception of VENOM, the UK is dead territory to me when it comes to Black Metal. I know some ANAAL NATHRAKH, I guess I pretended once that I like CRADLE OF FILTH to impress some chubby […]
Britanny, France… I think I love you. Thank you for giving birth to the vile, dirty, rotten sound of GOATSLAVE. This band came out of nowhere with their first album "Procession Of Doom". After the intro, ‘Salvation Of Desolation’ kicks you in the teeth with a full-on blast of blackened Metal just the way I […]
I think most of you know by now that the Chilean Metal scene is not only one of the most flourishing ones in the past years, but also one of the most interesting. With “Dispersae Et Tormentvm”, their first full album after two EPs, EXANIMATVM now put their name on the map. A name that’s […]
I have been following DEFUNTOS since their “Um Sofrimento Distante” (Portuguese to ‘A Distant Suffering’) EP and this Lusitanian band has always drawn my attention for their funeral music and their intriguing artworks, always depicting the most grieving moments through photographs. At first, their new album “A Eterna Dança da Morte” (Death’s Eternal Dance) is […]
2016 marks a decade of existence of extreme Metal label F.D.A. Records from Germany. To celebrate the fact and to thank everyone for their support, the label has released a convenient package featuring a 10-year anniversary t-shirt (designed by Marc Niederhagemann of Art Wars Mediadesign – also the frontman of the Death Metal band LIFELESS) […]
TRIOXIN comes from Norway and they don’t play Black Metal, which is the style generally associated with that specific country. Also, this demo tape was originally released in 2004. After the band split up, members went onto bands such as SPAWN OF POSSESSION, BLOOD RED THRONE and DEEDS OF FLESH, to name a few. Also, […]
Sometimes I’m not sure what I’m listening to. The music doesn’t always fit comfortably in a particular genre, which is normally fine and a breath of fresh air. But in the case of PATH 11, I felt myself confused and weary. Seventy two minutes of confusion isn’t a good thing either. From the album opener […]
