The second album by Norwegian based KVALVAAG, or to be precise the second official release. An album titled "Fomalhaut" was recorded, but is still waiting to be released. For what reason I do not know, as well as I still have not figured out whether this is a real band or a project of the […]
This is a band I have been fan of and following since their debut album. Yes, they are an old school Death Metal band from Sweden that is not denying their inheritance, but instead of following the ENTOMBED sound full-on, they go for a more morbid approach, to me sounding like CREMATORY with touches of […]
French Death / Thrash outfit CORROSIVE ELEMENTS, not to be confused with Greek Death / Thrash outfit of the same name, released their first full-length, "Toxic Waste Blues" recently a good seven years after their EP "Chaos Unleashed " from 2008. New vocalist Brice Moreau, guitarists Yves Pene and Tarik Usciati, bassist Lionel Gendre and […]
Chile is a land with a lot of Black Metal class. Think of FORCE OF DARKNESS, EJECUTOR, HADES ARCHER, PERVERSOR, COMMUNION or SLAUGHTBBATH. I’m not sure if CONCATENATUS can be added to this list. The band exists only for two years and has released a demo (”Meditation Through The Inner Vortex”) in 2015 and an […]
Coming out from nowhere it seems, this is the debut album form this Pagan / Black Metal band from the Czech Republic. The members have been actually active in another Black Metal, SEZARBIL, that was formed in 1997, and one member is also active in INFERNO, so newcomers they are not. The music found here […]
MONASTERIUM is a Polish band that plays an epic Doom Metal that I must say I find most reminiscent of CANDLEMASS; as soon as I started hearing the first track, ‘Christening In Blood’, albums like "Nightfall" or "Candlemass" naturally sprang to mind. That said, this self-titled debut endeavour is, objectively speaking, a definitely strong offering. […]
INFECTED VIRULENCE from Bavaria in Germany was another of the dozen talented hordes, that perished in the overkill of good Death Metal bands between 1992 and 1995, when Death Metal had its first peak and the very early protagonists of the scene already started to change their style or simply disbanded. Founded in 1991, the […]
Here we have the remastered reissue of the second album by the German Speed Metal band ANGEL DUST. If you’re familiar with the melodic Power Metal they played since the first post-reunion album, "Border Of Reality", you should have to know that they had a very different style during the 80s. In fact, "To Dust […]
Alert readers of these pages will already have read the name KILLBITE here before. Up to now, this fairly new band from Bremen has two demo recordings and a 10” EP out. But now it is due time for a first full-length album. This blast was baptised “Discrimi-Nation” and financed and released in best DIY […]
Sometimes you have strange deja-vus. In case of British one man project INCULCATOR, somehow the long forgotten Techno Thrash / Crossover band D.B.C. crossed my mind again after a lot of years. Anybody remembers these pretty unique, but somehow too strange and awkward Canadians? If so, you’re most likely to understand the first INCULCATOR album […]
