"Amissum", as now released by Hellthrasher Productions, is the extended version of an EP digitally released last year (now with two bonus tracks). And CHAOS MOON is a kind of one-man band, Alex Poole of KRIEG, with Erik Baker handling the vocals. This is largely slow to mid-paced Black Metal that strives above all to […]
I’m pretty sure, most of you peeps out there share the same feelings on situations like these; you get to know about a new release of a band you really enjoyed and listened to back in the days, but to some undisclosed reasons completely lost their trail over the years and think by yourself: "Damn, […]
MOSS UPON THE SKULL is a five-piece that dwells within a dark and misty Death Metal swamp with hints of psychedelia here and there. Hailing from Brussels, the band recently released their EP “The Scourge Of Ages” consisting of 4 tracks of rather unorthodox Death Metal. The first track ‘Key To The Dragonpaths’ starts off […]
The Swedish MONSTRAAT started off like a lot of other Black Metal acts – as a one man project. For eleven years, singer J.L. was the only member of the band and managed to release a demo tape. But it wasn’t until 2011 that the band was completed with M.N. on bass and J.M. on […]
One of my all time favorite debut releases is without a doubt “The Upcoming Terror” by these German Thrashers ASSASSIN. For me it has qualities comparable to what KREATOR, SODOM and DESTRUCTION did. Very well played, fast Speed / Thrash Metal with raw deathly vocals. And one fantastic cover art. So, when their second album […]
The Polish band POISONED already exists 7 years (if my info is correct) since ”Beyond The Gates Of Fire”. Prior to this, the band recorded a demo ("Rising From Darkness”, 2011) and a split with PERSECUTOR (”Raw Torments Of War” in 2014). Their style is old school Death / Thrash. Everything smells pleasantly of worship […]
The four-piece Thrashers REACTORY come back with the successor of "High Radiation", the debut full-length released by Iron Shield Records just two years ago. In that time, this band from Berlin has exhibited their incorruptible attitude with the furious Thrash attack, supported for the first time on drums by the ex – SOCIAL CHAOS Cauê […]
I wanted to check out KORGONTHURUS for the longest time now. After all, they were that band with that absolutely unreadable and borderline parody logo… fortunately, they went for a more readable and serious approach now, so I could go into the whole thing unbiased and impartial. For the uninitiated (like myself), KORGONTHURUS are ex […]
PAROXSIHZEM is a filthy Black / Death Metal band from Toronto, Canada, active since 2007. After the release of two demos, 2012 saw the release of their self-titled debut and four years later, the EP that the band has set as a bridge for their second full-length. “Abyss Of Excruciating Vexes” is a collection of […]
Well, a name like MINDWARS offers a very promising cross-reference. Wasn’t there a fantastic album, the second to be precise, by the Speed / Thrash Metal gods HOLY TERROR that wears this name? A further look at the line-up of that comparatively new band we are talking about now reveals that this hint isn’t not […]
