6 tracks with a total running time clocking in at nearly 61 minutes? Guess, this won’t be a Power Violence album, huh?! And when some sort of Gregorian choir starts, soon to be torn apart by the first crushing tones, it’s plain simple that these young act from the Netherlands performs everything but fast music. […]
CALAMITY is a four-piece Thrash Metal band from Puerto Rico with two releases under their belts, both self-financed. Along with the "Let ‘Em Burn" EP, they recently released their debut album "Imminent Disaster". As soon as I heard the first few chords, I immediately assumed the guys were not big fans of the "And Justice […]

One of the aspects that I like the most is that, no matter the genre of music, the quality is great; always. And HATE BEYOND falls into that category. This amazing Death / Thrash band from Osaka was formed […]
A journey back in time… I was a 15-year-old kid, a little rebellious and always willing to find new Metal bands. Time was spent listening to any heavy band I could get hold of, be it the classic big names like IRON MAIDEN or JUDAS PRIEST, be it new acts like METALLICA or SLAYER. Two […]
DETERIOROT, hailing from New Jersey, was one of the hopeful Death Metal bands in the early breed of the American northern scene. They started out as MORTUARY, released two demos and got signed to Thrash Records, which should release their first full-length, though something didn’t go right, as it never happened, and next thing, the […]
In the year 2015 Belgian most famous band AGATHOCLES released 27 pieces of music. Four compilations of old material, but mostly vinyl split 7"es. If you do not know the band, this may sound pretty strange, but for AGATHOCLES it is just the typical output for one year. During the the mid-nineties I have been […]
