I don’t know many bands from Serbia, I actually know only ‘The Other Side Of Reality’ by SCAFFOLD, one of the few significant albums coming from ex Yugoslavia. So I was very curious to discover these guys, also from Belgrade. THE HELL formed in 2013, this is their first release ever, so they preferred to […]
"Ragnaroll" is this Russian band’s first full-length release, after an EP and a digital single release. The title does also cover their musical style I guess, a new niche for me, neo thrashy Rock’n’Roll mixed up with Folk Music and grunted semi thrashy vocals. I don’t think I ever have heard anything like this. The […]
You can usually count on Spain to produce some epic Metal. And MISTWEAVER’s "Nocturnal Bloodshed" fits right in. A far cry from vocalist / guitarist Raul Weaver’s pure Death Metal band MASS BURIAL, MISTWEAVER create a more melodic style, with a few keyboards thrown in for good measure. There are even a small amount of […]
Well, since I don’t really know what to think of the latest release, Finnish cult act CONVULSE finally unleashed upon mankind, I have a feeling this is gonna become the shortest and most boring review I’ve done so far. Despite the opinion of many lunatics out there, considering "Resuscitation Of Evilness" and "World Without God" […]
OVERUNIT MACHINE is an Italian band that defines themselves as "experimental Metal"… why Frank, why? (guilty of not having listened to it before I passed it on – Frank) Well, the cover looks interesting, so maybe there is a chance. Press play… my… Ok, this is actually a music style I will never ever buy, […]
OPUS INFERII is a Brazilian band formed back in 2003, and this is their debut album originally released back in 2012. What we have here is fast, melodic Black Netal which is quite similar in style to early DARK FUNERAL. There are also touches of Black Metal from early DARKTHRONE and more than once some […]
This is the debut album form this Russian band that mixes melodic Death Metal and industrial music. And it is as it says here. Sounds like early FEAR FACTORY with some early IN FLAMES and movie music. And I am sure there’s quite some other bands doing a similar thing, but for me this is […]
2 songs, originally recorded way back in 1991 for an EP that was doomed to be in the twilight zone until this day. DETERIOROT was formed in the USA in 1990 in the area of North Carolina, and are related to bands playing brutal evil and morbid Death Metal like early INCANTATION, CANNIBAL CORPSE, GRAVE […]
Wow, this is already the fifth album from this Death Metal band from Switzerland, formed way back in 1996. As soon as the music started I can listen to a very present bass guitar. And the music turns out to be quite technical, reminding me of NECROPHAGIST or maybe some later DEATH, although it has […]
Another debut album now from Croatia. They say they play symphonic Power / Thrash. 5 clean looking guys that are fronted by a beautiful lady. Most of the time I would not touch this and look for more dirty looking members… but then again I remember the time I was almost passing on WHITE SKULL […]
