Right at the moment when you think nothing (talking in terms of music) can surprise you anymore, a release like this appears. CD format, limited to 500 copies, about ten minutes playing time for each band. Nothing new so far, but now please fasten your seat belts! ALNAMROOD are hailing from Saudi Arabia and are […]
Do you miss the original rebellious spirit of Metal in general and extreme Metal in particular? Than this one is for you! In an absolute Muslim regime, led by a fanatically religious authority, it is forbidden and thus really dangerous only to play Western music. Black Metal is more or less life-endangering. Despite that, there […]
Ever since Death Metal (and I mean real Death Metal) grew popular again, we’ve witnessed many good compilations of demo tracks by such bands as CREMATORY, GOD MACABRE, and other cult acts from around the globe. Necroharmonic supplies the United States with most of these compilations. Although there are other labels who do this, such […]
To have a copy of MORBID SAINT’s legendary debut album "Spectrum Of Death" was a status symbol, for quite a long period. It either meant that you are devoted fan, who purchased it back when it was released, or a teenager who spent all the dough he had received from his parents on is birthday. […]
INTERMENT’s second record “Scent Of The Buried” is probably the best and most honest “worship” of pure HM-2 Death Metal you can find out there at the moment. First of all the band itself only consists of people knowing what they are doing and second they teamed up with producer legend Tomas Skogsberg at his […]
Thank you very much, Dunkelheit Produktionen, for having re-issued this great album! There are few bands in this genre that I enjoy, but the criminally underrated BLOOD is one of them, and this album is quite an underrated gem. Expect 20 songs (around 1:40 – 2 minutes long each) that offer a multitude of fast […]
BURTUL is a horde hailing from St. Petersburg in Russia that is active since 2010. Already in 2014 they released this debut release called "Bottom Astral" via Satanath Records. Their style is brutal US-styled Death Metal. The band’s influences are obviousy bands like CANNIBAL CORPSE or SUFFOCATION so the direction should be clear. The typical […]
Since SINOATH is one of my fave Italian bands ever, I am going to start this review urging you to listen to any of their material. Specially the "Still In The Grey Dying" 1993 demo / EP, which is also one of my fave demo / EPs ever recorded. And then you can come back […]
EVERTO SIGNUM from Portugal are active since 2010 and after a full-length, released in strictly limited cassette format, the band releases their new EP called "Synergy" via Satanath Records, who are known for well-chosen Black Metal releases. The instrumental intro ‘Cold Inception’ takes up the listener with careful keyboards and carefully used guitars and sountrack-esque […]
Little is known about TOTENWELT other than they’re from Sweden and have a cassette release of two Black Metal tracks. There’s not even a listing on Metal Archives that I could find. Judging a band off of only two songs isn’t a fair thing to do. However, as I am dedicated to review "Tot", I […]
