In the last months, it appeared to me that there are a lot of new or a little more established bands that are broadening the boundaries of Black Metal, leading the whole genre into new dimensions. Bands like MGŁA, DELUGE, NOTORIUS, VERHEERER or PARAMNESIA released very strong albums, thus re-opening the Black Metal genre for […]
Talk about a blast from the past. I haven’t kept up with BRUTALITY much since their "When The Sky Turns Black" album that came out back in 1994 (I checked out only a couple of songs from their "In Mourning" album). Well it has been 3 – 4 years since they released any new material, […]
New York City based SAVAGE THRUST just released one album, namely "Eat ‘Em Raw" back in 1990. Since no label was willing to take care of the band’s work (two demos and one single at that time) the guys decided to publish the album on their own and ended up selling 5.000 cassettes of "Eat […]
PROTECTOR from Germany never became as famous as their country mates KREATOR, SODOM or DESTRUCTION. At least not outside Germany. Maybe the band was just a little bit too late, when they released their first demo tape "Protector Of Death" in 1986 the other mentioned bands already put out full-lengths. But musically PROTECTOR were in […]
Last year, ABYSSUS from Greece released a very fine first full-length album. “Into The Abyss” nodded to the old school of Florida Death Metal with a mighty OBITUARY bias and sounded very fine. That album showed them old geezers where the rubber meets the road, or better how old fashioned Death Metal should sound. But […]
Grinding Punk noise form this unholy band. It seems some members are from Australia while others come from Sweden. Well, no matter where they come from, they do some sort of noisy Grind metallic thing, that recalls bands like early NAPALM DEATH and DISCHARGE to name a few. 5 songs of intense warfare, with a […]
A Pulverised Records press release states that TEMISTO arose from the ashes of a band called CHAPEL consisting of two unknown (probably quite young) Stockholmaniacs simply called Leo and Sebastian sharing all kinds of bass, guitar, drum and vocal duties. After entering some studio to record not a demo nor an EP or MLP but […]
I always liked PURGATORY, which is by the way one of the oldest still active German Death Metal hordes. They always stood true to their roots and never bowed to any trend or Death Metal hipster fashions. This unholy force from the eastern part of Germany never released anything weak. So I was really looking […]
This album was ranked high on this site’s poll of 2015, so it definitely deserves a mention on these pages. Actually this record came out of nowhere since the band has been named once or twice in a review but no album in their discography was subject of study despite their formation goes back into […]
Just the name of the band and the name of the album, will surely give you a hint. This band from the Netherlands, that always use a parody of other Metal albums ("Clit ‘Em all", "Scream Bloody Clit" so that you have an idea) plays a quite entertaining form of brutal Death / Grind filled […]
