The second demo from Brazilian ANTIRELIGION has now emerged. An intro and four new tracks thrown our way. If you just have read my review of the first demo from this one man Black Metal band, you read my agony over no original material, that has now emerged on this demo. Though first we start […]
I have always been a fan of demos, ever since I bought my first demo many many ages ago (I must be getting old, damn). I have always liked to follow a band from the beginning to a defined sound, and often finding the demos the most interesting parts of a band’s history, as that […]
"Now, I become Death, the destroyer of worlds." With this quotation by Robert Oppenheimer, the "father of the atomic bomb", the album kicks off. Oppenheimer referred to the first man-made nuclear explosion in 1945 and the citation originated from the Bhagavad Gita, a 700-verse Hindu scripture in Sanskrit which came into existence in the third […]
Australian warriors LUSTRATION are active in the underground since 2008 and return now with their second full-length “Jesus Bethlemitus Maledictus” and a renewed line-up. The presented seven tracks show the band in a really good and creative shape. Their style is a mixture of old school Death / Black Metal in the vein of POSSESSED, […]
BOMBS OF HADES are a Swedish old school Death Metal band but they do things with a Crust / Punk attitude. The sound is pretty much an extension of the Crust leanings, but over here they’re superbly integrated with Death Metal, which simply put, livens up the proceedings. The energy is noticeably intensified and the […]
Introducing OVERDOZE: “In summer 2009 Valtteri and Markus decided to drag their instruments and recording gear to Valtteri’s summer cottage. They spent the midsummer holidays playing together in a barn but couldn’t get anything on tape due to the fact that they were too wasted all the time.“ They were too wasted! Who would have […]
This EP in CD format is limited to 500 copies and I think they will be sold out in the near future. After a short instrumental intro the band celebrates five tracks of brutal Death Metal at its finest. Especially the early albums of CANNIBAL CORPSE or SUFFOCATION have served as blueprint for "Defiling Verses". […]
The five degrees of insanity are called ‘Alcoholic’, ‘Nihilistic’, ‘Misanthropic’, ‘Psychotic’ and ‘Satanic’. Sounds like some kind of poem. CULT OF OCCULT are hailing from France and during their five years of existence they already released three singles and two albums. "Five Degrees Of Insanity" is full-length number three and it is really a full-length. […]
The French three piece VORTEX OF END isn’t willing to make things easy for the listener. Their second album “Fvlgvr Lvx Terror” is a bastard of Black and Death Metal that is hard to digest. That would not be any problem if the nine songs (including one instrumental overture) were gripping enough to catch some […]
After a single called "Violent Aggressor" in 2012 and the album "Classic Death" in the same year, these lads from Chile released this EP in 2014. All these releases were done in own management and the result is pretty remarkable. That they still haven’t been signed is beyond my comprehension, since "Classic Death" was a […]
