This re-release is what I would call value for money, a double CD, more than two hours of Death Metal, two old Scandinavian bands, two albums and five demos as bonus. Well done Xtreem! I’m totally happy that so many labels are digging old and forgotten jewels and bring them back to attention. But unfortunately […]
At first I was a bit in doubt due to the name of the band. Sounds more like a Pagan Metal band. Oh, well. Yet, the album title is in the domains I am used to. ASHCOULD is a band or maybe a project from a couple of guys from Sweden and England doing what […]
Another band that is probably easy to relate by just looking at the cover art, band name and lyrics. Yeah, gore! And add to that a very heavy and brutal Death Metal machine. Actually this is a lot better than I expected as I was expecting it to be more in the American brutal Death […]
F.D.A. Records took almost my entire salary during 2011, putting out some killer releases that helped the label to become a bigger and well established underground company. Since then I’ve kept my eyes (and ears) open to whatever F.D.A. is putting out month after month, year after year. While the label has been tagged as […]
Here we have another release by Spanish Xtreem Music featuring… surprise, surprise… Finnish Death Metal! Label boss Dave Rotten has had a soft spot for Suomi bands since back in the days when he started with Drowned Productions. Bands like CARTILAGE, ADRAMELECH, DEMILICH and even PURTENACE had been on their roster from the early to […]
My dear MASTER… always kept itself loyal to its roots, to whatever feels is right to continue the path traced for over 2 decades. There are times and waves moving people and bands to new horizons, making them to take risks and add new ingredients to their recipe. MASTER is one of those bands that […]
It took a few minutes until clarity prevailed. So many bands using the same name. Of course the label Xtreem Music should have given me a hint, but I did not recognize the label at first sight. HUMAN WASTE are from Spain and the album "Brothel Of Souls" was the only full-length the band ever […]
I have a blurry remembrance from my time in high school, when we got taught ’bout Darwin’s theory of evolution. Well, I don’t wanna bother anyone of you with boring anecdotes from my biology class, but if we take a longer and in-depth look at a band like DESECRESY, we could consider their musical development […]
Everything is done just right on CORROSIVE CARCASS “Forsaken Lands”. Traditional Swedish Death Metal, nothing else. They are not busy with different genre experiments or any awkward copying pandemonium. As well as typical Doom parts you’ll be pleased with D-Beats, blasts, disharmonious riffing and different varieties of growling. In substance everything which is needed to […]
The reason why I never became a follower of AVULSED from Spain was simply the money. At the time the band started their career and I began listening to Death Metal, the early 1990s, I was still going to school and simply did not have enough money to buy all the stuff I want to. […]
