What happens when two of the busiest people of the whole Death Metal scene team up for a common project? Well, PUTREVORE happens. Looking at the two people who are PUTREVORE, there are just three possible reactions. You might either say: “Oh no! It’s Rogga again!” Mistake! Or maybe you think: “Damn, the next band […]
KOSMOKRATOR is another hopeful from our neighbor Belgium and active since 2013. Their sold-out cassette demo “To The Svmmit” from 2014 now gets a proper re-release on CD in digipak format and on 12” vinyl via the fine German label Ván Records in early 2016. The opening track ‘Ad Alta, Ad Astra’ starts with choral […]
RAVENS CREED is a band I bow down to. Main reason is of cause their poetic lyrical art work. Which is basically unrivalled in its class. How could I ever ignore such highly philosophic effusions as ‘Stand Up And Be Cunted’, ‘Peace Through Superior Firepower’ or ‘Panzer Maniac’. Songs which exist to literally move things. […]
German horde HORNS OF DOMINATION appear on the surface of the underground at the end of the year with two songs cast onto a demo tape simply entitled "Demo 2015". Since some band members are already well-known in the German scene the band’s debut release is a pretty hot item presently. The band starts the […]
Solo projects are usually not a thing to get me excited. I know this sounds narrowminded, but all too often I’m having trouble to get into the personal and abstract world with many weird emotional breaks and jumps. BATHORY is one of very, very few exceptions that nailed it. I’m not too sure if ASHEN […]
New deal, new album, the same dose of madness. KÖRGULL THE EXTERMINATOR again managed to record an album which sounds like a bunch of good friends hanging together, liking the same kinds of Metal and finally gather to let others participate. And they really want you to perceive their point of view because nine releases […]
Besides the (meanwhile) quite well known German HARM, there’s also a Norwegian Thrash Metal band of that name. Started in 1997, it took this band nine years and two official demos to release their first album “Devil” in 2006. Since then, they changed their label from Sublife (the label of Tchort) to Battlegod in Australia […]
It seems like the curse of Repulse has been hanging over me – almost 20 years ago when I was doing my own zine Wounded I had the unpleasure to review the REINCARNATION mini CD "Seed Of Hate" which I described as "the worst garbage I heard in my life". Fast forward 20 years – […]
The Texan four piece power unit EXPANDER is pretty new on the scene. Formed in 2014, the band already released their first demo recordings this year. “Laws Of Power” was available in a limited edition of 25 tape copies and in an unlimited digital version until Caligari Records saw a certain necessity to re-release the […]
Seriously it’s hard for me to listen to this record and not getting totally aggressive about the people which tell bands to produce and mix their sound like they did here on “Purified Through Devastation”. I am totally not made for that clean and pimped nothingness. For me this is always a decision against the […]
