Here we have another album from High Roller Records that honours the old Metal Punk legend WARFARE and makes their demo recordings available to the public. If you’re a little familiar with the band, you’ll easily find out that “Pure Filth: From The Vaults Of Rabid Metal” refers to the first WARFARE album “Pure Filth”, […]
Back in the glory days of the NWOBHM, the Metal scene was loosely connected to the Punk scene in the UK. Thus people like Algy Ward of TANK fame or a certain Paul Evans played in Punk bands before they started something in the Metal scene. That certain Paul Evans, far better known under his […]
PRIMIGENIUM from Madrid was one of the first Black Metal bands to come from Spain as I learned now. They have released their first demo back in 1994 and after this another three full-length albums. They now contribute their track ‘Gregarious’ to this split EP as a taster for their upcoming EP. Their style is […]
For those of you who don’t know INSANITY (shame on you), they are a pioneering Death / Thrash outfit from San Francisco, California. Starting back in 1985 and after a bunch of demos and rehearsals that built a cult following at the time, their debut album was released in 1994 by M.B.R. Records. Sadly, a […]
UK’s WARFARE started out in the early 80s with a classic three piece line-up, consisting of drummer / vocalist Evo (a former member of ANGELIC UPSTARTS and MAJOR ACCIDENT), guitarist Gunner and bassist Falken. Musically the band combined the best of early VENOM with some TANK and MOTÖRHEAD elements and spiced it all with a […]
IMHOTEP is not only one of the longest running zines hailing from Norway, it has always been a good address for high quality reading in general already. But with this 11th issue editor Roy once more surprises with a totally unique idea of zine making. Instead of filling the pages with a bunch of band […]
High Roller recently put out some yet unreleased (not that big of a fan of the band to be 100% sure) WARFARE material including lost demos as well as some pre-production recordings of “Pure Filth” as well as “Metal Anarchy”. As you might already have noticed this review deals with the release that features the […]
The end of the year draws near and the second full-length by NOCTERNITY from Greece is, besides the countless VARDAN outputs, one of the hottest candidates for "most boring / uninspired Black Metal album of the year". Creating music is a little bit more than just the ability to play instruments and making the whole […]
This re-release makes sense for all worshipers of LUNAR AURORA who are missing the fifth full-length by the Bavarian horde in their collection. Or if you just got the CD without the four songs which were only published on the double LP back in 2001. Just in case you are not familiar with one of […]
Raging orthodox Black Metal. Tremolo riffing, galloping drums, mid paced sections and chanting screams. Spanish three piece BALMOG released “Necroangels’ Revelations” originally 2009 as a split tape with ABORIORTH. Now it’s been re-issued by BlackSeed Productions on CD. No doubt, BALMOG are doing a lot of things right and entertaining. They have a goal and […]
