LUNG MOLDE is a new band from Portland, Oregon. The three band members are hiding behind cryptic names: MS, AD and JH, names that don’t really hint on relations to other bands. So it’s pretty hard to say anything about LUNG MOLDE, except that they’re a band with a mission. And their mission is to […]
Century Media once again takes us back to the good old 90s and make some treasures available again and grant attention to bands, which might be forgotten nowadays. Short-lived DARK MILLENNIUM is such a band, which definitely deserves some more attention even over 20 years after they have disbanded. As Century Media will re-release both […]
ANTROPOFAGO (Spanish for cannibal) is a Death Metal band from France, formed in 2007. Since this was my first listen to the band and their sophomore album "Æra Dementiæ", I went to their Bandcamp site to check their 2011 debut album "Beyond Phobia". Both of them released by French label Kaotoxin Records. Their style hasn’t […]
This is perdition… like falling into an endless chasm… suffocating from invisible hands that will grab your neck and will slowly start to use more strength until you are about to pass away…to then re-awake your miserable soul just to make you suffer more and more… that is what this epic debut release of this […]
Can anyone remember when it started? Can it be pinned down to a designated year, album or band? I am not quite sure, but at some moments it feels like there is a vast number of former Black Metal bands now playing Death Metal. OTARGOS from Greece are a typical representative for this sub-genre. Founded […]
GALLOWS BEYOND THE NIGHTSKY is a project of the ORDER TO RUIN members Denis and Mike, who shared some ideas, which did not fit into the concept of ORDER TO RUIN. The band calls their style Battle Metal so I was curious to hear, what exact direction they follow. Fundament of their sound in my […]
Yes! Finally and about damn time. I have been searching high and low to get a copy of this CD for the past 9 months. Hammer Of Hate Records folded with no luck in finding it for under $50 bucks on ebay. The band told me they didn’t have any copies and didn’t know if […]
Take your guitar and tune it low, no lower, add some distortion, no I said add some distortion, make it noisy, make sound raw, make so low and distorted that the walls will rumble. Find your bass, same procedure thank you. Track down your drummer, slap him a bit around, turn him upside down, headphones […]
The dawn of the new wave of occult Death Metal is far from its end. While Canada, Germany, US, Australia and even Greece have the most iconic (current) wavers of this "dark" Death Metal influenced by early INCANTATION and IMMOLATION, the UK is probably the country that has the most twisted and obscure bands of the […]
Studio album number eleven by Swedish GRAVE. With a history going back to 1988 or even earlier (the direct predecessor CORPSE was founded 1986) maybe not that huge amount. But honestly, I am glad the guys keep on releasing fabulous Death Metal instead of doing something else. The album "Hating Life" (1996) was some kind […]
