Another disturbing sign of pure Black Metal madness from that arcane Helvetic Underground Committee. While celebrating their misanthropic incantations in Zürich (Switzerland), this pack constantly releases one amazing record after another. It’s frighting with which implicitness they ignite their mephitic torches, blaze their trail towards your stereo system, leave their symbols and burn it down. […]
Any Lord Of The Rings fans out there? Every time I listened to the debut by LIK from Sweden I felt like Theoden, King of Rohan, when the elves arrived at Helm’s Deep. How is this possible? But in my case no anemic elve brigade caused my amazement. Out of nowhere LIK have taken up […]
HAIDUK is a solo project by Luka Milojica. He hails from Canada and under the moniker HAIDUK he released one demo tape in 2010, the debut "Spellbook" was spawned 2012 and now it is time for "Demonicon". What strikes first is the almost complete lack of vocals. There are deep grunts, but very sparsely delivered. […]
After having a brisk and live-affirming breakfast to which “Interdimensional Extinction” was my background melody, I can’t say more besides this is a descent Death Metal record. It contains a pool of nice ideas. But it doesn’t go anywhere into unexplored waters. You pretty much get what you expect. Deep atmosphere, dissonant melodies, a rolling […]
Alright, before I talk about this album, I have to clear something up. I am not a paid agent of Dark Descent Records. They don’t compensate Dick Osmond for unanimously positive reviews! Even though I do rave about many titles in their catalog, I assure you my praise is genuine. Anyway, what a goddamn sick […]
In 2012 two thirds of NIRVANA 2002 started plunging into Death Metal again with a new band called UNDER THE CHURCH. One demo and an EP later the band is now ready for its first rabid, oozing and putrid full-length debut “Rabid Armageddon” which is a continuation of what happened on “Demo 2013” and “Under […]
Finland is surely ripe with Death Metal, no doubt about it, and the new bands just keep popping up all the time. MÖRBID VOMIT released their first demo in 2012 and their course hasn’t changed ever since. In fact, I get a sense of déja vu here. A few weeks ago I’ve reviewed ENDSEEKER’s EP […]
I don’t think EURYNOMOS need a big introduction. Every one who was attentively following the path of dark Metal over the last year must have noticed EURYNOMOS. Their first EP “Unchained From The Crypt” was a raving success. And I maintain I am not the only one thinking that way. In short, guitarist Aethon waited […]
There are a few bands that carry this moniker or a variation of it and in most cases they play Black Metal. This delegation from the States is no exception. What distinguishes them from the rest is their young excistence which, if my info is correct, dates from the year 2015. Both members R (all […]
After 3 demos the German Black Metal band FROSTLAND has now released a digital single, a type of release I don’t think I ever will get used to, though a great way for an unknown or unsigned band to get some attention, and in that instance I can accept it, if the music of course […]
