The Punk Rock Metal infused powerhouse BRODY’S MILITIA out of Kentucky, now residing in Ohio, has always been quite active and has during the years unleashed a ton of releases, a lot of them containing a covertune or two. Paying homage to the inspirations for the band and their music, has always been an important […]
Originally released way back in 1995 by Brainticket Records, owned by one of the SOLITUDE AETERNUS guys, this obscure gem of Doom Metal resurrects again for those who missed it the first time. Lucky me I still have that CD (for some strange reason though the RAINBOW cover ‘Stargazer’ isn’t included on this re-release, but […]
I’ve heard many shitty demos and albums in my time, but this one is the worst of them all. It sounds as if recorded on Walkman with one of those PC mikes they sell for 2 dollars. Or maybe even without any mikes. It’s a waste of energy and time even to write about it. […]
Sometimes things are better left untouched. Sometimes. When a band decides to have another chance at their early material, in the way of having a good mastering or mixing slightly again (rather than doing full re-recordings which most of the time turn out to be a big pile of crap) things can turn out to […]
The Netherlands aren’t known for a major deliverance of Black Metal bands. Apart from the more known bands like CARACH ANGREN, SLECHTVALK and of course HERETIC and BESTIAL SUMMONING, we got lesser known ones like SAMMATH, KJELD and NOORDELINGEN. And let these three be responsibe for KÆCK. I’m not sure if this is a real […]
Another really nice surprise for me is the first album of underground hopefuls INVOKATION from south-western Germany. The material for “Ascending From Aeons Passed” was already recorded in late 2013 but due to problems with their now defunct former label, the album finally will be released via CCP Records from Austria in Autumn 2015. Formed […]
With NECROFAGOS from Cali in Colombia, we dive deep into the underground. This four-piece is around since 2008 in a constant line-up and did a few recordings yet. These are released on two split 7”es, a demo and this live album, available on tape only. Since we’re digging in the underground of Metal, you can […]
Here we have a split 7" EP by two Colombian bands and from what I was able to gather, they share some of the same members between them, so it is sort of an incestuous split, hehe. Anyway, thinking of Colombia mighty MASACRE springs to mind and besides them I haven’t heard any other band […]
The big problem of today’s Metal scene is that fans want their favorite bands to record their classic albums once again. PRIEST fans are waiting for new "Painkiller", METALLICA fans want new "Master Of Puppets", MAIDEN maniacs would love to get another "The Number Of The Beast" or "Somehwere In Time", and so on. Someone […]
Two years ago, the German four piece INVOKER released their first assault “A New Age”. This album nearly came out of the nothing back then and blew me away, due to the fluent and catchy mix of Black and Death Metal INVOKER presented on that album. Now the Saxons are back with their second album […]
