If you judge this release just by its artwork and band name, you could easily be on the wrong trace. Song titles like ‘Festering’, ‘Exhumed’, ‘Proliferation Of Infected Leucocytes’ and ‘Psychi Convulsions Of Neurasthenia’ might let you think of some notorious pathology freaks that wanna pay tribute to the “Symphonies Of Sickness“. But “From The […]
The Belgian Grindcore (or, to use their own definition: Mincecore) veterans AGATHOCLES had their approximately 326th release last year. And don’t think I have overdone the number of releases here… AGATHOCLES are around for nearly three decades now and since 1990, there were about 15 releases of the band every year. Most of them were […]
After “The Fleshland” and a zillion split releases COFFINS are back with a new EP to torture our auditory canals with oozing riffs, crushing drums and macabre grunts which immediately transport pictures of horror, death and pain into our depraved minds. “Craving To Eternal Slumber” is what their new abortion is called and it’s definitely […]
RAVENSIRE from Portugal was formed in 2011 and after releasing the EP "Iron Will" in 2012 they now march forward with their debut full-length album. This limited cassette edition released by Caverna Abismal Records once again sets the quality bar high, really nice and detailed foldout cover, inlay lyric sheet, white tape and of course […]
ARALLU from Israel look back on 18 years of band history and have just released their 5th full-length album called “Geniewar”. The presented nine tracks plus IRON MAIDEN cover tune consist of a mixture of Death- and Thrash Metal with obvious influences of their culture in form of oriental sounds and instrumentation. The opener ‘Evil […]
BELLS OF ACHERON, one of Colombia’s finest zines (if not THE finest), has finally returned with its # 3, which is actually already the fourth issue since editor Jesus Claros originally started out with # 0 a couple of years ago. And if you already enjoyed the previous issues, you can blindly order this one […]
The new black is apparently bands with "known members", once an alias could do it, even though an alias seldom lasted very long, as most people creating music, art and such, would like to get a little praise for it. I guess the only one who really managed to keep an alias during his career, […]
Looks like the ‘Panzerhexe’ is on the prowl again and that she won’t take any prisoners! This German battleship from Göttingen / Lower Saxony has been around since 2010 and even though "Iron Flesh" is already their second full-length, these dudes are completely new to me. Don’t feel mislead by that short cello intro, because […]
Already in 2008 CRUCIAMENTUM released their first demo in form of a CD-R including just one song. This song called ‘Rotten Flesh Crucifix’ is included on this second demo tape as final song here and it’s the perfect finish for a great demotape. Demotape – that’s the keyword here. CRUCIAMENTUM spreads this demorecording as tape […]
You’re sick and tired of reading underground publications in front of a computer screen? You can’t stand the evolution of fanzines either, with their aim to come across as professional as possible (by using high glossy paper, a full colored pro-printed or photoshopped cover, computer generated layout etc.)? Then you should pay attention now, because […]
