Pagan Black Metal is a musical genre that’s overfilled with boring bands. HEIMDALLS WACHT from the German area of Westphalia are one of them. “Ut De Graute Olle Tied (Deel II) – Land Der Nebel” is the sixth record of the band, the second part of their album from 2008. It features seven mostly very […]
Evolution can be a hard word to describe something someone did. Most of the time people think of the term evolution as something that made the person change to a different way, something that might be completely different from what they knew as the "usual" form of act, think or even speak. CRUCIAMENTUM delivered some […]
Peruvian Black Metal power-trio MORBID SLAUGTHER formed in 2009 to create primitive, dark and evil music in the vein of the ancient ones all of us hail and praise. From 2010 to 2014 three demos, a compilation and an EP were released from the darkened depths of Lima to spread evil across the globe. With […]
Some old fashioned Grind Death to please you? Then this split 7” could be a pretty good choice. Italy’s busy bees from HAEMOPHAGUS have released their tenth split release besides two full-length albums. This time, they teamed up with the Pennsylvania based MAUSOLEUM for a joint 7” EP. On their side, HAEMOPHAGUS celebrate their love […]
Two years after their debut DEATHSTORM (formed 2010) are back with a four track EP in 10" vinyl. Wait, two years? Sounds like 30 years, somewhat first half of the 1980s. But obviously the band’s aim is to sound as close as possible to bands like KREATOR and CELTIC FROST. Most manifestly it is the […]
Hailing from Finland these futuristic Black Metallers play a style of it like none other. Comparisons can be made to DIMMU BORGIR and COVENANT of Norway (now known as KOVENANT). The comparisions stop there, futuristic keyboards refresh the listener, Martex pounds his drums as he blast beats and double blasts his way through this album. […]
WIND HEARSE was a Black Metal band from Russia and active between 1991 and 1997. In this time they released a demo and a full-length, both in cassette format only. Their full-length called “Witch’s Arrows” was finally released back in 1996, shortly before they disbanded. Their style takes us back in time to the years […]
In 2014 Tchort and Blood Pervertor left CARPATHIAN FOREST to concentrate on their own new entity THE 3RD ATTEMPT, and they are now ready with their first full-length abomination. Together with the already mentioned 2, we have Ødemark and Tybalt, so quite a seasoned assembly Dark Essence Records has unleased upon us. I stumbled across […]
From a small town, more or less in the middle of Spain, a tad South-East of Madrid, hails ONIRICOUS which released this album on CD on Razorback Records in 2013. The time has now come for a LP release by the fellow Spanish label Equinox Discos, a thing that I find great, as the album […]
Beware for the age of Cthulhu has come again! I have sensed his thoughts, I have heard his voice and it’s calling me (calling me)! A choir of monks is singing for him and you can already hear his tentacles playing the ancient seven-stringed electric guitar. Then the other demons join the incantation with a […]
