Sweden’s masters of busyness, also known as HEAVYDEATH, are here again, with their second full-length release in this year. “Dark Phoenix Rising” is the follow up to “Eternal Sleepwalker”, that saw the pale light of day in March, released by Svart Records. Since I still haven’t heard that album, I can only refer to the […]
This is already the fourth album of the American ÆVANGELIST. "De Masticatione Mortuorum In Tumulis" (2012), "Omen Ex Simulacra" (2013) and "Writhes In The Murk" (2014) preceeded. As well as the EPs "Oracle Of Infinite Despair" (2011), "Nightmare Flesh Offering" (2013), "Abstract Catharsis" (2015). Also a split with ESOTERICA can be attributed to these two guys […]
Out of all AMBEVILENCE’s that are existing in the world, this one entity is by far the most mysterious one – and the ONE that should be interesting to Voices From The Darkside readers! This 10" LP contains two tracks ‘Metamorphic Evil’ (6:36) and ‘Sigil Of The Perverse’ (9:32) which were released in different / […]
Choosing a name of a band is always something special, since it represents the artistic unity of the gathering of individuals who got together to play music. Having this in mind the band’s name VI is simply dull, I really have no clue what it may hint to. The Latin number six / 6? Whatever, […]
The name TEMPLE OF BAAL was saved under the file Black Metal, but obviously the French band changed during the last releases more and more into the Death Metal direction. A former Black Metal band playing occult Death Metal, well that sounds pretty common. Since the band released their first demo back in 1999 and […]
Hell, what a name! After the numerous listening sessions I now can say TYRANT GOATGALDRAKONA without a hitch! This is a Hungarian duo going by the names of Hellfire Commander of Eternal War and Pain (vocals / drums) and Grave Desecration and Necrosodomy (guitars / bass). "Horns In The Dark" is their debut album, originally […]
New bands are always welcome in the extreme Metal scene, especially those with a cover artwork like the one REPULSIVE AGGRESSION from Oslo used for their second album “Preachers Of Death”. Eye-catching black/white pictures with details as well as some clichés are my kind of art for a record jacket. So I put some hopes […]
Black Metal. Nowadays, that tag encompasses hundreds of variations based on different musical, lyrical and aesthetical approaches. It has become a complex genre in itself. Ergo, finding a band that offers something different became a mission, at least for me. Add to it that I am not a huge Black Metal fan and there you […]
I do like my CANDLEMASS, just as well as the Australians in LUCIFER’S FALL like theirs. The band is a quite new entity, just ready with their first full-length on Hammerheart Records. 7 slabs of traditional Doom Metal, greatly inspired by the atmosphere and delivery of the Swedish masters of Epic Doom. That written, LUCIFER’S […]
This is a truly impressive release of atmospheric, dark and blackened Death Metal, although I’m not sure if I completely understand it. The three own songs are very challenging, twisted, technical, brutal, chaotic and obscure compositions with hoarse demonic vocals. INEXORABLE creates a very unique, obscure and vicious atmosphere and this makes those Germans very […]
