Two years ago, four guys met in São Paulo, Brazil, to form a unit. For themselves, they chose the pretty mysterious names R, G, A and V, for their band, they decided to go as JUPITERIAN. Up to now, they released an digital only EP called “Archaic” and another digital single called “Drag Me To […]
Ah, Spain… That warm and hot-blooded country has produced another dark example of Swedish Death Metal. Ataraxy are a young band (according to band’s info) that dipped their talents into the pool of northern darkness. Their demo “Rotten Shit” is a fine specimen of strictly 90s Swedish sound. They are following the lead of their […]
From one of the standard bearers of the old school Death Metal movement, the F.D.A. Records label, comes the Finnish NERLICH. Just those two words together, ‘Finnish’ and ‘Lich’ should give a ballpark idea of what kind of soundpicture we’re getting here. The multi-tentacled and mutant DEMILICH is a strong influence on this band, although […]
KRIEGSZITTERN is a German word that means “Shellshock” or “Bomb Shell Disease“, a posttraumatic stress disorder caused by flying handgrenades and bombs during the first World War. The soldiers in the trenches were traumatized and mentally destroyed by the war and the endless fear of grenades, and back home, their symptoms were called “Kriegszittern”. This […]
Sometimes, a band needs a second chance. New York’s PRIME EVIL is one of those who got their chance to start anew. Originally, the band started in 1984, released three demo tapes and a 7” on the tiny Rage Records label before splitting up in 1992. All this stuff is available on the hard to […]
Now this was a pleasant surprise. With a name such as DEMON INCARNATE I was expecting an average mix of Black / Death Metal, which is so typical lately. But no. As soon as I pressed play on the first track, I was amazed. The only thing I could think midway the opener ‘Grinder’ was […]
V12 from Portugal are those kind of bands that were over too quick even if they were in for bigger things. This compilation includes all of their works from the 80s just excluding their only studio album. The first CD compromises of the first era of the band with their first vocalist. Music wise V12 […]
When FATALIST released its debut demo “Loss” back in 2007 I was quite impressed. This was cool traditional Swedish sounding Death Metal with some US old school influences. Although FATALIST didn’t create anything sensational new you can’t blame them for being a copy cat because you won’t find the typical ENTOMBED or DISMEMBER riffs. They […]
The old teams up with the new. Chilean Death Metal pioneers PENTAGRAM CHILE join forces with modern age titans UNAUSPRECHLICHEN KULTEN to release 7 exclusive inches of pure madness and horror – and they did it extremely well. The covers already reveal that this is nothing for the faint hearted. While the PENTAGRAM CHILE one […]
AL AZIF from Madrid in Spain are already active since 1999, but have only released a demo and a five-track EP so far. Finally they have put together a full-length and release this piece of hate on their own. The eight tracks recited in Spanish language consist of a mixture of brutal Death- and Thrash […]
