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 […]
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 […]
