With BONE GNAWER, we have another musical playground of Mr. Kam Lee and Mr. Rogga Johansson. Yes, it’s the same combination of veterans that makes up THE GROTESQUERY as well. But unlike them, this band has a completely different approach to Death Metal. BONE GNAWER won’t tell you horror stories based on ideas of H.P. […]
Californian cult Heavy / Doom gang LOST BREED releasing a 17 tracks compilation, and without being a pothead wizard I predict anyone who ever loved that stuff has to get this compilation too. First because you always do when old heroes show up again. And second, it’s worth it. Even though they also signed that […]
DESOLATION ANGELS is a British NWOBHM / Power Metal band which has released a modest repetoire since their formation in 1981. This contains two full-lengths (”Desolation Angels” in 1986 and ”While The Flame Still Burns” in 1991), three demos (”Demo 1” in 1981, ”Fury” in 1987 and ”Demo 1987” in 1989), a single in 1984 […]
Fittingly to the very worthy anniversary edition of the mighty first TYRANT album “Legions Of The Dead”, the Portuguese label Blood & Iron Records re-released the band’s second album “Too Late To Pray” from 1987 in an expanded and re-mastered new edition as well. This album was originally unleashed two years after the epic debut. […]
There are countless bands out in the Metal world that chose the name TYRANT. The Metal Archives site lists 19 of them, and I’m sure there were some more that didn’t record anything notable. But… there’s only one true TYRANT! And these TYRANT are from Pasadena, California and are around since 1978! Never on hiatus […]
SACRED STEEL, aggressive Heavy Metal from Germany that we all have headbanged a lot to during the years, or well no, not this SACRED STEEL. They hail from Chicago and never made that much fuss, before they disbanded in 1994. So I reckon not many have heard about them, and that is quite a shame […]
I don’t know how many Black Metal bands roam Portugal, though I know the man behind this band J.A. is involved in a lot of the Black Metal bands that are making noise from Portugal (mostly known DECAYED and ALASTOR), though he is also active in three other bands than this one. A damn creative […]
So, NECROGOD is a new project of Rogga Johansson? Why is he doing side projects instead of concentrating on his own band PAGANIZER? Or am I too stupid to ask? He’s quite a legend for sure!! Nah, forget about it! Let’s just start with the new offering from Mr. Rogga Johansson, the NECROGOD MCD “Inexorable […]
There are things in life that just need to happen. Two bands that love to release split 7”es joined forces to release a… aplit 7”. German Death lunatics REVEL IN FLESH (five splits so far) and the Malaysian war machine HUMILIATION (four splits up to now) did what they love best: entering a studio to […]
Ancient Darkness Productions is a small Danish label and mailorder and mostly offers excellent material. So I was curious to hear the tunes of DEPARTED SOULS from the Netherlands, who were totally unknown to me so far. Formed in 2013, they have released a demo so far and now their first five-track EP called "Barbaric […]
