With the Texan outfit OCEANS OF SLUMBER, we have a pretty new band around that seems to be real hot shit. Otherwise Century Media would not have signed this band to release their first real record after their digital release “Aetherial” two years ago. Risen from the ashes of Houston’s legendary Grindcore purists INSECT WARFARE, […]
Brazilian Death Metal figurehead KRISIUN return with their tenth album to celebrate their 25th anniversary, four years after their last fine output. The three brothers are a really reliable force in the Death Metal scene, as they always deliver quality above average. With their former output “The Great Execution” they released a really strong predecessor, […]
I’m actually familiar with DIVISION SPEED since their very first recordings featuring session member Ricky Wagner from REZET on vocals but kinda lost track after they did their debut demo with full-time vocalist Hunter. Now, a few recordings and years later, the German war command finally managed to unleash their very first full-length record via […]
THE UNQUIET GRAVE is a one man project by Micael Zetterberg (WARDENCLYFFE, AGGRESSIVE MUTILATOR), that he created in 2005 due to his failure finding other members. Musically “Cosmic Dawn” sets apart from what we usually hear from Sweden in the Doom Metal department. Confirmed by Micael himself, the sound is heavily influenced by the now […]
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 […]
