They call their style Thrash / Hardcore Metal. For this Argentinian band this is their first album, and the description they give is quite spot on. They sound a lot like what SEPULTURA is doing since the “Chaos AD” album. It is a very well recorded output, with heavy guitars, and with some EXODUS / […]
This is the third album from this Russian Folk Metal band. In fact this is really Folk / Rock music with some Heavy Metal influences. Well produced and recorded, this is to me more like a Flute Metal band than anything else. The vocals are handled in a small part with a female vocalist and […]
With AZAVATAR, we have one more solo project, in this case the one of Azavatar, who teamed up with three other musicians active in the underground scene of Munich. The musical direction seems to be clear just by reading the title of the opening track ‘Kvlt’. Yet, the classic Black Metal cliché won’t bite here. […]
They have a little Italy in New York, placed in Manhattan. So, how much NYHC has emerged from there? Probably not much, though I doubt they have a little New York in Milano, Italy, even though the guys in V-ANGER are quite fond of New York Hardcore, as well as the "Arise" and "Chaos AD" […]
You’re a fan of Death and Doom Metal and bored of the typical cut and paste zines, with lots of skulls, guts and monsters or the high glossy ones with faceless computer layout? And you’re able to understand the German language? Well, then FROM BEYOND… might be an option for you to check out. Issue […]
THE OATH from France are active for 15 years by now and “Consequences” is the fourth full-length. The characteristic feature of the band’s music is a mix between Gothic and Black Metal with the sometimes heavy use of synthesizers / keyboards. Maybe some people know AGATHODAIMON from Germany, a band which used to play the […]
There are no prices to win with this kind of music in the year 2015, I guess. But that is a pity because the fast-forward Thrash Metal with fierce vocals is well played, the sound is transparent and forceful. The band from Italy is playing a brief and concise mix of European and American Thrash […]
The band is named after Vigo Von Homburg Deutschendorf and initially I thought about a character like Götz von Berlichingen or Gilles Des Rais but in fact it is the paranormal villain from the movie Ghostbusters 2. To make things more strange the vocalist is wearing a spiked helmet with a dozen of spikes, the […]
VORAGE is a duo from the Midlands in the United Kingdom and play a blackend but ambient version of Death Metal. After a demo released in the last year only on cassette, the CD version now comes via Helltrasher Productions, who want to give a wider audience the chance, to listen to the dark material. […]
Finland. A country whose Death Metal is endlessly imitated and praised the world over. Listening to this band MASK OF SATAN and knowing they are Finnish, my expectations soar understandably high and I am not disappointed. This promo is the first release of theirs and as good as it is already, I’m sure it can […]
