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 […]
The always confidently tasteful label Caligari Records released a new gem. More than thirty tape releases, and it’s California’s GLOAM who delight us with their first full-length on tape, limited to 175 copies. What does this new band have in store for us listeners? Just good things, of course! “Hex Of Nine Heads” offers us […]
First thoughts about one man Black Metal bands are kinda, let’s say biased. Over the years it turned out to be highly interesting for some people to not be able to play their instruments well, but make a “project” out of those weaknesses. Give it a mystic name and pretend that the dark lord himself […]
How many bands this guy Rogga Johansson is trying to create? Is he seeking for some world-record or something? Hard to tell. The fact is that most of all those bands are in the Death Metal reign and this one is no exception. And to be honest, this is probably some of the best material […]
Years, I tell you! Years it has been since I have heard anything of worth, let alone any serious Thrash Metal barbarity rip from the earth out of Quebec, Canada. "Death And Destruction ", RIOTOR’s debut demo is one of the most promising, most proficient demo / CD recordings that I have had the pleasure […]
"Uneventful“, "…just not as good“, “…the same sound”, are statements you’ll find about “Rusted Throne” on the internet. Maybe those descriptions fit. And maybe, a few different people coming to the same conclusion, means the chance they are right within their judgments might be therefore proportional higher. But maybe, in this case I can certify […]
This is a compilation of all the material made by VALIUM, a band from Portugal, active from 1985 to 1988. During the three years of their existence, the band made some rough sounding, but cool Heavy Metal. Later on, they would abandon the name VALIUM and become CASABLANCA who I assume are much more well […]
