This five-piece from Rome is on a mission to put Italy on the map of modern Heavy Rock. The name HELLIGATORS and the title of their second album “Road Roller Machine” already hint on it. And they do pretty well at this. Imagine a well balanced mix of old fashioned Heavy Rock with a certain […]
Polish Black Metal band BLAZE OF PERDITION released their 3rd full-length, "Near Death Revelations". And of cause it has to be an intimate album this time. Taking away the horrible circumstances they had to suffer, before deciding to get together and start this project, it turns out a very personal contention with life and death. […]
A Brazilian band, relocated to L.A.? Looks like the guys from BLACK OIL are out to raise some attention. “Exist To Resist” is the third album, as far as I found out, from this band and after listening to it, I hope they won’t gain too much attention. Why? Because this album is incredibly lousy. […]
Second album from this USA Death Metal trio that is not that far away from what they achieved with their debut album. And that is a very good dose of evil Death Metal very much in the vein of INCANTATION with a few doses of IMMOLATION and some BOLT THROWER for a good mix. If […]
Already the fifth album from this Ukranian band, formed back in 2005. Their style is a mixture of Death and Thrash Metal. There are a lot of references to bands like SEPULTURA, SLAYER, KREATOR, SODOM and later DEATH. The production is really well done for the music style and the execution is also very good […]
I cannot believe this is already 29 years old. Yes, the debut album from this band that started as a Heavy Metal act, is today one of the best material to come from the mighty Brazilian scene. With only 23 minutes long, this is their “Reign In Blood”. The recording is raw, but everything can […]
Black Metal heroes MYSTIFIER have probably (besides SARCOFAGO and VULCANO) released some of the best material to ever come from the early Black Metal scene in Brazil. Obviously that the term Black Metal is used here as it was supposed to be in the early 90s. And with the South American touch only the hordes […]
Formed back in 1989, Brazil’s IMPURITY has been playing their style of blasphemous Black Metal for well over 2 decades. This is a re-release of what is supposed to be their second album from 1996, with what is supposed to be their first album as a bonus. The thing is that I am not sure […]
The self-titled album was the third full-length release in the discography of this California based Power Metal squad, and featured the great Carl Albert on vocals. 1990 (and basically the early ’90s) wasn’t a very good year for traditional Metal, so this really well sounding and really well produced LP seems to be a bit […]
I was happy to read via their Facebook page, that Swedens melodic Black Metal horde ISTAPP are active again under their main moniker and would release some new material soon as it seemed for a while, that ISTAPP is on hold and Isar and Fjalar are only active in NIVLHEL nowadays. So what has changed […]
