Here we have an old school Heavy Metal band from the UK. "The Root Of All Evil" is their debut full-length, which includes 11 songs of technical and simple riffs, that make an interesting and enjoyable album. One of the album’s highlights is ‘King Of The Night’, a well structured song influenced without a doubt by […]
DAMAGE SOURCE is a German Thrash Metal outfit. Since their first demo tape, "Raise Hell" from 2013, is available on bandcamp, I gave it a listen so I could have a point of comparison. One song off the original release is missing, but it doesn’t matter. These 3 songs showcase a decent production and a […]
Here we have BLOODLUST, a duo hailing from Perth, Australia with their first full-length entitled “Cultus Diaboli”. Being active since 2011, the band so far has released two demos and a single prior to this year’s output. The whole aesthetics this band parades already reveals that this is pure blackened Thrash Metal, nothing more and […]
Two friends decide to team up and jam around a bit. Fine, it’s always fun to hang with friends and play some music, cover a few songs and maybe come up with some nice ideas on your own. But just because the booze and the ecstasy of friendship tells you your shit fucking rocks, doesn’t […]
DOWNWIND from Kiev in the Ukraine are already active in the underground since 2008 and have released four singles and finally this EP back in 2013 independently. This material gets now re-relased by the small Polish label Goressimo Records and this is not a bad idea, as the material is quite fine. The band plays […]
What can you expect from a recording which was mastered at Sunlight Studios, Stockholm by the hands of Mr. Tomas Skogsberg? Guess what? Could it be old school Death Metal? 100 of 100 possible points, guys. TORTURERAMA’s first release, their demo CD "Left As Remains", has this sticker on it and therefore I can only […]
With “Close Encounters Of The Morbid Kind”, Belgiums own TORTURERAMA present us their first full-length after two EPs, last year’s “It Begins At Birth” initially released as a tape. Packaged in a tasty artwork by Juanjo Castellano, “Close Encounters Of The Morbid Kind” takes no prisoners from the first guitar riffs of the opener ‘Bonesawer’. […]
Them Danes DEUS OTIOSUS are back again. The year 2015 saw them enter the studio to record two new songs. Once more the five piece shows how very close Death and Thrash Metal can be connected. Thus the two new songs ‘Greater Horror’ and ‘Seperatio Leprosorum’ can be seen as the essence of the band’s […]
If you ever believed that there’s only extreme or sick music coming from Finland, you might not be too wrong. The land of the thousand lakes offers a variety of strange sounds, yet there’s also a lot of bands that are more clinging to traditional musical values. WOLFSHEAD from Oulu is one of them. The […]
First time that I heard this band. I never thought that this style of Metal also exists in Argentina. I was stuck for their Heavy Metal and Death Metal scene and I can say that this band really sounds like PANTERA, SHADOWS FALL and LAMB OF GOD etc. (correct me if I’m wrong). This album was released last […]
