If you’ve not heard of FERAL yet, you soon will for they’re set to tour with the legendary MASTER this coming year. Although this is FERAL’s first demo, it demonstrates a band that is at last beginning to find itself. Previously, FERAL played Black Metal, and despite the fact that several Black Metal styled riffs […]
4 years passed since the release of the debut full-length of this promising band. FERAL (re)started the flame after ENTOMBED came up with this type of music on their highly acclaimed “Wolverine Blues” album (in 2011 “Dragged To The Altar” was part of my end of the year Top 10 list due to that). After […]
This is already the 3rd full-length fist in the face by Swedish chaos trio TURBOCHARGED! Personally I have not been overflown by their previous stuff, but of course I’m familar with the old works of their vocalist / bass player Ronnie Ripper (ex – VOMITORY, ex – GEHENNAH etc.) and he keeps the red line […]
To clear the position first. I have to confess, BERZERK are people I know from far so I might be prejudiced. But since bands like JULITH KRISHUN or THE TANGLED LINES (and few others) broke up, the scene around Dresden seemed more or less passed away for a couple years. So it’s nice to witness, […]
Although it’s unfortunate for any band to reach fame by force of repute, it looks like that’s all this band has going for it. Their main attraction is the fact that their drummer is a woman; a little unheard of in the Metal world. It isn’t without precedence, like the EBONSIGHT and ASTARTE bands, for […]
As I am pretty much new in the realm of describing or judging someone else’s art, I finally reached the point where I have to use words which I normally wouldn’t. Solid, would be one of those. "Crucible Of the Infernum" is a solid little EP! I don’t think BLASPHEMIC CRUELTY lined up to redirect […]
GENITAL GRINDER from Italy (not to be mistaken with a few other bands of the same name) are one of the oldest European extreme Death Metal / Grindcore bands. Originally formed under the moniker MASS SLAUGHTER in the year 1990 and although an interruption of eight years (1994 – 2002) surprisingly "Abduction" is the debut […]
A few days ago, a nice little parcel from Weedhunter Records hit my mail box at home. Unpacking it, I found a tape. Yes, one of these old fashioned sound carriers that were very popular in the 1970s and 1980s. And this one was a demo tape, another popular medium for unsigned bands in the […]
The amount of tracks considering the running time already gives a hint, what kind of style this project might be playing. This sick one-man project from Thessaloniki in Greece is addicted to Goregrind. For me, "Succumbed To Infection" is the right soundtrack for cruising in the car during the summer time. The 25 sick tracks […]
There were and still are loads of Pagan Black Metal bands around. And to be honest, most of them are absolutely unimportant. So, what will German FRIGORIS add to the genre? Well, nothing new, but they are doing well in what they do. “Wind” is the second album of the quartet, and it’s already two […]
