The Dutch extreme Metal scene is known for a lot of good to fantastic bands. And still there’s no end in sight, taking into concern how many old bands reunited or restarted in the last years. Of course there are newer bands as well. KHAOZ from Amersfoort is one of these fairly new bands. The […]
Hmm… this EP is a rather controversial one… just have a look at its playing time and you already know that the two featured live tracks ‘Revelation Of Doom’ (the opening track off "Under The Sign Of Hell") and ‘Ritual’ (from GORGOROTH’s debut full-length "Pentagram") would’ve better been saved as bonus material for an upcoming […]
Like MARDUK, GORGOROTH is a long-running Black Metal band with just one original member composing (most) all of the music. And in my opinion, one guy can only keep writing good stuff for so long (with some rare exceptions). I love early GORGOROTH albums, and even some of their music with the overrated Gaahl, but […]
Oh man, it took the band ages to come up with their highly anticipated third output. I almost thought I would never be able to hold this piece of great Metal art in my hands. Almost seven years have passed by since the New Zealand Death / Thrash force unleashed their last album "Carved And […]
POSSESSION is a rather new Belgian horde, risen out of the ashes of DAWN OF CRUCIFIXION, a blackened thrashing monster that released a couple of cool demos before an untimely demise, as screamer V. Viriakh left the band to get a little more into the pit of Black Metal with POSSESSION. Bassist / guitarist I. […]
The first mistake of this re-release is the title. There is only one EP ("In Decandence", 2006) plus a demo called "All We Believed In" from the year 2002. The second and more serious fault is simply the fact that the music is mostly uninteresting. Melodic Death Doom Metal in its most needless form. Of […]
Anyone in need of an IN FLAMES clone? If not, better stop reading. "Scars Of Daylight" is the debut by OUTLYING from Canada, originally released 2011 and GS Productions are now in charge of the European version. Like I wrote above, the band is heavily influenced by the recent IN FLAMES albums, which means no […]
German perverts DEAD have had a long career since its inception back in 1990. Purveyors of an obscene mix of Death Metal, Grindcore and Sleazy Rock’n’Roll, these guys have been releasing splits, 7" EPs and albums for 2 decades. And they continue their quality delivery up to this date. GS Productions has re-issued their debut […]
TOXODEATH was probably the first extreme Metal band I ever listened to from Mexico, thanks to their Wild Rags debut album “Mysteries About Life And Death” back in 1990. Why they never got bigger than this is beyond me, I guess there is some kind of curse on the Mexican scene that great bands like […]
DISPATCHED was a pretty unknown band from Sweden, who also drowned in the mass of releases back in the mid 90s. After releasing four demos, they finally got signed to underground label Exhumed Productions and started the recordings for their debut album "Blackshadows", which unfortunately never really got released apart from some pressed promo tapes, […]
