There are no prices to win with this kind of music in the year 2015, I guess. But that is a pity because the fast-forward Thrash Metal with fierce vocals is well played, the sound is transparent and forceful. The band from Italy is playing a brief and concise mix of European and American Thrash […]
The band is named after Vigo Von Homburg Deutschendorf and initially I thought about a character like Götz von Berlichingen or Gilles Des Rais but in fact it is the paranormal villain from the movie Ghostbusters 2. To make things more strange the vocalist is wearing a spiked helmet with a dozen of spikes, the […]
VORAGE is a duo from the Midlands in the United Kingdom and play a blackend but ambient version of Death Metal. After a demo released in the last year only on cassette, the CD version now comes via Helltrasher Productions, who want to give a wider audience the chance, to listen to the dark material. […]
Finland. A country whose Death Metal is endlessly imitated and praised the world over. Listening to this band MASK OF SATAN and knowing they are Finnish, my expectations soar understandably high and I am not disappointed. This promo is the first release of theirs and as good as it is already, I’m sure it can […]
It seems that THORNESBREED really must’ve changed for the better with this new release… I gotta admit that I personally didn’t hear them before, but I do remember that good ol’ Hacker of UNHOLY TERROR magazine still mentioned the occasional use of keyboards on their 1999 debut demo "Suppression Of Desire". On "Preaching The Sin" […]
THORNESBREED from the eastern part of Germany are already active for nearly two decades, but are only releasing their second full-length now. The band plays a Black Metal painted version of Death Metal, moving within the borderline of both styles. Oppressive guitars and menacing atmospheres are their strength and the band manages to drag the […]
In the last few weeks, I heard a lot of new Death Metal bands from the US of A with a distinct edge of Doom Death. The next fine band that fits in this line is the one man project RITUAL CHAMBER from San Francisco. This band is the brainchild of Numinas (a.k.a. Dario Derna) […]
Here we have a fairly new band from Umea, Sweden. After a couple of demos beginning in 2012, "Preludes And Nocturnes" is their first studio album and from the outset it’s not exactly a triumph in things carnal but if you want to be mean you could say it’s an agony. This is basically a […]
From the speakers emerge a dark and somber atmosphere of crushing and dark Death Metal, together with a stench of a grave closed for almost 20 years, not at all pleasant, but that is what Swedish WOMBBATH sticks in our face with their reanimated, though still decomposed album "Internal Caustic Torments" originally released back in […]
Are we living in the decade were all the 90s underground acts want to return and show the new bands how to play? Or maybe is it that we are facing an overly saturated scene return? I beg for a mix of both. While most of the bands from late 80s early 90s (all genres) […]
