The moniker DISPATCHED is one I’ve read about (review) ages ago without ever hearing a single track from. I can’t blame the band because they have a decent discography with six demos, four EPs, a single and three full-length albums. These are ”Blackshadows” form 1994, ”Motherwar” from 2000 and ”Terrorizer (The Last Chapter…)” from 2003. […]
In the last two years, there was this band from Gothenburg that claimed the vast throne of the local melodic Death Metal scene. NORRSKÖLD released an EP and an album that were received well by yours truly. The music Henrik Bodin-Sköld (a.k.a. Norrsköld) and his band (who like him were in IRRBLOSS before) created filled […]
Well, if you’re not into Pagan Metal, it might be a waste of time to continue reading here. The Polish one man band project NEOHERESY is pretty far from being a feast for those into the extreme, brutal and sick. Instead, “Talionis” offers music based on traditional Slavic Folk. These ideas and melodies are interpreted […]
One of those bands that never dies is VIRGIN STEELE. The New York based outfit is around for nearly 35 years now, never really on top, never really dead and buried. After two pretty nice, but not too thrilling pioneering US Metal albums, VIRGIN STEELE released two highly acclaimed, yet not successful albums. The overrated […]
A bunch of talented guys releasing an album at the age of around 20: ”Raising The Corpse”. And just a year earlier they came up with “Fatal Memories”. Iron Pegasus now decided to release them together. And what you witness, seems like a North Korean talent show. Weird, but probably the perfect venue to enjoy […]
The name VOLTUMNA derives from the Etruscan mythology, for more information please visit the library of your choice. "Disciplina Etrusca" is the second full-length by the Italian horde and if you take a look at the band’s photo it is hardly surprising some classic Black Metal is in the air. Do not get me wrong […]
There are at least 6 other bands with the same name… makes you wonder if all words for a Death Metal band are taken? Of course not, but then again what the heck. This young outfit from Mexico presents their debut recording. 7 songs in less than 30 minutes. A formula that proves to be […]
Split releases are tricky. Bands must have more than a few things similar so for the listener the release will flow as one, no matter of the different sounds or production values. In this case, this split digs deep in the 90s for two unknown Mexican bands playing both a very emotional style of Doom […]
It’s just a few months ago that I got hold of the second demo of Saxonias NOTORIUS. “Prophets Of False” received a pretty enthusiastic review by yours truly, leaving me with a thrill of anticipation for the first album on Godeater Records. And now it’s here. “Rage And Fail” is the title of the EP […]
Even though KADAVERFICKER are around for twenty years (with some time on hiatus), they are really new to our pages. But their discography is quite overfilled with dozens of split releases, yet only one album, “Exploitation Nekronation" from 2012. Somehow this, in combination with the name and the album title, screams Grindcore! Well, it screams […]
