Black Metal heroes MYSTIFIER have probably (besides SARCOFAGO and VULCANO) released some of the best material to ever come from the early Black Metal scene in Brazil. Obviously that the term Black Metal is used here as it was supposed to be in the early 90s. And with the South American touch only the hordes […]
Formed back in 1989, Brazil’s IMPURITY has been playing their style of blasphemous Black Metal for well over 2 decades. This is a re-release of what is supposed to be their second album from 1996, with what is supposed to be their first album as a bonus. The thing is that I am not sure […]
The self-titled album was the third full-length release in the discography of this California based Power Metal squad, and featured the great Carl Albert on vocals. 1990 (and basically the early ’90s) wasn’t a very good year for traditional Metal, so this really well sounding and really well produced LP seems to be a bit […]
I was happy to read via their Facebook page, that Swedens melodic Black Metal horde ISTAPP are active again under their main moniker and would release some new material soon as it seemed for a while, that ISTAPP is on hold and Isar and Fjalar are only active in NIVLHEL nowadays. So what has changed […]
I always keep an eye on the scene of our South West European neighbours just to be regularly updated with the latest news what is going on in Spain. There is no doubt about it that there has been a quite vital Metal movement (in all genres) on the Iberian Peninsula since the last couple […]
With “Omnipotense Aeternae Diabolous”, the Costa Rican PAGANUS DOCTRINA released their first full-length album. Some insiders might use the word finally here, since the band started about two decades ago. The reason for this extreme delay is not only the fact that PAGANUS DOCTRINA were on a longer hiatus. Furthermore, the Black Metal scene in […]
There are plenty of bands out there devoted to the ancient ones and able to create some exceptional musical moments rather than elevating line-up changes to an abstract science. So instead of speculating about the latest development regarding MORBID ANGEL the decent Death Metal lunatics may keep calm and listen to “Chronicles Of The Doomed […]
What can I say about F.D.A. Records? This German label has been signing some premiere old school style Death Metal bands the last 6 years. I can’t even imagine how many demos they must go through on a daily basis and how they filter them to ensure they are really selecting choice bands, but regardless […]
SARTEGOS comes out from Galician lands where the Metal scene is strong and this is their first mini album release after a couple well received demos. In fact it already came out as a 12"LP version on I, Voidhanger Records and as mini CD on Bloody Productions. Now here I have the limited edition (200) […]
This is the third album of this German melodic Death Metal band, and the first time I have ever heard of them. The quite simple, yet effective cover art in black and white fits more a Black Metal band, but in a way it also fits the band. Although the music style is within the […]
