I suppose the title of this compilation might refer to the years this band has been around. Having already released 6 albums, this band from the Ukraine plays a Black Metal style that draws influences form bands like IMMORTAL, MAYHEM, BATHORY and so on, to be delivered in their native language. For this reason they […]
Very littel info is there about this two man band from the Ukraine, and this is their debut album. Starting directly with the music, the band plays mainly a very fast Black Metal style which can be compared to MARDUK and to some Black Metal era DARKTHRONE. But they also use some slower sections, while […]
Brazilian Black Metal trio VULTURINE have an extensive discography and since 2002 released a whole range of demos, EPs, two full-length albums and now this – their third opus called "Tentáculos Da Aberração" on Portugal’s great Caverna Abismal Records. And once again they unearthed the blackest diamond of truly immersing, raw as it was in […]
SENTINEL BEAST is a band of one album. Literally, as they were active between 1984 and 1987, and left only one album titled "Depths Of Death", which originally came out in 1986 on Metal Blade Records. They kind of reunited a few years ago, and except playing several shows, managed to release the "Up From […]
The Swedish duo AGGRESSIVE MUTILATOR is very busy in the underground scene, releasing demo after demo since their creation in 2012 and currently unleashed their demo number eight now, briefly after the cassette release of a full-length album and an EP with a bunch of songs in the last year. Their main style on this […]
Even though the Greek EMBRACE OF THORNS are around for ages (1999, to be precise), they never crossed my way. To be honest, I never really checked out the bands from Greece – my fault, I know, especially now! EMBRACE OF THORNS are from Athens, and, unlike the majority of the Greek extreme Metal acts, […]
Well, being that OBSEQUIAE released one of my favorite debuts in recent years, I was very stoked to be able to review the new one. Thankfully, there hasn’t been any bizarre left turns for the band. OBSEQUIAE continues on the path of scintillating medieval melodic Black / Death Metal. For the uninitiated, they are in […]
Return… the resurrection… re-awakening the pride… all these words and more can be used to define why right now in 2011 there is a review of this band. In this case, someone had the idea of doing a documental about a Heavy Metal band that could have been a gargantuan monster just to find out […]
Already the fact that ANVIL re-united with producer legend Chris Tsangarides again (almost 25 years after the band had been using his services on two of their most successful albums "Metal On Metal" and "Forged In Fire") should be reason enough to give this new record a listen. Don’t get me wrong: by this I’m […]
All those of you who are going to complain about an ANVIL review in VOICES now can fuck off! These Canadian masters of intense Metal certainly deserve a lot more recognition than the majority of wannabee-brutal copycats that we have to deal with day by day. I actually get constantly pissed whenever there’s a new […]
