MISANTHROPE – Symbols Of Misery

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 […]

DARK SADNESS / A NAKED SOUL – Twirl Of Shadows

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 […]

NOTORIUS – Rage And Fail

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 […]

KADAVERFICKER – Nekrokore Is Love

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 […]

DAWN OF AZAZEL – The Tides Of Damocles

Here we have the new release from a band which we featured long time ago in our humble zine. I am talking about New Zealand based veterans and masters of brutality aka DAWN OF AZAZEL. We featured their very first 7"EP and debut album "Law Of The Strong" which was unleashed upon this rotten planet […]

EARTHEN TONGUE – Deviant Burial

Illuminating moments: sitting together with friends talking about particular bands and the style they play. While discussing, it won’t take long and you will get lost in a game of helpless genre dropping, trying to describe something you don’t find a box for. Gladly it became harder to label bands. Which to me feels like […]

MARTHYRIUM / ERED – Psalms Of Plagues & Cult Of Death

This split EP, released in 2013, by the Catalan based label Negra Nit Distro is still around and kicking, and if you haven’t checked it out yet, it is not too late, there should still be a few copies around, so get off the chair and get hold of one, if you like what you […]

VORUM – Current Mouth

Finally (to me) the best old / new Death Metal band hailing from Finland is back, now with an EP that is full of obscure and twisted Death Metal played and executed in its own personal way, not copying anyone or trying to sound like anyone else. When “The Poisoned Void” was released back in […]

NYCTOPHOBIA – Ritual II – The Will Of Darkness

Another fairly new Spanish Black Metal band rises from the dark crypts with a fresh release. Three years after their demo “Ritual I – Summoning The Abyss", the Catalan four piece NYCTOPHOBIA releases its second strike, pretty logically titled “Ritual II – The Will Of Darkness”. And what do they have to give to those […]

CRYPTIC WANDERINGS / IN THE SHADES – Split

Two rather unknown Black Metal bands do the honours for a joint effort, a vinyl split 7” in this case with one song from each band. CRYPTIC WANDERINGS from Zaragoza, Spain formed out of the ashes of AMNION, taking the name of this band’s only album as their band name. For them, it’s their first […]
