When the name ANASARCA appeared on the VFTD mailing list I was immediately alerted. Could it be possible? That a band responsible for three excellent Death Metal albums in the period from 1998 to 2004 being back after a delay of eleven years? A band responsible for "Moribund", one of the best German Death Metal […]
Swedish horde NECROPHOR are not totally unknown in the underground, as they just unleashed their demo number three within only three years of band history. This time, they were not able to record in Studio Sunlight, so they decided to record and mix the demo themselves and "Exterminatus" turned out great and comes up with […]
Something fuckin’ heavy from Caligari again! This time, the gem digging tape label presents us a really new band from France. ABJVRATION started just a year ago, but the three band members are experienced in bands like FUNERALIUM or HKY. Those who know these bands might already assume that ABJVRATION are more on the Doom […]
Debut album of this Ukranian Black Metal band, that for the first impression has a quite disturbing cover depicting the vocalist which has a weird looking waste… well, pass over the shocking cover art, a very macabre sounding intro precedes their songs of a somewhat symphonic style of Black Metal, not far away from early […]
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, […]
