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 […]
Well, "UN-Necessary Evil" would be a proper title for this worthless MCD by US mid-tempo Metalcore / Thrashers RELLIK. Although I guess that the band is around for some time now (on the cover is a tombstone with a 1987 carved in it), it does not improve anything on "Necessary Evil". The four songs presented […]
RELLIK is a rather new force on the American Death / Thrash Metal scene, the bottom of the music is laid upon a Death Metal pattern infused with some thrashy riffing and guitar leads, and a growled screamed hybrid bastard of a vocal, suiting this dark and aggressive burst of intensity quite well. When I […]
Germany is one of the greatest countries overall. Lifestyle, entertainment, culture, music and above all Metal. You can listen to 1 band (new or old) each day over 5 years without repeating a single record and all of them will have something to remember, a trademark. Talking about remembering and trademarks, the landmark set during […]
The European edition of "When Chaos Reigns", the third album by NO RAZA from Colombia, is published via the Russian label GS Productions. Once more a positive effect of the world wide web and the possibility to connect people all over the globe sharing the same interests. As a bonus this edition comes along with […]
SOLARISIS is a Dutch band that mix their brutal Death Metal sound with a melodic undertone that decorated the first THE GATHERING album for example. ”Of Plague Proportions” is the second full-length of this band from Enschede and was originally released in digital form and in own management. Online info learns that it was supposed […]
