Released in late 2009, this split between Hungarian band NADIR, and fellow countrymen DIM VISION, is a wedding of two styles as much as it is a split between talented bands. The NADIR side of the release might strike some die-hard underground supporters as downright unpalatable, but that’s their failing, not NADIR’s. Love it or […]
What a slap in the face! Of course MUTILATION didn’t reinvent the wheel with this album, but if you are out for a brutal slab of PURE Death Metal fashioned in the old ways, you will certainly welcome "Conflict Inside" like a bowl of fresh air! All the ingredients are here to make any Death […]
Necrolucas from Poland’s ANIMA DAMNATA joined forces with a Norwegian guy called Nordra and together they entered Necromorbus Studios / Sweden (e.g. ARMAGEDDA, WATAIN, FUNERAL MIST) in early 2004 to record four own tunes plus a cover of DARKTHRONE’s ‘Inn I De Dype Skogers Favn’. MORD play traditional, raw Black Metal with many thrashing parts, […]
Diabolical Constellation Productions have unearthed one of the best split albums ever released. This was originally released by Killer Elite Records way back in ’86 but now repressed by this newly formed label in noble digipak form. METAL DEADNESS is the testament of two very young pioneering bands that stormed our ears during mid 80s […]
When I got the info that Displeased Records was gonna re-release the first two MASTER albums, I was a bit skeptical at first and couldn’t really see the necessity of such a project. I mean, from what I remembered both albums were pretty much unsalable for a really long time due to obvious lack of […]
If I remember correctly "On The Seventh Day God Created… Master" was actually not the second, but already the third MASTER full-length (not counting the unreleased 1985 album here)… The material that originally had been written for album number two and of which several songs already found their way into the band’s live performences way […]
Sometimes it’s only one song which makes the difference. Think this old rule is more than applicable to this release from the British band LYRINX. The band is playing raw misanthropic Black Metal and this album had been released by Insidious Poisoning in early 2008. The playing time is less than 30 minutes because we […]
Again, this excellent Lithuanian label gives us some stuff of its own country, although this time it’s a split CD by two young bands. The first one formed in 2001 (LUCTUS) by only one member, which lives in Rome but hasn’t forgotten its country, and has in its live line-up members of bands like FUCK […]
I’m not exactly a fan of split releases, but if the participating acts equally know to impress it’s definitely a cool thing. And in this case here, it certainly was! Both bands previously released their material on their own already, so die hard underground collectors not necessarily need this anymore. For everyone else LEPTOTRICHIA vs […]
Is it all about money!?! Collectorwise it’s a fist in the face of the die hard KREATOR fans to do a special edition of "Enemy Of God" nearly more than a year later after its official release, so I guess some maniacs gonna sell their regular versions on ebay, ha! It would be a waste […]
