First of all, I would have wished that that this release would have been split into two mini CDs if the re-release of an old IUVENES demo is necessary at all and not a split-CD where I cannot see any connection between both participants. However, the first three songs are occupied by Polish IUVENES who […]
What happen when you take two brutal bands and put them together onto one CD? And if one of the bands features members from MORTICIAN? Holy shit, that’s exactly what we have here! This CD features two of the most brutal bands in today’s Death Metal scene. But, as always, lets start with the first […]
Ahhhh, it feels so good to have these guys back in action after so many years!! If you belong to the unfortunate species who are cursed by the fact that you were born a little too late to still remember these Californian Death / Thrashers make sure to check out Laurent’s review on the re-issue […]
I hope I don’t have to introduce mighty INGURGITATING OBLIVION to Voices readers? Wise people have been waiting for this split CD since I wrote the studio report in 2001 (check it out!) and now it is finally being released on CD-R. It contains the material of the "Cadence And Perspective In Desolation" mini CD […]
Being a CD addicted, I would of course have preferred to see "Crusaders Of Blasphemy" being re-issued on compact disc as well, but at the end of the day a tape version is still better than not having the featured material at all. Originally this used to be a five song promo CD, recorded at […]
Well, if you are really looking for something to make you feel miserable, weary and desperately in the need to shot yorself in the head to untie the bonds that keep you chained to this godforsaken world, then this CD would be the perfect background music for your last goodbye! All the qualities DODSFERD is […]
This is a little off topic way to start the review, but I need to get it off my chest: I hate when bands use the same name as other bands! Besides this little pet peeve, I was very impressed with "One Way Get Away" which was my first exposure to the Canadian Thrashers. This […]
DIRTY THIRTY… cool band name! I suppose the band got the idea for the band name from the fact that all members are aged over thirty. Great! The band’s members are no newcomers in the music business as all of them have a long musical background. Tomohiro and Satoru for example played in a great […]
Hmmm, I will divide this review – as usual – into two dimensions. That is, a descriptive and a prescriptive element. DESENSITISED are from the Netherlands and play sort of old school, underground, down-tuned Death Metal with some Hardcore elements in the sound. The songs are rather mediocre, no interesting twists – just elemental speed-attacks […]
This is a rather typical release for all crazy die hard underground lunatics: a split CD that features live recordings of Japan’s SABBAT and Germany’s DESASTER (both very dedicated acts for many years), with a black and white packaging and (of course) limited to 666 handnumbered copies. Unlike many of these type of releases, this […]
