What can you expect when a band delivers 39 tracks in a little bit more than 40 minutes? Yes, nothing else than relentless Grindcore. These Brazilian sickos grind your skull to dust. The CD-R (which is actually released on tape) features 29 tracks of the "Sessão Descarrego" album (2004) plus the "Miseravel" demo from 2003 […]
Another slab of great underground Metal presented by Nihilistic Holocaust is what we have here. All three bands play heavy and fast Death Metal which owes to both the North American variety akin to newer MORBID ANGEL as well as Brazilian Speed Death Metal. The first five songs are taken from the demo 2005 of […]
"Listen to this fuckin’ piece of total death at the maximum volume or die!!!!!!" – is printed in the Portuguese language on the backside of this split 10" EP. What a great packed release, what a beautiful gatefold sleeve, professional from the beginning to the end! Next is the most important information: this release is […]
This is a very interesting (and strictly limited to 1.000 hand numbered copies) appetizer for two upcoming albums on Lupus Lounge Records. Two German bands, HELRUNAR and NACHTMAHR, both definitely deeply rooted in the Black Metal genre, totally raw yet very matured sounding and in a way also a little avantgarde! HELRUNAR is featured with […]
By now everyone into old school Thrash should’ve heard about the HIRAX reunion as Katon and the guys seem to be more motivated and dedicated than ever before nowadays, promoting themselves like crazy! Their first new musical sign was the "El Diablo Negro" EP, which Laurent already reviewed when it was issued as a 7" […]
"Not Dead Yet" is not a new HIRAX album, but a re-release of the first two classic HIRAX albums "Raging Violence" (from 1985, tracks 1-14) and 1986’s follow-up "Hate, Fear And Power" (tracks 15 – 22) plus ‘Demon’s Evil Forces’ as a bonus live (yet rather bootleg type) video clip from the 80s. When "Raging […]
NWOBHM, er, I mean NWOFHM lives! That’s the New Wave of Finnish Heavy Metal, of course. HEATHEN HOOF is one of the strangest bands I’ve heard in a while. They worship the NWOBHM scene, specifically bands like BLITZKRIEG, CLOVEN HOOF (hmmm), WITCHFYNDE, SATAN, AVENGER… and IRON MAIDEN (with Paul, they point out). I suppose it’s […]
Formed back in 2004, this is the second album of this German band. All of their lyrics and album titles on their releases are done in German, giving them an approach to an essence usually found in Eastern European countries. Musically speaking, they are a blackened Death Metal band, and the lyrics are more of […]
This is a fine gem for all Dan Swanö fans that are collecting more or less everything from him. This nicely packed 7" EP includes two unreleased songs, one from each band, both recorded and offering the perfect Unisound Studio sound. The INFESTDEAD song included here is called ‘Dead Earth’ and was recorded back in […]
Ok, so it’s not the most happening Death Metal album. But rather than trying to be symphonic Death Metal, brutal Death Metal, true Death Metal, Egyptian Death Metal, European or American Death Metal, Incantation has always played Death Metal… and that’s basically it. Of course the band has developed speaking of musical skills, but this […]
