I have to admit; even as IN AETERNUM exists already since 1992 I have never heard any of their releases so far. Well, to correct me, it’s BEHEMOTH which started in 1992, but as this ominous Polish band with the same name existed before them they changed their name to IN AETERNUM. I’m not that […]
Fans of Brazilian Black / Death Metal probably already know IMPURITY from their 1993 album "The Lamb’s Fury." "Guests Of The Infernal Pit" was recorded in 1991 for the now defunct Maggot Records, and is probably one of the worst sounding 7" EPs in recent memory. For a band like IMPURITY, this is a very […]
This is the first time IMMOLATION released an MCD and in my humble opinion it’s a strange label tactic to release it nearly at the same time the new full-length came out, isn’t it? And I’m wondering why these three songs did not appear on the album. This would expand the playing time of "Shadows […]
Whose band name was better associated with Mausoleum back then than KILLER? None! Through the course of three albums, this Belgium powerhouse act forged their name into Metal history. Starting with the ’79 album "Ready For Hell" (coupled with "Wall Of Sound" here), where KILLER were nothing more than a very average Heavy Rock outfit […]
Wow, these guys really managed to impress me with this 2 track 7" EP! Never heard of KARNARIUM before, but through my "investigations" I found out that this Swedish horde already released two demos ("Demo # 1" in January 2000 and "Breaking The Manakles Of Malkuth" in November 2000) as well as a split tape […]
Kansas City based LIGEIA originally started out as NEPENTHE in the early 90s, at the time still consisting of Chris Overton (drums), Patrick Brown (guitars), Alex Blume (bass) and a vocalist named Joe. This line-up recorded a 3 song demo in 1993 ("The Conqueror Worm"), which they didn’t spread much. Shortly after the recordings Joe […]
One more seven inch from Blood Harvest Records and once again it’s of highest quality. This time I’m talking about Swedish Thrashers LETHAL and their 3-song EP called "Deliverance". This bunch of Metalheads presents us here some old school Thrash Metal with vocals a little bit comparable to the ones from Tompa from "don’t know […]
I can’t say that I like their logo, another band with the name LETHAL is active since ages and the cover as well as the lyrics are filled with clichés, nevertheless I fuckin’ like this bunch of young Swedish Thrashers. They are creating nothing new, to be honest their brand of Thrash Metal is so […]
…and now for something completely different: raw, primitive Black Metal in the BURZUM / DARKTHRONE vein. Sometimes I ask myself: why is everybody playing this style? Usually I conclude with something like: so what! As long as it’s good… MORD (side project of German Black Metallers ZORN) come up with 6 pretty long songs of […]
The frontcover features an enlarged part of the creature’s head from the "Resurrection Absurd" artwork, while the booklet’s backside has a slightly reworked version of the "Eternal Fall" cover (so the total opposite of the original booklet on which the "Eternal Fall" art is on the front and vice versa)). The individual bandmember pics from […]
