Great demo, guys!!! Swedish Doom-Maniacs THE DOOMSDAY CULT’s first cassette release is absolutely fantastic, a professional and powerful production executed by ex-MARDUK member Devo Andersson and a wonderful layout that reminds of the Middleages and so perfectly fits to the thematic direction of “Samarithans Of Misery” – the Great Pestilence. The song material is – […]
It took them a little longer than originally planned, but it’s finally here after all – the DRILLER KILLER / VIU DRAKH split 7"! Both bands are featured with a track of their own as well as a covertune. I’m not into DRILLER KILLER’s stuff, so I won’t waste your time with my incompetent comments […]
From Bling Town, the land of Lost Wages comes DOOM SNAKE CULT. Like GOATLORD on LSD. Semi-technical but with suitably obscure production, this album was originally released by JL America back in 1993. It has a warm, mid-range thick sound with a definite psychadelic edge, making comparisons to PENTAGRAM inevitable. The Black Metal-ish vocals seem […]
Friends of raw and primitive sounds should already be familiar with Swedish old school maniac DEVIL LEE ROT and his projects PAGAN RITES and AUTOPSY TORMENT. All three acts have certain parallels to old BATHORY with the single difference that PAGAN RITES add a certain MAYHEM – touch and darker feel to this basic concept, […]
Hot on the heels of "Phoenix Rising" comes a new 2 tracker EP from DESTROYER 666. Boasting a production similar to that of "Unchain The Wolves", this is something of a step back in some ways. The sound is heavy and very, very raw and the whole thing reminds me a little of "Persecution Mania" […]
DESPISE may be one of the oldest Thrash Metal bands from Greece (formed in 1986), but they have definitely not been very busy in terms of recording and releasing material. Besides their 1993 demo "State Of Brutality" and some sampler contributions, they have not managed to record a longplayer up to now. But their plans […]
Kam "The Tyrant" Lee, THE godfather of Death Metal, has finally returned to the scene with his first musical sign of life since MASSACRE’s 1996’s infamous "Promise" album and the DESTRUCTION cover that he recorded with KAULDRON a couple of years later for the Dwell Records compilation "Armageddon: The Tribute To Destruction". His new musical […]
I always had a huge impression of the Mexican Death Metal. Bands like SHUB NIGGURATH, CENOTAPH, THE CHASM as well as newer bands such as NECCROCULTUS were not only copycats of big names in the Death Metal scene, they were really something special and talking especially about SHUB NIGGURATH and CENOTAPH I listen pretty regular […]
Unlike a lot of useless re-issues that are circulating at the moment, here’s finally some that really do make sense, as most of the classic DEMON albums are extremely hard to find these days. The Swedish label Record Heaven Music finally went for the opportunity and re-issued the band’s first three outputs on CD recently. […]
This is a re-release of DEICIDE’s "Scars Of The Crucifix" that originally saw the light of day in 2004. The CD comes in an additional slip case and also features a bonus DVD that offers a previously unreleased 12 track live show (40:37min) as well as the "Behind The Scars" documentary (35:30min) that was already […]
