The frontcover art was enlarged and turned out a bit darker, while the tracklist on the CD’s backside was centered (and it is better readable now). The foldout booklet features all lyrics as well as a bandpicture and a big silhouette type pic of the band on its flipside. The bronze style color and thanxlist […]
I have stopped counting how often this Death Metal milestone was re-released over the years in various different formats… Fact is that this re-issue here is pretty much superfluous and a bit annoying as there’s no difference at all in the audio part. The packaging is the same as the one used for the remastered […]
MORBID ANGEL can still, despite their recent shortcomings, never fail to elicit a spirited cheer within the Metal underground. They single-handedly crafted some of the deadliest, most sinister riffs in American Metal history. For that, they are forever deserving of the utmost respect. "Blessed Are The Sick" was their second album, the "B" album – […]
One of Germany’s finest Black Metal bands with their final stroke: this mini-album was originally supposed to be released as a split LP with NARGAROTH but as this is not going to happen (NARGAROTH and Sombre Records blame the other party), and the vinyl version will probably not be out before the end of 2003, […]
On their third album Birmingham’s MISTRESS offer a rawly sounding mix of early 90s Death Metal, Crustpunk, Grind- and Sludgecore. MISTRESS make an effort to keep all ten songs diverse by varying forceful mid- and uptempo as well as blastbeats. The production itself is flawless, and both instruments and vocals come crashing on your ears. […]
Unholy, infernal bringers of hate! Ultra-cult label D.O.G. has exhumed what is no doubt their best release to date with this three-song vinyl holocaust culled from MALFEITOR’s 1987 demo. ‘Diabolic Execution’, ‘Bringer Of Hate’ and ‘Dark Funeral’ comprise the classic Thrash attack guaranteed to leave your neck sore and ears bleeding. Combining perfectly the abyssic […]
OUTRE is a quite new Black Metal entity hailing from Poland, and after an EP and a split release with THAW in 2013, the lads are now ready with their first full-length album, for our listening displeasure. I have it with Black Metal like with most Metal these days, there aren’t many bands or new […]
This young band from the States is one to keep an eye on, because their demo ”An Oath Of Blood” is a wonderful vision of AUTOPSY onslaught! What will draw your attention immediately is the raw and heavy production that resembles a rehearsal of FUNEBRARUM or CORPSESSED. Members are still present or former members in […]
I think there’s no one out there, who expects US-Cult-Deathers NUNSLAUGHTER to change in any way. The masters of primitive old-school Death Metal (a la MASSACRE in the good old demo days) simply create another couple of cool, blasphemous Death Metal songs after another and do not improve or get worse. This new version of […]
After releasing their recommendable debut "Diabolical Bloodshed" in 1999 NOMINON more or less disappeared and it took them 4 years to release another "sign of life", namely the "Blaspheming The Dead" EP, which was released on the Greek Nuclear Winter label in 2003. NOMINON finally are back with their individual brand of Swedish old school […]
