Well, this is truly a monumental album as its title already suggests. The French extreme Black Metal band DEATHSPELL OMEGA is active since the mid-90s and walked upon raw, DARKTHRONE-inspired Black Metal paths on their previous releases, but with "Si Monumentum Requires Cicumspice" the definition of DEATHSPELL OMEGA’s sound has to be rewritten! Of course […]
I’m not quite sure what this is really supposed to be – a demo, or an advance tape – but considering the fact that next to its title, "Disk III" is also mentioned on the cover, I suppose it’s the latter… which makes things even worse…! All those of you who tend to buy releases […]
From the land of Peter Jackson come the new conquerors; gas mask-clad DAWN OF AZAZEL, a blistering kiwi answer to OZ’s hyper Speed Metal masters STARGAZER. Apart from a major screw-up by the pressing plant in sealing the full color sleeve and entombing the lyrics and thanks list inside, the packaging is first rate; and […]
Additionally to their debut full-length on Threeman Recordings, there’s also two vinyl 7"es available from Sweden’s old school horde DAMNATION. The first one, "Divine Darkness", features the band’s demo of the same name from 1994. In case you missed out on it back when it originally came out (or were simply too lazy to get […]
Even though this fourpiece from northern Germany still looks rather young, they already manage to deliver the right feeling in their music pretty good. This four song promotional CD-R is the follow up to another mini CD entitled "Tot", which I unfortunately never got to hear. So judging DAKRYON by this new material exclusively they […]
Wow, this is what I call value for money, two CDs filled up to the rim with delicious goregies of tasty Gore Death / Grind inspired by CARCASS, IMPETIGO, BLOOD FREAK, AUTOPSY… What the hell, I guess everybody knows what EXHUMED is about, right? This collection of their EP material, demos, splits, cover versions, Japan […]
Attention boys and girl, we are talking about something really special here! What do you think if someone talks about Death Metal from Sweden from the early 90s? For sure you’ll think about ENTOMBED and ENTOMBED-clones, Sunlight sound and shredding guitars. I have to admit, you are right and I usually think the same, but […]
I really gotta thank INGURGITATING OBLIVION’s Ulli for introducing me to the mighty ERODED! This German two-piece musically exactly continues on where early GRAVE, FUNEBRE, TRAUMATIC, MACABRE END, KAAMOS, EXCRUCIATE, DEMIGOD, CREMATORY (SWE) or CARNAGE (among others) left off in their heydays! Haven’t heard a band of this kind in Germany ever since FLESHCRAWL. But […]
The Dutch Death Metal scene is definetly back on the map, after the success of bands such as SEVERE TORTURE, GOD DETHRONED, CENTURIAN and others. The Dutch scene has put its stamp on the way too crowded Death Metal scene. Now we have seemed to found a new band, EXPOSING INNARDS. Their 3 track promo […]
I could imagine myself sitting at the beach in Recife enjoying a cold beer right now, instead of sitting in grey Scandinavia, where summer almost never drops by, not for real at least. A few beers in the sun it usually provides, though not as many as the summer in Recife I reckon. Why all […]
