In order to celebrate “A Decade Of Evil Blasphemy”, NIFELHEIM released this 7″ with 2 songs: the title track is taken from the “Unholy Death” demo, whereas this particular version of ‘The Devastation’ is a previously unreleased one! Proudly NIFELHEIM point out: “worst possible sound quality guaranteed” and they’re right! Consequently, this 7″ is for […]
Whoever digs the Swedish unholy trinity of violent Black / Thrash / Heavy Metal should get this piece of vinyl as soon as possible!!! To celebrate the infernal existence of the Gothenburg warriors of Metal exclusive previously unreleased demo recordings and live tracks were unearthed and since they are of really good sound quality "MCMXC […]
It’s somewhat hard to believe that 20 years have passed since the release of this record… Little did people know that in fact this particular album would change the extreme music world for long. I mean, I remember having been extremely impressed by the March and August ’86 demos that drummer / mainman Mick Harris […]
Starting off with the great title track this record shows that the band had sadly kinda run it’s course for amazing songs a la earlier penned classics like ‘Paris By Night’, ‘Full Moons Eyes’ and the epic ‘Queen Of Desire’! The guitar solos are fantastic and the vocals are as usual brilliant! But these are […]
This piece of green vinyl is already some years old but never the less – quality is what matters so it got reviewed. It was released in 2003 by the German underground zine and label German Underground Crossection (www.guc-area.de) and features the East-German Death Metal bands PURGATORY(www.purgatory666.de) and POLYMORPH (www.polymorph666.de). On the PURGATORY side you […]
When it comes to the topic "sound", I must admit that I am not a sound fetishist. The music itself is more important and accordingly, from my point of view, sometimes a harsh and rough sound fits more than some polished high-end production. But what STRIBORG are offering on this release is, even for a […]
New and upcoming label I Hate Records from Norrköping, Sweden dug out something really obscure with this excellently designed 7" containing two rare tracks of the mid-80s underground Doom band STILLBORN. Since I expect only few people to know anything about this fascinating act I’d like to give you a short overview of their career, […]
Funny, really funny. 2 weeks ago I received a package from the cool vinyl label High-Roller-Records including (amongst others) a fabulous looking gatefold double LP from Finnish Doomsters SPIRITUS MORTIS. A week later I visited Vienna together with my lady for 5 days and guess which event took place in the Metal pub Escape Metalcorner […]
Another fine gatefold LP, a split LP this time with the 2 participants SONIC RITUAL and SANCTUARY IN BLASPHEMY. Both Swedish bands, both related to the Doom Metal genre, in a way at least. SONIC RITUAL offer a mighty powerful and atmospheric carpet with great riffs in the old BLACK SABBATH vein during the Ozzy-days […]
As the German support for the "North American Black Metal Invasion Pt.I" – tour in December, SECRETS OF THE MOON played a couple of gigs in Germany and Belgium with GODLESS NORTH, INQUISITION and KRIEG. One of them, the one at the "Festung" in Bitterfeld, was recorded and now released as a limited live-tape (200 […]
