Brazilian outfit TORTURE SQUAD has been releasing albums constantly since their 1998 debut "Shivering". Their brand of Thrash Metal came right at the time when the genre had its "second coming", at the beginning of the 21st Century. While the band has been in constant development, the production throughout their career has suffered ups and […]
Get ready for a journey back in time, a journey into the forgotten history of European Thrash Metal. The Danes FURIOUS TRAUMA were around for roundabout a decade since their foundation in 1988, but never blew up dust. And falling into oblivion is not very pleasant, especially when there were musicians in the line-up that […]
All you fans of raw, thrashing, morbid Metal listen up, because Swedish EIDOMANTUM’s second demo might be the perfect choice for you! The sound quality is excellent, the layout is 100% old school and thus fits to the demo title. The songs are full of variation and show influences from Black / Thrash legends like […]
From time to time the gates of hell are opening and from the very depths there appears… well, at least some fine piece of vinyl like this one! After two demo-tapes this Swedish band presents us now their second 7" release. The history of EIDOMANTUM goes back to the year 1998, when the band was […]
Yet another mighty old school release ready to review, I’m talking about the FUNEBRARUM (20:05min) / INTERMENT (19:36min) split CD "Conjuration Of The Sepulchral". In brackets you can see the running time of each part. Right now it is unbelievable for me to see how many great old school sounding Death Metal recordings were released […]
Hell-Yeah, I really love the FUNEBRAUM debut CD "Beneath The Columns Of Abandoned Gods ". It’s a mighty piece of unholy early 90s Death Metal. That’s exactly what I would call Death Metal the way it was meant to be. So I was really excited when I found the Midnight Records package including this unholy […]
Just in case you have little children at home, here is the perfect release to familiarize them with Black Metal in the funniest way. Don’t worry, "Death Before Dawns" is a totally harmless album, from the cute cover artwork to the no less cute music on the CD. Imagine CRADLE OF FILTH revisited by Walt […]
On this split GRAVEWÜRM from the United States and SUICIDAL WINDS from Sweden belt out five own compsitions each (the Swedes with an additional cover from of an OZ song), celebrating the old school. If I remember correctly, GRAVEWÜRM features (or featured) an ex(?)-NUNSLAUGHTER member (don’t quote me!)… the band is obviously out to play […]
Honestly spoken, I’m not quite sure who’s supposed to buy this massive GRAVE boxset… I mean, ok – it’s a collector’s item, that is strictly limited to 2.000 numbered copies worldwide (a printed certificate with your own personal number is included) and the packaging is also pretty cool (the box itself almost looks like an […]
The album now comes with a white logo, instead of an orange one and the frontcover artwork has been inked into a dark red. The backcover looks less chaotic due to its overall darker approach and features the original booklet’s backside (also turned into a dark red). The songtitles are better readable because of this. […]
