As the original release of this album was already reviewed by Mario somewhere else on these pages, and I more or less agree with what he wrote, I won’t waste too much of your (probably rather limited) time on the musical side of this re-release anymore. Just let me tell you that I’m heavily impressed […]
Hell! I am very pleased to review this demo, ‘cos believe me, it’s something really excellent. I didn’t know that Norway could surprise me anymore with its undergound bands, but here I must admit that thanks to GHOUL CULT the real Metal spirit is not totally dead in this shitty country (Hey Nathaniel – c’mon […]
Holy shit, there are some sad news. GHOUL CULT is gonna split after the recording of their third demo!!!! Shit! But hopefully we still have their second demo "Night Of A Thousand Ghouls" for our greatest necro pleasure! The sound on this demo is very different than on their previous one called "Initiation To The […]
This is really a cool idea – a double 7" EP featuring all pre – "Necrology" GENERAL SURGERY recordings! In particular you’ll get the band’s "Erosive Offals" debut demo, the way better "Pestiferous Anthropopha" follow-up and the (surprisingly good sounding) "Internecine Prurience" 6 track rehearsal (all of them from 1990). In case you were still […]
What can you expect when a band delivers 39 tracks in a little bit more than 40 minutes? Yes, nothing else than relentless Grindcore. These Brazilian sickos grind your skull to dust. The CD-R (which is actually released on tape) features 29 tracks of the "Sessão Descarrego" album (2004) plus the "Miseravel" demo from 2003 […]
Another slab of great underground Metal presented by Nihilistic Holocaust is what we have here. All three bands play heavy and fast Death Metal which owes to both the North American variety akin to newer MORBID ANGEL as well as Brazilian Speed Death Metal. The first five songs are taken from the demo 2005 of […]
"Listen to this fuckin’ piece of total death at the maximum volume or die!!!!!!" – is printed in the Portuguese language on the backside of this split 10" EP. What a great packed release, what a beautiful gatefold sleeve, professional from the beginning to the end! Next is the most important information: this release is […]
This is a very interesting (and strictly limited to 1.000 hand numbered copies) appetizer for two upcoming albums on Lupus Lounge Records. Two German bands, HELRUNAR and NACHTMAHR, both definitely deeply rooted in the Black Metal genre, totally raw yet very matured sounding and in a way also a little avantgarde! HELRUNAR is featured with […]
By now everyone into old school Thrash should’ve heard about the HIRAX reunion as Katon and the guys seem to be more motivated and dedicated than ever before nowadays, promoting themselves like crazy! Their first new musical sign was the "El Diablo Negro" EP, which Laurent already reviewed when it was issued as a 7" […]
"Not Dead Yet" is not a new HIRAX album, but a re-release of the first two classic HIRAX albums "Raging Violence" (from 1985, tracks 1-14) and 1986’s follow-up "Hate, Fear And Power" (tracks 15 – 22) plus ‘Demon’s Evil Forces’ as a bonus live (yet rather bootleg type) video clip from the 80s. When "Raging […]
