One more seven inch from Blood Harvest Records and once again it’s of highest quality. This time I’m talking about Swedish Thrashers LETHAL and their 3-song EP called "Deliverance". This bunch of Metalheads presents us here some old school Thrash Metal with vocals a little bit comparable to the ones from Tompa from "don’t know […]
I can’t say that I like their logo, another band with the name LETHAL is active since ages and the cover as well as the lyrics are filled with clichés, nevertheless I fuckin’ like this bunch of young Swedish Thrashers. They are creating nothing new, to be honest their brand of Thrash Metal is so […]
…and now for something completely different: raw, primitive Black Metal in the BURZUM / DARKTHRONE vein. Sometimes I ask myself: why is everybody playing this style? Usually I conclude with something like: so what! As long as it’s good… MORD (side project of German Black Metallers ZORN) come up with 6 pretty long songs of […]
The frontcover features an enlarged part of the creature’s head from the "Resurrection Absurd" artwork, while the booklet’s backside has a slightly reworked version of the "Eternal Fall" cover (so the total opposite of the original booklet on which the "Eternal Fall" art is on the front and vice versa)). The individual bandmember pics from […]
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 […]
