It’s not really Metal that takes up the headlines in conventional medias these days when speaking of Baltimore, though when writing for a publication that is painted by visions from the dark side, conventionalism is not always the main issue. EXTERMINATION ANGEL is hailing from mentioned city in Maryland, USA, a band name which has […]
Everybody reading these pages on a regular basis should know by now that Rogga Johansson is a guy running a bazillion bands and projects with lots of big names and legends in the Death Metal scene. To list just the most prominent of these bands would already go beyond the constrains of this review. One […]
ERED from Spain already convinced me with their last promo CD but what they deliver with this new MCD called "Incarnated Horror" is simply amazing. The included 5 songs ERED are presenting us are melodic Black / Death Metal songs in the vein of NECROPHOBIC to compare it to at least one band. It’s tough […]
Blackened Death Metal is a genre that expanded a lot in the last 10 years due to some well known acts that took the genre to an “accessible” level (BEHEMOTH…), but there are still bands mixing these 2 genres to create an obscure and brutal assault of punishing music.

Catalonian horde FOSCOR are no newcomers to the scene and have released their fourth output "Those Horrors Wither" already in late November 2014, but the good thing in Metal is, that music never grows old.

During the last years, there have been some pretty promising acts from Hungary. SVOID and the mighty GRAVE CRUSHER blew up some dust in my flat, despite the fact that they are pretty different, stylistically. Now VEÉR from Budapest are trying to join these lines with their second album “27”. They released their debut “The […]
Are you ready for an overdose of good old fucking Death Metal? Yes, then this infernal assault might pulverize your cranium. Rising from the darkest abyss of the Basque country BLOODY BROTHERHOOD takes you back in time where our beloved style of Metal reigned supreme. "Ritual Of Blood" is the trio’s debut album (a demo […]
One of the best Japanese Death Metal outfits ever is back with a vengeance. "Retributive Justice" marks already the third effort by this Saitama based horde and the album is jam-packed with sheer musical brilliance. GOTSU TOTSU KOTSU comes up with the right ballance between new and old school Metal Of Death with a slight […]
