MANDIBULA is quite a mysterious entity and even in this age of information I haven’t been able to get much details about his band / project. In any case, "Sacrificial Metal Of Death" was released back in 2012 by small Portuguese label Caverna Abismal and by now it managed to land in my CD player […]
EMERGED from the Netherlands is a project, which was founded back in 2009 by Tom and Bastiaan of Doom / Death veterans PHLEBOTOMIZED, who are also active again and who really made some good music back in the 90s. So I was curious to hear, how this background could lead into an instrumental Rock project […]
A long time ago… and I mean a very long time in the early 90s (1991 to be exact). A promising band was born in Stockholm, Sweden and its name was / is THERION, and while this review is not about this band, it’s 100% associated to it, so I needed to make this statement, […]
EURYNOMOS’ "Unchained From The Crypt" marks the return of Okkulto, former vocalist for the German band DESASTER, after 13 years of silence. Aethon (axe), Nimetör (drums) and Magma (bass) complete the outfit. These guys stand for raw, no holds barred dark Heavy Metal, as they classify themselves. And I think the tag fits their music […]
After more than 30 years of extreme Metal this does not happen very often. A band name not used before and not referring to some ancient myths or other specialist fields. If you google the word APONTOKATION there are 235 different sites and as far as I overviewed they all deal with the Death Metal […]
Straight from one of my favorite European cities, the beautiful Catalan capital Barcelona, a place that has it all, great places to eat and drink, waterview, small mountains, great architechture, history and now furious Black Metal in form of EDENKAISER. This is my first encounter with this band, inspired by the Scandinavian second attack of […]
PERDITION TEMPLE from Tampa, Florida is another outfit, worshipping the good old days, when MORBID ANGEL was the leading force in satanic Death Metal worldwide. Mastermind Gene Palubicki never tried to hide his love for this pure old school style and together with his new and old companions, he delivers another piece of hellish Florida […]
The Florida based MINDSCAR are by far not a new name in Metal. They already were around at the turn of the millennium, having released a self-titled EP in 2001 before breaking up very soon afterwards. In those days, MINDSCAR were a Black Metal band, not a very good one, according to the videos that […]
Its not that easy to say something special, explaining SVARTGREN’s first full-length LP “Prazan Grob”. It is a decent Black Metal album. No doubt. But it more or less stays that way. At the beginning it feels like the album has what it takes to raise to some of those evil eastern European black masses, […]
Well, it took me some considerable time to write this review, because of their individual sound I had problems describing those two great Mexican bands presented here, but now I’ll try my best since this release really deserves your attention! The uniting force in the music of both bands is obviously THE CHASM, of which […]
