An outstanding record is mostly recognized by its detailed and distinctive spaces. Its way of various entertaining moments and possibilities to establish a broad range of different benchmarks and experiences. For example you take a walk in the woods and you are able to accentuate your impressions with the music of that record. Or reading […]
The usual deadline for a VFTD review is seven days, but no matter how often you listen to this release, one week is not enough time to recognize all details. I have been listening to "Gateway To The Antisphere" a dozen times by now and just getting started to realize what kind of musical monument […]
Just a few months ago, the resurrected English Black Metal band AVULSION RUPTURE released their comeback EP “Blasphemous Resurrection” in digital form. The now one man project did a quite unexpected re-start, since they were a real underground act when they were around for the first time, and I mean the real underground. Paul Bobrucki, […]
German Death Metal act DISCREATION passed me by in their rather long existence. Until they crossed my way during my visits on Facebook. A great cover artwork by Juanjo Castellano plus the fact that they’re signed to F.D.A. Records now wetted my appetite, since Rico’s taste in music is very often in accord with mine. […]
Don’t let the title fool you as there’s lots of stuff going on, but everything is thought out and meticulous; sounds like chaos, yes! Definitely! But there is structure and sapience put into each song of this. Very SLAYER, but faster, inspired international punishing conspiracy between Texas and Germany band, made up of ex and […]
This is the debut full-length of this Russian DISSECTOR, a band formed in 1992 under the monicker Дистимия that was changed to this more accessible one. In the past they released, if my info is correct, three EPs called ”Cry For Me” (2007), ”Subhuman” (2014) and ”An Angel With No Home” (2015). Also two compilations […]
Unless you have been living in a cave, and that cave has no Wi-Fi connection, you should know that for strange reasons mosh Thrash / Speed Metal suddenly became the “thing” to play and joy for some Metallers. Basically it got a new air by a few bands that were playing the style since the […]
As the observing reader may has noticed the album is released by Ván Records, which is definitely a sign of quality. The releases by Ván Records always are some kind of special, the people running this label unquestionable have a good taste regarding extraordinary music. So what makes a German label releasing an album by […]
FURIA are a fairly recent Polish Black Metal band. Their debut was released in 2007, and with nothing else from them until now, this MCD on Pagan Records is the first anyone has heard of them in a good while. Like TAAKE, FURIA write long, epic songs with more than a little folk music intermixed […]
Another EP from this Polish sophisticated Black Metal talent. After their amazing "Grudzien Za Grudniem" they released an EP called "Huta Laura / Katowice / Królewska Huta", and here’s already the next one. This EP features one track ‘Halny’ which lasts almost 20 minutes. Starting quite mellow, you’re launched into space immediately. Not dark, but […]
