The mighty INQUISITOR were / are one of those bands that made a big impact in the early 90s as they appeared on the Metal map at the right time when very successful acts such as MERCILESS were still putting out records, and Thrash Metal fans were moving more and more to the Death Metal […]
"All Is Silence" is a surprising and absolutely cool release at the same time. I guess most of you out there wouldn’t expect such an excellent album from that part of our globe where GAUTAMA hails from. The four piece, which is probably named after Siddhartha Gautama (aka Buddha), has its headquarters in Noumea / […]
With СТОЖАР, we have a rather long living band from the town in Yaroslavl in Central Russia. Even though they are around since 2005 and released their first (and only) demo in the year of their formation, it took the band until 2013 to release a full-length album, “Ни шагу назад”. Not much more than […]
A fast look at the album cover, and I knew something IS wrong. Metal, you see, is basically a sign of rebellion. Yes, Metal started as a somewhat doomed form of Rock / Blues music, but when it took definitive shape it was fueled with fire by Punk Rock. That is METAL. And yes, we […]
This is the second album from this one man band from Russia, and it is the case where the name of the band, the album title and the cover art is giving away a lot of information for those into Metal. Doom Metal is the word here, slow, tyrant passages, drums played at maybe 2 […]

First demo of German Black Metal band ALBTRAUM. Chival, main and only member, gets his ambitious announced by some mysterious personal biograph on his home page: “The motivation to write his own music was born for a simple reason: Other artists music, would in most cases, not fulfill the personal expectations, in case of lyrics, […]
With HUMAN WASTE we have a new band from Aachen, Germany, right from the border triangle to Belgium and the Netherlands. But these youngsters might not have done the most clever choice with their band name, since there are and were other bands of that name, one active from Italy and two defunct from Germany […]
Spawned from the never-ending chasm of Chilean Death Metal substratum TRIMEGISTO are presenting two studio songs plus one live track. Since this release is self-financed there is no vinyl or CD, just a simple CD-R. Hopefully some respectable label takes care and maybe, maybe there will be a 7". Because the music needs no hiding […]
This eighth compilation in the series that usually contains some pretty cool underground as well as wellknown bands is a strange one. It presents a mix of diverse artists who represent different genres. You’ll get Rock in all forms, like ELEPHANT (Brazil) with their mix of Stoner Rock and Göteborg riffing, SECONDS TO END (New […]
