Chiloe is a big island in the southern corner of Chile. It also is a place fulfilled with old traditions, legends, mythological creatures, wizards, etc. A real magical and beautiful land. And it is also the land of a die hard Metal scene with one of the best crowds in this country and the home […]
From the depths of the Chilean abyss arrives this unholy cult named UGGAE COMMAND, unleashing upon mankind a six song manifesto of pure darkness, compressed on mid paced Death / Black Metal in the vein of the old school Finish Death Metal cult (FUNEBRE, DEMILICH, DEMIGOD, DISGRACE, ABHORRENCE) mixed with some obscure American sound like […]
After years of mediocre releases (the second half of the 90s – with the exception of some great bands like BEWITCHED, DOMINUS XUL and TOTTEN KORPS among others), the Chilean scene finally got back its status of the late 80s / early 90s, with bands like UNAUSSPRECHLICHEN KULTEN (Hi Curwen and Butcher), THORNAFIRE, MELEKTHAUS, DIABOLICAL MESSIAH, etc. This new […]
The Swedish old school Death Metal formula has been over exposed throughout the last decade for good in a huge quantity of cases and for bad in some cases. But this time we’re facing one the best that Sweden has exported in the last years. This five piece act has delivered an awesome debut demo […]
Do we really need re-recorded versions of Metal classics? Does one really think that a re-recorded version of a monumental song could sound better than the original? In my humble opinion both questions have to be answered with no. Well, here we have 11 re-recorded versions of songs which, without any doubt, are masterpieces of […]
With all the conflict going on in the Ukraine it distracts one from the musical exports that the country has provided us throughout the years. KHORS has been making Black Metal since the early 2000s but more importantly signed a deal with Svarga Music in 2013 to have their first 4 albums re-issued. Featuring members […]
Do you enjoy the cult classic Doom Death album "Into Darkness" by WINTER? Spain’s FAMISHGOD definitely does. This duo, consisting of Dave Rotten on vocals and a dude named Pako Deimler on everything else, play heavy and unadorned Doom Death of the purest sort. Think slow COFFINS, slow ASPHYX, "Forest Of Equilibrium" era CATHEDRAL; punctuated […]
STORMVOLD from Tenerife, Canary Islands is a two-men project born in 2012 and after two demos and a compilation tape, Xtreem Music picked all their material up and released their first two demos with some new stuff as their first real full-length in form of "Third Bestial Mutilation". The presented eight tracks are a dirty […]
This is probably the first Ukranian Metal band that crossed my path (and being aware of… my mistake). APOSTATE was formed more than twenty years ago and this is only their second full-length. ”Trapped In A Sleep” from 2010 preceded here and before that the band released a demo (”Consign To Oblivion”, 1995), an EP […]
So far, the already saturated retro Thrash market has been beaten over and over again like a dead horse. And for real fans of the style, today it’s harder than ever to find a band that plays honest music with the required attitude, so to speak. I was really surprised by "Unbearable Conditions", the debut […]
