We all need a bit (or lots) of adrenaline once in a while (or a daily dose), even in the extreme music genres such as Grindcore, brutal Metal, etc, you can grow tired of the same drumming pattern, guitar distortion and song structures so you start looking at other extreme labels that will pump your […]
Again, if the name of the band, the cover art and the titles do not tell what music we are dealing with, you are reading the wrong site. Otherwise, then you know that the band is a Pagan Metal band, and coming from the Ukraine. There is a slight Black Metal touch here and there […]
Humm a Black Metal band that turns completely into a morbid Death Metal band. Interesting. And then, the band comes from China. More interesting. And it is a one man band. Well, styles aside, this sounds a lot like the more brutal sounds of the Swedish Death Metal scene form the early 90s, in the […]
This is already the third album from this one man band of melodic and melancholic Black Metal from Poland. And it is actually quite interesting. Yes, it does have melody, but it is used with judgement and to emphasize the music. I am not completely sure, but it seems all the instruments are played by […]
When I receive a recording of a band that nowadays is labeled as Thrash Metal, well, I usually end up being disappointed. Why? Well, to an old bastard like me, no matter which obscure band of the 80s the band tries to emulate, I will detect it. And most of the bands try to copy […]
ITNUVETH is a two piece Black Metal band from Spain. Interesting enough, they do have a very strong Heavy Metal approach, as well as some elements that might qualify them as Pagan Metal. Truth is that the Heavy Metal part is quite strong here and even if I am sure they are using a drum […]
Fans of VENOM’s albums with Tony "Demolition Man" Dolan will surely appreciate this band. M:PIRE OF EVIL is the partnership between Mantas and Tony, both formerly of VENOM (hopefully you knew that already :P) and it’s great. "Hell To The Holy" is the band’s first full-length album, and "Creatures Of The Black" (included as a bonus disc in […]
Well, I think most of you reading this might already know that M:PIRE OF EVIL is the band of the two VENOM veterans Mantas and Demolition Man, the latter also of ATOMKRAFT fame. These guys were the creative force behind the band when Cronos wasn’t in VENOM, so it’s no wonder that they already re-recorded […]
Soulskinner from Athens, Greece are already active since 2000 and have released their third full-length via Xtreem Music in late 2014. After a short intro, the band starts with the first tunes and immediately remind me of mighty BOLT THROWER, so the direction of the band is clear. Old school Death Metal, which nowadays is […]
It’s pretty much common in artistic fantasy lands, to circle sanctuaries counterclockwise. The pope and his entire gang does it and millions of Mohammed’s fellows, at the Kaaba do so. It seems to be one kind of an extraordinary auspicious holy law. For at least a few billion people. Though I am not that much […]
