SARCÓFAGO needs no introduction, but for those of you unfamiliar with their material after 1991’s "The Laws Of Scourge", "Hate", released in 1994, is the first full-length they did after "Scourge…" (not counting the "Crush, Kill, Destroy" EP in 1992). "Hate" marks the beginning of SARCÓFAGO’s experiments with drum machines, those mechanized leeches of soul. […]
ANARCHOS is a young Dutch Death Metal band, formed in 2010, featuring members from BURNING HATRED and ETERNAL SOLSTICE and others. This EP is their first, released on Vic Records in February 2014, and features 5 tracks that drip from old school Death Metal. Their style made me think of a mix between (old) GOREFEST, […]
This seems to be the album almost unanimously brushed aside for SARCÓFAGO, and it was the last full-length they recorded. At first it seems the album is off to an alright start with the title track, ‘The Worst’. Although again using a drum machine as with the previous album, ‘Hate’, when programmed well drum machines […]
Swedish Black Metal with a bit of Thrash and even 80s Punk mixed to it is always a delightful taste. This duo surely remembers and pays tribute to early BATHORY and VENOM, but also these guys can’t deny their heritage of early Swedish Hardcore / Punk acts such as ANTI CIMEX and MOB 47. This […]
After two EPs and two singles HATEFULMURDER are now unleashing their debut album called "No Peace". A frightening title, but it fits perfectly. If you are into extreme Metal you will definitely find no peace while listening to this output by the four guys from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is a very impressing debut, […]
It’s more than 30 years ago, 1984 to be precise, that a bunch of real teenagers in Belo Horizonte in Brazil started to make some noise that was influenced by all extreme music of the time, be it Black Metal, Thrash Metal or rude Hardcore Punk. These kids called their band SEPULTURA. The singer of […]
Sixth album of this Brazilian Deathrash squad. I think I have an album or two somewhere around, and by what I can remember, this is definitely their best work. Maybe the closes comparison will be one with the more Death Metal SEPULTURA with a few touches of OBITUARY. Do not be fooled by the comic […]
Sometimes good things happen! For example: the Brazilian pioneering Metal label Cogumelo has now an official licensee from the USA. Greyhaze are here to bring back the world the old Brazilian Metal heroes. And as a start, they re-released all the stuff from Belo Horizontes overlooked Black Thrash monsters SARCÓFAGO. Well, to stay true to […]
The name SEXTRASH was unknown to me and I thought this is a new release. Some awesome piece of high-speed Thrash Metal, with a slight touch of Black Metal, perfectly catching the spirit of the mid / late 1980s. I was happy about a band playing 2015 like it was 1985. Sometimes the output made […]
I have always wondered why this album get so overlooked through all the history. Maybe it is because back in the day, it didn’t have a proper distribution and the band itself never cared about playing live. Thing is that, this is one of the most important Black Metal albums of all time, period. This […]
