I’ve been aware of HEREZA for a bit now, mainly because of the cover artwork for the “Death Metal Drunks” album. It reminded me of another fave album cover of mine from the Thrash band THRASHWALL. At the time I enjoyed bits and pieces of the earlier output, but one nagging thought I kept having […]
CALCINED from Switzerland was formed back in 2008. Their debut demo, “4th Degree Burns”, was released in 2009 and followed on by an EP and split. These Swiss maniacs didn’t rest for long and delivered their impressive debut full-length “Tormenting Attractions” in 2015, followed up by “Discipline” in 2018. They rapidly developed their sound by […]
There’s nothing like discovering a band that grabs your attention right from the first track. That’s exactly what happened to me with BREEDING CHAOS’s debut album “Distant Planets”. From the moment the opening track ‘Distant Planets’ begins, with that guitar, I knew I was in for an intense ride. The band plays melodic Death Metal […]
From the depths of Colombia’s underground Death Metal scene emerges the band EDICTUM with their bone-crushing opus “Of Sickness, Agony and Death” from 2023. This 10-track assault is a testament to the enduring power of old school Death Metal, mixed with the typical South American ferocity. From the moment the first track erupts, the beatiful […]
Anubi Metal commando! FYRAUN is a Singaporean band founded by guitarist Fyraun, from whose name the band’s moniker is also taken. The EP “The Birth Of Vengeance” is their first studio effort, although some of the members had already been active in projects in the underground scene for years. The concept of the physical format […]
Finally I had the time to sit down and listen to MAAT’s latest release several times in a row. Active since 2009, they put out their debut EP in 2010 and their debut album in 2014. Then came their sophomore album in 2017. And after a seven year silence, we get “From Origin To Decay”. […]
Are you a BOLT THROWER fan? Check INFERN out, thank you! Well, I could’ve just ended the review with that single question and answer and it would’ve made absolute sense. INFERN from Brittany, France are an absolute delight with their debut full-length “Turn Of The Tide”. I was not expecting this at all! I hadn’t […]
After a lengthy eight year break Canada’s SIG:AR:TYR have returned with their latest opus entitled “Citadel Of Stars”. The band has been around since the early 2000s, cranking out some catchy and driving Black Metal with hints of Folk music. Their leader and multi-instrumentalist Daemonskald has even added the band’s 2003 demo “The Stranger” as […]
From the southernmost area of Lower Saxony in Germany comes the four piece SERVANT that consists of four guys who are also active in UNDER THE NIGHT SKY. Unlike their other band, the guys are really active in SERVANT, as their latest offering “Death Devil Magick” is their third album in three years. Musically, SERVANT […]
Upon first viewing the band and their stage attire, you may be forgiven to thinking “oh this is the band GAEREA”, or maybe even MGLA. So with saying that, there lies part of my issues with the band. You see, the imagery of the band is very similiar to the aforementioned groups, even UADA comes […]
