PRIMAL is a one man Black Metal machine from Warsaw, Poland. PrimalOne, one and solely member of the band has been steadily releasing material since 2008. “Obłęd” (Madness) is his 2012 album, released by The End Of Time Records. Since PrimalOne has total control of both, the musical aspect and lyrical content, his orthodox approach […]
There seems to be an endless reservoir of moronic band names. What the hell went wrong? Sex-crazed warmongers? Dr. Freud (the most famous couch doctor in history) would have been happy analyzing the three guys from Italy. The band labels its style as Perverted Extreme Metal and the reason for founding the band back in […]
Always, wherever there is light, also darkness can be found, somewhere. In Poland, the dark forces have been suppressed by the catholic church and their immense power for a long time, but some dark forces started to break these boundaries in the early 90s and smoothed the way for a second generation of dark Metal […]
A re-release of a very old compilation recording of the Dutch band GOD DETHRONED. Including demo songs, songs from compilations and live tracks. I like some albums by this band, and in fact they have been quite consistent in their discography, but to tell you the truth, only if you are a completist of the […]
So Vic Records is digging again! Exhuming old Death Metal bands, to bring the sounds to a new generation or to a generation that wants to revive again those golden years. MORTHRA was a Death Metal band from the Netherlands, that was sounding like a mixture between a less brutal CANNIBAL CORPSE, less satanic DEICIDE, […]
I know this band. Yes, I have their debut CD and I think a 7” EP somewhere… a band I thought was long dead. And much to my surprise this is not a new album, but these are anyway new recordings of old songs. A move that seems a bit strange if you ask me, […]
The Italian five piece DEGENERGATE already exists since the year 2002, yet their discography is very overseeable. Up to now, they only released the promo EP “The End Has Just Begun" independently in 2005. But after nearly a dozen years of existence, the Romans finally have their first full-length out. It’s called “Chronicles Of The […]
Imagine a mix of, let’s say, NEVERMORE and CANNIBAL CORPSE (Corpsegrinder era) with a huge dose of quality and own input. Sounds promising?! After five tracks in a row none of the built tension was lost and I was hungry for more. The Heavy Metal melodies are mixed with brutal outbursts in a perfectly dosed […]
The Swedish scene owes an awful lot to Chris Reifert and his efforts in AUTOPSY and ABSCESS. There wouldn’t have been much of a scene without him. But there is a danger in attributing the Swedes’ musical prowess to one band, or a group of bands because it detracts from their highly original songwriting. SINNERS […]
So it seems this is already the 4th full-length album by SINNERS BURN which started as a drunken project by PAGANIZER’s "Deadbanger" line-up back in 2007 and went on to become its own entity. The line-up has been changing on every release ever since and I haven’t heard the previous albums, but if they are […]
