DESULTORY from Sweden was one of the bands, who started out by the end of the 80s as a classic Death Metal outfit in the vein of ENTOMBED, DISMEMBER etc., but soon found their own sound within these trademarks and after three demos and a compilation release on the classic label House of Kicks they […]
I have still failed to visit the German Black Forest area for the last few years so why not make this journey instead in an aural form? "Black Forest" is the debut album by Tokyo based Death / Thrashers DEATH HORN who were created back in 2012. I don’t have that much information about these […]
Well, we all know that Sweden has a lot more to offer than Death Metal. So, how about some old fashioned Thrash Metal? ENTRENCH from Västerås are already around for nearly ten years, released some demos and a first full-length, “Inevitable Decay”, in 2011. Since then, original drummer Victor Holmström (who sadly passed away before […]
Sometimes prejudice takes over, and paints a certain picture of something uncertain. I had never heard about WHORE OF BETHLEHEM, until I saw their name in a mail in my inbox. I thought to myself: "Well, yet a lo-fi primitive three riff Black Metal band (not that, that is all bad, all the time though)". […]
After two demos and a great debut album, this Dutch Death Metal power trio has just released a 7" EP with two new songs, entitled "The View From My Ivory Tower". And all I can say is that, even with the short time they have been together as a band (formed in 2010), their material […]
The long lasting German outfit POSTMORTEM is one of those bands that have been lingering around in the underground for far too long without its deserved recognition. These guys have a career starting in 1991 and spawning 6 full-length albums, including their latest "The Bowls Of Wrath". Their style has more or less remained in […]
Although the band was founded back in 2001 and "Casting Ruin" is already the fourth full-length I never took notice of this trio from the United States Of America. But since none of their previous albums are reviewed on the VOICES website I guess most Death Metal lunatics do not know the band either. But […]
Although formed just in 2012, many members of this old school Speed / Thrash Metal band had already some experience form other entities. The very old school cover art, which reminds me of some old Wild Rags Records covers, fits quite with the music of this CD that is actually a compilation of their only […]
I have been following the sick and twisted activities of the Devil himself since the release of their debut album in 2002. But things have changed quite a lot lately. This band which is the brainchild of PAGAN RITES and AUTOPSY TORMENT member (and formerly of TRISTITIA) started as a Heavy Metal band with Black […]
Formed in 2004, after 10 years this band from New Zealand releases their debut album, and for once, the time taken to shape this material was the right one after doing the necessary demos and EPs. The band plays in a very aggressive form of Death / Thrash / Black Metal which recalls a lot […]
