STENCH – Stench

Soulseller Records have some mighty bands in their repertoire right now and I like the way they handle all different kind of releases from regular CD releases (e.g. MAIM, THORNIUM or ALVERG), vinyl releases (e.g. the compilation "Resurrected In Festering Slime" or the re-release of the OPHTHALAMIA back catalogue on vinyl) to 7" EPs. This […]

STENCH – Venture

“The Formulas Of Death” was one killer monster of an album. No one expected it, and thus it was created and desecrated towards an audience that was not ready for its brilliance. The mixture of Black Metal, with some 70s psychodelia and a Death Metal core was something unexpected. Wait there, what band are you […]

DYING OUT FLAME – Shiva Rudrastakam

I am not sure if I have ever heard a band from Nepal, a country which is located at the feet of the highest mountain in the world and which any Metalhead will surely say that Metal must be inexistent there. But then again, Metal has no boundaries and yes, it can reach Tibet with […]

TRASCËNDENTAL – Nothingness

Coming from Spain, this band was formed back in 1991, and to be honest although I was following the scene in that country in those years, and have many releases due to tape trading and buying, this band was lost in the countless other bands from that country…until Xtreem Music and Dave Rotten decided to […]

COMMUNION – Instrumental Rehearsal

This promo is quite a strange surprise, which brought many questions to yours truly’s mind. Why making a recording of CHAINSAW tracks under COMMUNION’s moniker? Why instrumental? Is there still anyone on Earth who buys CD-Rs? Why did DeathMessiah even stop the activity of CHAINSAW and formed a much less interesting band that is COMMUNION? […]

AVULSED – Carnivoracity

Re-releases always remember me, how quickly time goes by. Twenty years after its original release on mighty Malodorous Mangled Innards Records, mastermind and vocalist Dave Rotten now re-releases this little treasure on his own lable Xtreem Music. No need to introduce AVULSED at this location at all and to speak about their leading role in […]

ELLORSITH – 1959

Caligari strikes again with another release from the crypts. The label that brought us some great, sometimes quite obscure releases in the past stays true to its belief and presents ELLORSITH to the Metal world. Not much is known about this Scottish four piece, no real line-up, no history – nothing. But it can be […]

WOUND / OBSCURE INFINITY – Souls Of Eternal Damnation

Gee, I always loved split releases… You pay for one record and get two bands, and as far as vinyl split 7”es are concerned, the songs are often exclusive songs or rare versions. In this case, we have a split 7” that should wet the appetite for the upcoming new albums from the German bands […]

THRONEUM / THE LIGHT OF THE DARK – Brotherhood In Darkness

Well I’ll try to keep it short on this one, because this tape is so boring and mediocre that it should appeal only to total THRONEUM lunatics. I don’t think that THE LIGHT OF THE DARK have that many fans. THRONEUM are a Polish underground Death Metal band, that performs middleclass old school Death Metal, […]

MANZANAR – Manzanar

MANZANAR is a German band that roamed the scene around 1997-1998, though never released anything. The only thing they left behind were a couple of rehearsal tapes, which Millenial Visions now has brought to our ears with this self-titled 7" release with MANZANAR’s 1997 rehearsal, together with a track from a 1998 rehearsal on the […]
