"Deadtime Stories" seems to be the debut full-length if we can believe the lines of the (famous) promo-sheet(s) of Black Attakk! Started as a Gothic / Death Metal Band, they changed their music to a more Industrial sounding one. After one demo and a mini-album we now can listen to "Deadtime Stories". Announced as a […]
This CD gives rise to a particular question: do really all obscure demos from the old times need to be re-released? HELLNOMORF from Mexico were around through the 1990s, released two demos and are rumored to have recorded a full-length album. But they never became known. Listening to the album here, that features both of […]
While some might yawn at the fact CANNIBAL CORPSE put out another opus, the consistent quality of their releases is exactly the cause why my anticipation and excitement for some new material is constantly very high and if you are equally inclined, you are in for a goddamn treat: marking the US Death Metal legend’s […]
This compilation took a long time, according to the info. The idea was already born in the old millennium, but it wasn’t finally realized and finished until Millennial Visions put this 12” vinyl EP out now. What’s the idea of “Fryslân”? It was intended to give an overview on Black Metal from Frisia, a historical […]
OK, so this gory show has starring two bands and the first are DOSSIER NEGRO from Spain with their side of the split titled "The Pungent Stench Of Witchcraft". Very cool and promising already, right? Things start to roll with a D-Beat and meaty riffs accompanied by gory vocals in the vein of GRUESOME STUFF […]
Before listening to LELAHELL’s debut album "Al Insane... The (Re)Birth of Abderrahmane", courtesy of Horror Pain Gore Death Productions, I did some research. This Death Metal power trio hails from Algeria. I never before had to listen to any band from that country. Past this "exotic" feature, I was pleasantly surprised. LELAHALL incorporates to their […]
What stood out with this 6-track EP is that, compared to their two full-lengths "Doomscope” and "Dystopics”, it all sounds more accessible (not that these two were inaudible!). The clean production makes it all more balanced and reveals even the smallest detail. It reminded of CADAVER ("…In Pains”) which was a complete different chapter than […]
CONSIDERED DEAD are a fresh new band from Brazil, that’s named after an album from classic techno Death Metal heroes GORGUTS. So, somehow this raises certain expectations of how this band might sound on their first effort. But let’s start from the beginning, that is two years ago. Merited VIOLATOR members Batera (drums) and Capaça […]
NUM SKULL never gained the popularity they could have, but now it’s too late to judge or wonder, if it’s the fault of the band members, if it’s because of wrong decisions, if the band really had bad luck, or if they simply weren’t interested in a more serious career. While the two studio albums […]
I’ve been enjoying some Mexican bands through out time: CENOTAPH, THE CHASM, SHUB-NIGGURATH, DISGORGE, DEMONIZED, HACAVITZ, DOMAIN, RAVAGER and now the time has come to get ZOMBIEFICATION under my skin, with their third full-length. Guess I’ve been hiding under a rock, as I had not gotten around to check these guys out until now. The […]
