This is a 2nd instalment of the series "Lithuanian Metal. The Roots" started by Ledo Takas Records (first was DISSECTION’s "Dissected Tapes"). The idea is to present the best Lithuanian underground Metal bands from the first part of the 90s, when the scene was exploding with young, rotten talent, but mainly due to economical and […]
CRIPPLER from East Finland are active since 2011 and have just unleashed their second demo called "To Crawl Among The Gods" and play US-styled Death Metal. As I was listening to "Altars Of Madness" the whole week in my car, MORBID ANGEL is the first name, which comes into my mind listening to the first […]
In the past years, the classic Thrash Metal of the 1980s had a quite fine comeback. Lots of new and young bands saw the light of day, old hands had their second or third spring and re-releases of classic and obscure records and even demos became quite popular. And there’s no end in sight to […]
One day in the future, we will look up the word “underground” in a dictionary, and what will we find? “See: SADISTIC INTENT”. The Cortez brothers are the driving force behind this band for 27 (in words: twenty-seven!) years now, SADISTIC INTENT never went on hold, and still this band has not one official full-length […]
As one of the most beloved underground Death Metal bands, there’s really no such thing as an unremarkable SADISTIC INTENT release. It starts with an intro similar to ‘Resurrection’ and ‘A Mass For Tortured Souls’, which you can find on the "Ancient Black Earth" compilation. This song ‘Malignant Spirits’, according to the liner notes, was […]
The slowest working band in the world perhaps, the American Death Metal legends from Los Angeles, is finally ready with a new release, a thing that the hordes of fans of SADISTIC INTENT has been waiting for, for years and years. The last new recording was from 2002, the 7" EP "Morbid Faith" also released […]
NECROVORE’s debut full-length album is available on vinyl, buy now or cry later!!!!!!!!! Well, not really. For many people, though, the news about a release that features SADISTIC INTENT’s recordings are almost equally exciting. On the other hand, when the promo info sheet presents a cover artwork that has the face from the Resurrection EP […]
Twenty-seven years ago, a bunch of kids came together to form a band and play brutal Metal music in the sunny state of California. The rest is history. The Cortez brothers managed to stay underground over nearly three decades, as they never released anything on a popular lable or made any compromises in their musical […]
When Frank offered me this review, I was skeptical. SADISTIC INTENT are, for me and quite some other lunatics all over the globe, the epitome, the quintessence, the incarnation of Death Metal. If ever a band earned the title "cult", then SADISTIC INTENT. So I was worried about me not being neutral. What could I […]
New songs by SADISTIC INTENT, well it’s f**king hard to believe! Thus my anticipation as any proper Death Metal maniac’s ought to be, is naturally very high. The EP contains: ‘Malignant Spirits’, consisting of music originally written for POSSESSED and expanded with new lyrics and a nice little intro referring to the classic opening of […]
