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 […]
SADISTIC INTENT chose to cover a song from DARKTHRONE’s tongue-in-cheek Party Metal era? Arrrggh! Why not do ‘Triumphant Gleam’ instead? This is my only aggravation about the L.A. band’s latest output. Any fan of this band has to take new music when he can get it, right? The first track is my favorite. ‘Malignant Spirits’ […]
I have to start this review by telling you that SADISTIC INTENT is a very, very special band for me and definitely one of the best and most important Death Metal bands of all times. Their live performances are so fucking over the top and their magnum opus the "Ancient Black Earth" MCD is one […]
I never expected that I would ever use the words "disappointing" and SADISTIC INTENT in one sentence together! But when it comes to "Reawakening Horrid Thoughts" I simply have to. And believe me: it really hurts! But let’s start from the beginning. While the entire Death Metal underground is still awaiting the band’s long overdue […]
Here we have SCARECROW, a thrashing Black Metal band from Finland. There’s one country that doesn’t lack for good Metal! This is a four track EP. This is a band with the standard fare of themes: Satan, Metal, Hell, and desecrating the name of Jesus. The band certainly looks the part and I have to […]
Third album, of this killer Death Metal trio from Chile. I have heard their previous works, and I am sure this is their album. The band continues with the tradition of doing mainly songs in Spanish, with text covering mainly anti-religious themes and critics towards organized religions. The music is still a great form of […]
Fast, quasi melodic Black Metal with a War Metal touch is what we have here on the second album of this Polish foursome. At times they sound a bit like early MARDUK while others they have a strange sound which reminds of a very raw and almost warlike Metal version of DISSECTION. The fact that […]
