This solid Stoner, Doom release from Spain’s Basque country is just as refreshing as it is familiar. HORN OF THE RHINO is a trio committed to bringing thundering riffs that are both whiplash-inducing and, of course, of the slower, more whiskey-paced variety. Despite the sense that a couple of vocal styles never real seem fully […]
Last year, the “Blessings Of Winter” EP from NORRSKÖLD was a highlight for any lover of melodic Death Metal of the Gothenburg school. The music Henrik Bodin-Sköld created with his solo project was not a re-invention of the wheel, but a fine EP that aimed for the abandoned throne of those who left. Not even […]
If you crawl through the dark, deep caverns of this website you will find my previous review on the CD version done by Obscure Domain Records in 2013 whereas now Germany’s Deathscent Records present its first ever release with a proper vinyl edition of “The Sacred Lie”. Visually a massive upgrade can already be noted […]
Is it already one and a half years since HOD from Texas released their impressing demo “The Uncreated”? Time flies, I guess. So now it is due time for a new sign of life from the Masters of Evil. Arctic Music nailed down the right to unleash “Book Of The Worm”, HOD’s second full-length assault. […]
Although this Brazilian band is still relatively young, they’ve done an amazingly conscientious thing by collecting their demos on a separate bonus disc that comes with their debut album, "Inverted Redemption". The disc collects "First Manifestation Of Heresy", their first demo in 2001, the "Decayed In The Pecaminous Profoundness" 2006 demo and cover of the […]
The album title could be used literally as it took this long running Power Metal outfit from Tokyo about five years to come up with the successor to "Total Insanity". Founded already back in 1994, GUILTYS LAW’s second full-length continues where their debut stopped. This means that you will get a full metallic dose of […]
I gotta confess that I wasn’t familiar with Chile’s BESTIAL CONSPIRACY zine before, even though their last issue already dates back to 1990. But when I recently received their "25 years anniversary" edition (issue # 3), I immediately knew that I must have missed out on something really special. The only negative aspect is their […]
THE WOLVES OF AVALON from Hertfordshire in the UK have just released their second full-length album in their so far three year band history via Godreah Records. Metal Archives describes their style as Pagan Metal. These British guys have a very wide range of musical influences, which they mixed up to their own style. You […]
We all knew this day would come eventually. But it caught me off guard. A band with no entry on Metal Archives! THRONE OF SACRILEGE is hailing from the United States Of America and this split release is the first release by the three-piece consisting of Grimnyr (guitar / bass), Throgrym (vocals) and DK (drums). […]
It’s no big secret that the scene in Spain is more vital than ever before. Countless hordes in all genres and all corners from the entire country emerge from the underground in order to indulge in the music they enjoy most. Many of these acts have great potential and EXODIA being one of them. Sure […]
