First we had the "Roman Acupuncture" demo which received quie a lot of praise, then the "Aura" EP was released by Iron Bonehead Productions, which made a larger crowd aware of BÖLZER, and that release got even more praise than the demo. The Swiss duo made of HzR and KzR is now ready with their […]
We don’t have enough Death Metal in our world, or at least I do not in my little caged universe, so I like it, when I come across a band or two that are a little interesting and bring something listen- and headbangable on the table. This is a split release between Czech MORBIDER and […]
First off, there’s been a major delay in getting this "Back To The Front" released, ENTOMBED’s 11th studio album – or in this particular case, ENTOMBED A.D.’s debut, due to some inner fights between the original ENTOMBED members about owing the rights to this name (that sincerely said, reached a pretty ridiculous level at some […]
I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing an ASCENDED DEAD gig a few times now and I think their skills improve with each live performance. They recently completed an American tour with WARPVOMIT, another young and talented band from Washington. So things are definitely looking up for the ASCENDED ones. Apart from a couple of demo […]
These are definitely busy guys. El Salvador’s CONCEIVED BY HATE are pretty present during the last months. One release every year, whatever format it is. Now it is a split album, shared with none less than underground legend DECEASED and available only on vinyl. And it seems to me that since the day the vocal […]
From France comes crawling ATAVISMA with its cryptic form of Death Metal. Paying no heed to the contemporary style of the genre, the band wallows in darkness, in its own slime and mud. It’s almost doomy, given its slow, dragging pace but it’s most reminiscent of INCANTATION although the sound owes a lot to the […]
Sometime the phrase "love it or hate it" is the only thought that comes to my mind when listening to music like "Black Rotten Witchcraft". SATANIZE from Portugal are active since 2001, they released a bunch of demos, one EP and several split releases on tape and vinyl. Even a live album saw the light […]
It seems that the underground in Switzerland goes through a kind of renaissance when it comes to Metal of Death. The scene in our neighbour country has delivered a few interesting outfits lately with NIHILO being one of them. But you can’t actually call them newcomers anymore as the band has been active since 2003 […]
I found very little info on this band besides they are a 3 piece band from the Ukraine. And that they play atmospheric Black Metal. In this case, the band sounds more like an elegant avantgarde Black Metal, with speed passages and melody, and quite adequate vocals, not in the high pitched realm, more in […]
Coming almost out of nowhere, this band form the Ukraine is the demon child of guitar player Wortherax who used to be a part of NOKTURNAL MORTUM. On this, their debut album, they do a quite different music style. There is a strong melodic Death Metal sound, which refers to early IN FLAMES, DARK TRANQUILLITY […]
