Sometimes life is stranger than any movie or novel. There are about 20 bands named DESECRATION (with such a name most bands are of course into Death, Black and Thrash Metal or Grindcore) and the number of reviews on the VOICES website is: zero. Unbelievable. So DESECRATION from Wales are the first DESECRATION which got […]
Certain kinds of Metal are never out of style, because they were never really in-style. Blackened Thrash Metal is one of these sub-genres of Metal. And OBSESSÖR from the German area of Eastern Westphalia are a band that’s devoted to this style. Formed in 2009 by members of ZERSTÖRER and the meanwhile defunct BEER PRESSURE, […]
VOMITING CORPSES from Emden in Lower Saxony was one of the first Death Metal bands from Germany and were already founded in 1988, and therefore they relish a kind of cult status in the underground, especially in Northern Germany. Their first demo "The Call" was released in 1990 and followed by their second demo "Cold […]
FINALLY!!!!!! Spanish label Dan’s Crypt Records has just earned a free beer from this reviewer right here. The label has released 99% (well except for the split with HORROR OF HORRORS, but that was only one track) of the mighty JUDECCA’s catalog all on one cd. These Floridians were on the now defunct but legendary […]
Not even two years after “The Carnage Ending” marked their 10th album, Dutch Death Metal institution SINISTER is back again with a new album. “The Post-Apocalyptic Servant” was recorded by the same line-up in the same studio (Soundlodge) with the same producer (Jörg Uken), the cover art was also done by Mike Hrubovcak… Nothing new […]
It’s not that long ago that I first heard of this Danish five-piece DEMON HEAD. Their “Demo 2014” really pleased my ears just a few weeks ago, and they’re back with a new release very soon. This time it is a vinyl 7” on the tiny Danish label Levitation, specialized in Psychedelic Rock. Two tracks […]
Nowadays, one might think every single obscurity released in the golden era of Swedish Death Metal has been re-released by now, but nay! Every now and then you are surprised to see another gem exhumed and being made available in remastered form. EXPULSION, originally formed around ’88 and featuring TREBLINKA / TIAMAT members are such […]
I’ve been infested by BRUTALLY DECEASED from the very day Jan from Lavadome Productions sent me their first album "Dead Lover’s Guide" back in 2010, their first full-length which also was the Czech band’s first release, and what a release! It took me by surprise and I was soon dragged into their universe of old […]
Every time I have been listening to this output I felt sad and depressed afterwards. Because I wanted the music to go on forever, therefore I am glad someone invented the endless repeat function. The debut by Swedish based GLUTTONY is classical Swedish Death Metal. No more, no less. The band name, the excellent cover […]
Let’s make this review short and to the point, just like this album. VIOLATION WOUND (great name!) is a project formed by Chris Reifert (guitar, vocals) Joe Orterry (bass) and Matt O’Connell (drums) who don’t like to fuss around and go straight to the bone with their raw, aggressive, ass kicking Punk’n’Roll. Or is it […]
