There must be something in the air in France… This year, there are a lot of new and interesting releases from the land of the red wine. PARAMNESIA is the next band to keep an eye upon. However, not much information can be gathered about this band, except that Pierre Perichaud is responsible for the […]
Another split release of 2 Chinese very different Metal bands, DINKUMOIL that clearly trust some roots of NWOBHM – and then THE PUNISHER whose road is made more of intensity, aggression and heaviness. They play a mix of a relatively technical Thrash Metal and Heavy Metal. So we have got a pretty nice combination of […]
First off, this 7-track live album from Chinese Thrashers EXCITED INSECTS would do much more justice to me if this wasn’t the band’s first release I got to hear from them. Musically there’s a heavy connection present to early DARK ANGEL’s and early METALLICA’s stuff though, with some Punk ideas, so EXCITED INSECTS pretty much […]
Buio from Italy is the project of mastermind Count Morgul and saw the light of day in 2012. After only one and a half years, he is now presenting the self-financed "Promo ’14". This demo takes us back to the grim years of 1991 – 1992, when a young musician called Varg Vikernes totally got […]
A split release of 2 Chinese underground Metal bands, THE METAPHOR (featuring Wu and Li respectively) and SUDDEN EVIL (one-man band, Snake being responsible for all the instruments), should always raise a few pairs of eye browns out there, just for the sake of sheer curiosity, right? It does, I can tell. Even I was […]
China’s capital Beijing is the right place where you can find loads and loads of new underground Metal bands as an eternal stream coming towards you if you have some time to do some research on the internet. DINKUMOIL is a Chinese trio that seems to love playing some sort of a blend of NWOBHM […]
It reeks of evil and obscure underground Metal… it reeks of something like it could make you deadly curious of them even. Yep, indeed it does. Michigan’s underground Black / Death Metal horde LUCIFER’S HAMMER started out back in 1986 already, released 4 demos and 2 full-lengths when terrorizing the Christian community with their blasphemous […]
The quintet in FLAMINGSTEAM, they all decided to go separate ways in July 2012. What a pity because the band’s 6-track EP, released on the small Chinese label Dying Legion in 2013, showed a lot of promise in them. FLAMINGSTREAM performed probably the most convincing Thrash Metal coming out of China. They proved to play […]
From the capital of China, Beijing, comes HELL SAVIOR that plays sort of a mishmash of early US tinged Heavy Metal, NWOBHM reeking Metal, Speed Metal and Thrash Metal, added with some progressive ingredients. HELL SAVIOR released a 8-track EP in 2009 on their own, before signing to a Chinese label Dying Legion. The first […]
China is pretty much the kind of country that doesn’t enjoy much of the international limelight when it strictly comes down to the music scene of this particular country in question, especially when overall talking about the Chinese Metal scene, put under a huge magnifying glass for further inspection. Sure thing is there must be […]
