Second album of this Swedish band, that upon their appearance in the Death Metal scene caused a good reaction with their demo, 7” EP and further debut album. Their style has not changed that much in the sense that they still sound something like ENTOMBED with a subtle Hardcore / Punk sound. And that is […]
Poland has always been known for its several and productive Death Metal bands, that are able to do quality, highly likeable stuff. PRELUDIUM, this Polish foursome, has been around since 1999, and "Redemption" is already the band’s 4th studio album within 10 years. Blackened Death Metal is the name of PRELUDIUM’s own game – and […]
Finnish Thrashers WITHERIA have existed since 2000 (2000-2001 under the FALLOUT moniker though), slowly building up the band’s profile as a noteworthy and potential Finnish Metal act that could well become even something bigger one day if just a couple of stars in the nightsky turned a bit more favorable position for them. "Devastating Return" […]
It was not that long ago that Caligari Records released a damn fine split release with the demo tapes from Swedish INISANS and the French duo SKELETHAL. And now the French duo is back again with a brand new release on this fine label. "Deathmanicvs Revelation" is the name of this EP and it just […]
Heavy Metal was meant to be evil in the beginning. Heavy Metal was something that made many people freak out and not missing their weekly Sunday church services and reading the holy Bible the way like it could save them from the wrath of Satan… Oh well, this Norwegian duo better known as BLACK MAGIC […]
From the Aquitaine area in the south west of France, RED DEAD went on their way to show the world that the French Metal scene is still alive and well. And in addition, they prove that there are new bands worth checking out. RED DEAD is, of course, one of these bands. “I Have Worn […]
Finnish doomy Heavy Metallers WITCHTIGER have been around for about 10 years, and released a bunch of demo- and split-stuff already that has more or less been available as limited quantities only (just like the band’s 2010 demo, strictly limited to 40 hand-numbered cassette copies only. Now talk about some slight obscurity and mysticism around […]
A spare drum beat at a plodding pace… and then, the massively heavy, down-tuned distorted bass guitar introduce the dark minimalism of Thomas Gabriel Fischer’s TRIPTYKON, on this, their first EP and second release of 2010. Here, the artistic continuation of the late great CELTIC FROST awaits the curious seeker. Besides sheer heaviness, one facet […]
Sometimes you need just a few seconds, and you know you will love the album you are listening to. And it’s like that with "Melana Chasmata", the new TRIPTYKON album. The new – excellent – TRIPTYKON album, we should add. First of all, yes, it’s logic that all the HELLHAMMER and CELTIC FROST maniacs will […]
This is already this Swiss Death Metal patrol NEAR DEATH CONDITION’s 3rd album, carrying the title "Evolving Towards Extinction". Their previous album, "The Disembodied – In Spiritual Spheres", released in 2011, strongly lifted up the band’s name on the lips among the people in the Death Metal community. On "Evolving…", one can expect more of […]
