FROZEN DAWN is a Black Metal horde from Madrid and they are already active since 2006. They now present their second full-length via Xtreem Music, who had no other choice than signing these guys after hearing the new material. "Those Of The Cursed Light" presents itself touched by the hand of melodic Scandinavian Death / Black. […]
Even though Canada’s SACRIFICE never really got the attention they deserved, they left an impact in the extreme Metal scene. Some cover tunes like the one THANATOS did (classic slaughter tune ‘Re-Animation’) should prove this more than clearly. SACRIFICE’s debut "Torment In Fire" or its absolutely brilliant follow-up "Forward To Termination" are concerned classics nowadays. […]
In May 2011, "Macabre Eternal" proved to be exactly the monumental tomb crusher I had hoped for as a comeback album for Cali’s AUTOPSY who are the finest embodiment of Death Metal for me. The gore, the gloom, the doom, the darkness, the horror, the aggression. You find it all in AUTOPSY’s vast catalogue and […]
Are you ready for a violent assault from South East Asia? If so, then you should lay your filthy hands on "Amulet Of Sin" which is the debut album by the wicked Siamese four piece SAVAGE DEITY. The horde might still be known to some of you out there due to their split 7" EP […]
Still waiting for the next BELPHEGOR output? Disappointed by the last NECROPHOBIC releases? Enjoying CRADLE OF FILTH when they play fast-forward, accompanied by some keyboard melodies (not that Gothic hullabaloo)? Thinking THE CROWN sounded much better when they were named CROWN OF THORNS? Having “The Somberlain” by DISSECTION in mind when talking about excellent Death […]
Finnish old school Death Metallers NERLICH called it quits in 2008, after releasing their not-so-well received last EP, titled "Innards". That particular release can be considered as the band’s low point during NERLICH’s whole otherwise so strong career. Sadly, NERLICH’s debut album "Defabricated Process", that was released on OSM Records back in 2007, really didn’t […]
Let there be Doom! SERPENT WARNING is a fresh name on the Doom Metal scene, but better remember it: these four guys from Finland did their homework, and they know how to play Doom Metal the classic way. So if you worship acts such as SAINT VITUS, WITCHFINDER GENERAL or DAWN OF WINTER, then check […]
It seems to me that there are still tons of bands out there who dedicate their sound to the music of the past. Especially the sound of the early 1970s seems to be en vogue right now. BURNING SAVIOURS from Örebro in Sweden are a quartet that fit to this trend pretty well. But I […]
Finally again a band from India I really get into. PURGATION march into the battle under the banner of brutal old school Death Metal. These five Deathbangers from Kolkata seem to be die hard worshippers of the US scene (heavily influenced by the older savageries of SUFFOCATION, IMMOLATION, MALEVOLENT CREATION and other calibres of that […]
Canada’s SLAUGHTER is rightfully considered one of the absolute titans of proto Death Metal and influenced many acts in the wake of its glorious demos and the quintessential “Strappado” album. To the very day absolute faves of mine! STRAPPADO were basically a short lived continuation of this cult act and “Fatal Judgement” covers the 10 […]
