After the release of their seventh album “Where The Light Ends” in 2019, German Death Grind machine KEITZER now returned. Their new offering, “Pandemonium Humanitas”, surely took some time, and the nine new songs composed here meant to push their sound to a new limit. Their super thick and ravaging guitar riffs are there with […]
DENOMINATION is a new band to my ears. When asked to do a review on this, their latest release coming from F.D.A. Records, I thought I would give them a go. Mainly I said yes to the opportunity because of the excellent mood-inducing cover art. Yeah, I’m a sucker for that type of thing. So […]
SHITANGEL returns with their ferocious new EP “Brown Bath Resurrection”. This Burlington, Vermont based group wasted no time inflicting auditory damage. As opening with the searing 2023 single ‘Something Reeks Of Violence’ a ruthless throat-cutting number that immediately establishes SHITANGEL’s signature sound. It reeks of a ghastly, black thrashing tone reminiscent of AURA NOIR and […]
I have always considered EXPULSION as one criminally underrated band. And although they went on to release two albums, these three songs showed the start of a stylistic shift towards Doom / Death Metal. Now, courtesy of the fine Dutch label Vic Records, we now get not only the original three track EP but also […]
The ever impressive Vic Records are back with yet another repress and this time we have Florida residents EQUINOX and their full-length “Return To Mystery”. The booklet of this edition contains extensive liner notes from Olivier “Zoltar” Badin and many rare and old pictures, flyers, posters and is complete with a new cover artwork. The […]
SAD WHISPERINGS was formed in 1990 (as DESECRATE) and released several demos in the ’80s / ’90s up till their split in 2004. They were a pure Doom / Death Metal band similar to their early inspiration PARADISE LOST with a touch of the Dutch school of Doom / Death Metal like THE GATHERING. The […]
They say music bring memories… and it’s is completely true! I remember this Belgium band’s debut album being around at the only Metal gathering place we had back then, and although everybody liked the cover, it was gathering dust in there as nobody really wanted to add it to their collection. Well, this compilation, just […]
This is the second album from this Belgian band, which was formed in 1988. Originally released in 1994, it’s been re-released with additional bonus songs now. I know this band since their fantastic debut album “Fatal Exposure”, which was released in 1992 and actually traded some copies with the band itself back in the days. […]
A lost cult gem! BLACK SHEPHERD is a Thrash Metal band from Belgium that was active between 1984 and 1989 (previously between 1983 and 1984 under the name BEELZEBUB) with several demos and only one full-length to their credit. BLACK SHEPHERD are part of that proliferation of Speed / Thrash Metal bands that sprang up […]
I know all my reader fanbase waits in eager anticipation for my next words and my creative and incisive reviews. So to you, my loyal fanbase, you may recall my mention of my admiration of the Florida style Death Metal scene. I bring to you today a band not quite originators, but with ties and […]
