This one is for all those who like their extreme Metal the simple, old fashioned way and do not care too much for filigree musical skills. "Defiling The Altar Of Gods" is a split release that features two bands who are more or less one man projects. The man behind FETID ZOMBIE is no one […]
DECEMBRE NOIR from Germany are besides NAILED TO OBSCURITY the new hopefuls in a style, that had its peak in the mid 90s, but then seemed to die out after that time, due to lack of talented and unique sounding bands, so I am happy to hear some new and fresh tunes in form of […]
Well the name MISANTHROPE is probably one of the most often used in extreme Metal. The Encyclopedia Metallum (one of my fave sites on the net) lists six bands with this name from all over the world. The MISANTHROPE we deal with here are a Mexican band, with BAAL drummer Oscar Uscanga and that band’s […]
Beer, Metal, booze, leather, spikes and women. It all looks like Canadian trio BLACKRAT has seriously been thinking of the meaning of life – and for Metalheads like the lads in BLACKRAT are, I suppose the guys overall are somewhat happy with their own lifes there in Calgary, Alberta. It’s those little things in life […]
Well, this is going to be a short one. French based SPASMOPHILIAQUE are presenting their first release ever, the full-length "First Step On The Wild Side". And as much I have sympathies for self-financed releases, this album is one of the most feeble and lame I have been listening for a long time. Progressive Death […]
This is Black Metal that’s slightly different than what we’re used to spin. Because of the melodic guitars, the pretty clean production and technical approach, this will not be in everyone’s favour. Halfway I lost track and a track like ‘Devour The Sun’ was just too much. But first something about the band… ARCHITECT OF […]
But now for something completely different…THY WORSHIPER is band that doesn’t fit into the standards known on this site. The career of this Polish band lasts for more than twenty years now, with a nearly ten year break after their first album and another break caused by the relocation of main man Marcin Gąsiorowski to […]
Retro-ish Speed and Thrash Metal has strongly been raising its messy head for quite some time ago. Bands are born as rapidly like hungry maggots in your beloved yet deceased grandmom’s rotting corpse – and there’s no end in sight to that at all, which on the other hand, is partly a good thing – […]
BURNING FLESH is a 5-piece Death Metal unit that was formed in 2005 by some Swiss and French fellows who seemed to share a common interest: playing Death Metal. BURNING FLESH self-released their debut album "Unconscious Deformity" in 2007, opening a few important doors for themselves by this album. In 2013 it was the right […]
All those who have their radars turned on for good young Heavy Metal acts, surely already heard about this young band from Helsinki, and their "Skull Splitting Metal". The AGENT STEEL / ABATTOIR / EXCITER compatible sounds they generate, full of great guitar leads, high pitched screams and pounding rhythm section, placed them in the […]
