It’s been a while since I’ve spinned some folky Black Metal, though some thought that should change, as I ended up with the third full-length album from the Czech band PANYCHIDA on my desk. Pagan Metal is not what has caught my interest much during the years, for some reasons, that I can’t account for. […]
KAUNIS KUOLEMATON ("beautiful immortal" in English) is a relatively fresh Finnish extreme Metal act, sort of a bastard child of Doom, Death, Black and Gothic Metal in one unique package, in which some members from such Finnish Metal acts as BLACK SUN AEON, ROUTASIELU, SINAMORE, END OF AEON, etc., have decided to carry out their […]
The bringers of filth and all things grim and foul are back with a new album, titled "Death March". COPROLITH, these Finnish blackened Death Metallers, have reached that point in their career when it was time to break a long silence recording wise. COPROLITH released their pretty well received debut album "Cold Grief Relief" in […]
2nd release by Normandy based TORTURE THRONE! It took them close to four years to strike back after their debut release “Thy Serpent’s Cult” (2010). Well their formula of Death Metal has not changed that drastically, since you still hear their dedication to the classical Scandinavian styled HM2 distortion pedal drive. Generally I think that […]
Is it just me, or does a name like THE DEAD GOATS somehow hint on a Horrorpunk band, MISFITS style? Anyway, this Polish three-piece is pretty far from playing Punk, let alone Horrorpunk. Instead Jawor, Pavlo aka Conan and Radek Royale chose to play some real Metal of Death, that is “hugely inspired by Swedish […]
UK based Death Metal Outfit DYSCARNATE is not a newcomer. After two demos (2006 and 2008) and their debut in 2010, their sophomore album is a logical evolution in their sound. This is modern Death Metal played the way it was meant to be. And no, there are no Hardcore influences or breakdowns aplenty. This […]
NUCLEAR are by far no strangers in the underground scene anymore. Having released a couple of strong releases over the past few years the quintet is one of the most dynamic and live active outfits from Chile. "Apatrida" is their latest output featuring five new tunes (incl. an EXPLOITED cover version called ‘Chaos Is My […]
I am always excited when I can check out new bands from my favourite South American country Chile. I have never been disappointed so far and the debut album by IMPACT won’t change this tradition as well. Despite having already been around since 2003, "Trepanacion" is the first long player of this five piece outfit […]
VILIFIER from Brisbane, Down Under is an outfit that has been around already since 2007, playing Ancient Barbaric Death Metal as they call it. After a demo and a live tape, they now present their first official EP "Ritual Obscuration" via Forgotten Wisdom Productions in digipak format. Somehow these guys remind me of DARKTHRONE back […]
BLOODRIDE from Finland were founded to play Thrash Metal in the vein of SLAYER, EXODUS and the likes. They’re rather old farts like you and me who can’t get accustomed to the new trends in Metal. Well, BLOODRIDE surely deliver some energy! The songwriting is solid but neither comes up with something new nor with […]
