DISINCARNATE – Soul Erosion

Oh, hell yes!!!! Give me some DISINCARNATE any day of the week, you just can’t go wrong with these guys. The short-lived band had one amazing full-length and one hard to find demo. For those that were not lucky enough to score the demo before it became out of print, then you got some relief […]

LOBOTOMY – Final Wrath – The Early Hymns Of Lobotomy

At this point of time a novel approach when it comes to describing the Swedish Death Metal scene, results simply impossible. Needles to say that it has been one of the most influential scenes throughout the history of Metal. Countless bands have constituted an essential movement, that has created a trademark with huge repercussions all […]

ULVEHUNGER – Retaliation

Even when the band ULVEHUNGER was just born this year and is releasing their first production, a full-length through Darkness Shall Rise Productions, it doesn’t mean that the band members are just beginners trying to sound like Black Metal. This is not the case. “Retaliation” is an album in which the intervention of some well […]

AIVVASS – Spiritual Archives (Occult Rites I+II)

When you see the words Folk / Doom Metal in the same sentence, you immediately think of several elements in one. Moreover if the name of the band is AIVVASS. This name immediately takes you to the Thelemic vision of Aleister Crowley and instantly points out to the philosophy and orientation of the band towards […]

NECRONOMICON – The Demos

NECRONOMICON is a legendary Thrash Metal band from Lörrach, a city located in the Baden-Württemberg Federal State, an area in the south west of Germany, that gave birth to other prominent bands in the early ’80s like DESTRUCTION, POISON and OUTRAGE. I have to admit that NECRONOMICON’s self-titled debut album from 1986 is one of […]

PENTACLE – Archaic Undead Fury

Let’s get straight to the point: PENTACLE is one of the most important Death Metal bands in the history of the underground. No need to explain who they are or what they have done. And, no one should expect to read anything new about PENTACLE at this point, unless it’s related with new material. This […]

FURBOWL – Those Shredded Dreams

FURBOWL was one of the many underrated bands, which perished in the mass of Swedish Death Metal bands. Long time before Johan Liiva joined ARCH ENEMY, he and Max Thornell founded FURBOWL back in 1991. After two demos they released their first album “Those Shredded Dreams” back in 1992, which was released via the small […]

IRONFLAME – Kingdom Torn Asunder

Main man in IRONFLAME Andrew D’Cagna used quite some years to venture around different projects and bands, writing, recording and releasing an album, and then on the next project. A restless soul for sure. Then tragedy struck, one of his best friends died. A friend into classical Heavy Metal, a friend that would have found […]

SCALD – Ancient Doom Metal

From being 27 years away, Russian Doom legends SCALD reemerge from the shadows once more with their aptly titled new album “Ancient Doom Metal”. Afterwards the sudden end of their career with the tragic death of exceptional frontman Agyl, Chilean singer Felipe Plaza Kutzbach, now took upon the mammoth task of replacing him. And he […]

LACERATION – I Erode

LACERATION has been on my radar for a bit now. The primary reason is that I am a huge fan of the Florida Death Metal style. So when I came across LACERATION (who hail from Northern California mind you), they were in the early days a bit more SUFFOCATION, New York Death Metal, but slowly […]
