Here’s another Russian underground Black Metal act called PERVERSUS STIGMATA that had all the potential to make things happening for them, but unfortunately the band’s current status nowadays is ‘on hold’. They probably have split up for good already because it’s nearly been 5 years since the band’s debut album "Interstellar Hatred Void" was released […]
From the first bass line of the instrumental opener ‘Rising Evil’ IRON MAIDEN will be an immediate association when putting on Colombia’s originally 2004 released debut “High Speed Venom”, which was recently put out on wax via Teutonia’s Heavy Forces. Steve Harris tone and influence aside, riffing-wise JUDAS PRIEST and due to the soaring vocals […]
Hang the pope, raid the convent, bring some slaughter in the Vatican, ah come on, let’s bulldoze the whole goddamn place and bury those depraved, greedy, self-righteous hypocrites in a whole big pile of rubble and shit… because when cardinals hear the heavily VENOM, MOTÖRHEAD, WARFARE inspired battle roar of BULLDOZING BASTARD who lent their […]
We sometimes forget what for a "free" life we are all living without any restrictions from police or government and I think that luckily only a few out there can imagine a life as a Metalhead without the right to make or listen to their music or to wear their favourite Metal shirt when taking […]
The good thing in life is that you never know what to expect next, always new experiences are waiting to be made. In this case two intros. At first there are some radio transmissions / cosmic noises and then, just when you think the music starts… well there is music, but some strange Russian / […]
Chaotic and dark Death Metal from the Czech Republic is not something I stumble across each week, though if it encounters me with a fist in my face, as this release from DEATH KARMA has, please bring it on! The two members of the band have been in different bands within the Czech Death and […]
Does anyone remember obscure US (Black) / Death acts like NEPENTHE who became LIGEIA then KING CARNAGE (actually their mighty fine 2013 album was reviewed on these unholy pages here)? Well, all these bands are the precursors or in some way connected to HOWLS OF EBB whose 2014 debut invites you all to enter a […]
SEMARGL used to be a potential Ukraine Black / Death Metal act earlier that changed their musical orientation very drastically in the later years, just to become – according to some articles and reviews about them, some sort of a mishmash of Dance, Pop, Trance and Electronic music and Mallcore act (the band’s latest album […]
We all love the stench of supuration, a strong smell of rotting flesh coming out of a decaying corpse, don’t we? I mean, especially when all this can be related to some old school Death Metal – and extra specially to some 90s Swedish sounding Death Metal – and yet preferably the demo times I […]
While their name might be familiar, this is actually a brand new band, formed in 2013 in Austria, and "Herald The Unsung" is their debut album. Allright, for the record, they were previously known as MANIC DISEASE, but they have a new line-up, new songs, a new band name, so we need to consider them […]
