Here we go with the 3rd longplayer of Californian GRAVEHILL and of course I expected nothing more in advance than a lethal Death Metal onslaught strictly bound to the classical late 80s and early 90s genre god fathers. Well, after the first rounds I think, yeah it’s GRAVEHILL, you already recognize it because of the […]
“Why did you decide to play such a psychedelic music?” – “Well, our guitar player just can not play but he owns a lot of external effect devices!” It is more than 20 years ago that I have read this in an interview and during all the years this dialogue comes to my mind when […]
Japanese FUNERAL MOTH plays nearly literally Funeral Doom Metal. While listening to the band’s full-length debut opus, I could constantly hear my heartbeat in the background simply because FUNERAL MOTH’s Doom is soooo ultra-slow – almost reaching a dead-calm musical state, in which once dead are about to put dead again so to speak. I […]
An anthology of BOMBS OF HADES’ non full-length releases, and there’s been a great amount of EP releases from the Swedes, and a release like this is damned nice, as some of us were asleep when the bastards where available for sane prices, and not the insane amounts the speculation in vinyl has brought with […]
From the early 90s American Death Metal state No.1 – Florida – emerges the sinister Death Metal four-piece IMPURITY. The band was founded in 1998 and released the "Subjugation Of Mankind" demo as a self-financed MCD in the year 2000. Now their second assault "Unearthly Affinity" is unleashed upon the worldwide Death Metal scene and […]
Formed back in 1989, Brazil’s long running Black Metal act IMPURITY has just released their last output in CD-R format, "Promocional Impuro" (aka "Impure Promotional") which is a compilation of songs from their 5 full-length albums and their split with BLACK FEAST from Finland. Despise the simple, yet controversial cover (which looks a little childish […]
These totally sick and mentally wacho Finnish cannibals are on the loose again, I see. "Lennu", containing of 6 tracks of sheer funny, perverse and grinding extravagance, squeezed in within just 8 minutes or so, ain’t any arty-crafty release with some instrumental finesse put on the songs. Actually very far from all that. However, there’s […]
Thuringian Black / Thrash horde NOCTURNAL WITCH have just finished their first hellish full-length "Summoning Hell", which will be unleashed upon mankind by the end of March. This two men project consisting of Baphomet and Tyrant is already around since 2009 and they play a fresh and unused sounding mixture of Black and Thrash Metal […]
If you still think of Elvis Presley when you hear Memphis, Tennessee, you should immediately change that. RITUAL DECAY are also from that famous town and they are not playing Rock’n’Roll, nor Country or anything like that. They are Black Metal. Pretty pure, old fashioned Black Metal to be more precise. And they are a […]
The Polish hordes from VOIDHANGER are back! Two years after their well received debut album "Wrathprayers", this three-piece from hell is back with a vengeance for their second full-length "Working Class Misanthropy". Speaking of misanthropy, this is one keynote of this album for sure. The other are hate and anger. Just listen to the opening […]
