It’s been 3 years since ex – ARISE guitarist L-G Hakamo released his debut album ("The Undead") under his new project band called DRAGGING THE CASKET. Now L-G Hakamo has got his 2nd album out of the pipe, titled "From Hell". Just like it was the case with DRAGGING THE CASKET’s debut album, L-G Hakamo […]
Second album of this Chicago based band that has been dwelling in the underground a long time ago. The main difference with their debut “Conquest” has to be a better production and a more defined style. This is the perfect mix of Death and Thrash Metal, pretty much in the vein of early MALEVOLENT CREATION […]
Perhaps this isn’t a word one may expect to see associated with Brazil’s legendary MYSTIFIER, but I can’t help but find them, particularly 1992’s “Wicca” utterly serendipitous. Sure, it’s a more flowery word than I was aiming for, but, let’s face it, words tend to get buried especially when you play music this fast. Bassist […]
I don’t think that I let out a secret by telling you that the Metal scene in South America is extremely huge and very active. One of the oldest scenes exists in Chile, a country quite well known for its extreme Metal bands. PENTAGRAM CHILE are probably the best known extreme Metal band from this […]
DEMONA from Canada was already formed in 2007 by hellish front woman and guitarist Tanza, who then moved to Quebec / Canada where she found three additional members to fill up the line-up of the now known DEMONA. After releasing some split singles and a first full-length CD, they now present their second full-length "Speaking […]
Every once in a while you come across with something that makes you to love it instantly. Without playing a true smart ass or anything, but there are many kinds of possibilities for some certain instant loves out there – being it a new fancy car, a big new home, an interesting and / or […]
OK, here’s a little quiz for you – with songtitles like ‘V.I.Paedophile’, ‘Up To My Uts In Guts’, ‘Grind, Tear And Slice’, ‘Torn From Cunt To Cunt’, ‘Menstrual Fryup’ (that’s a tasty one!) and suchlike, what sort of style these Scottish fuckers chose to build those words around? Yep, it ain’t fuckin’ Pagan Metal or […]
The Dutch one-man band SAMMATH was formed back in 1994 by Jan Kruitwagen, who originally used to grow up and live in Australia, until he ended up moving to Europe in 1989. Being heavily impressed by bands such as DEATHROW, CORONER, METALLICA and EXODUS as well as the new wave of Black Metal he quickly […]
SAMMATH is doing it with what most bands today lack – balls. It’s doing what MARDUK did back in the day with its groundbreaking “Panzer Division Marduk” and showed people that it’s not all about the imagery and can stand head-to-head with its Death Metal peers in terms of brutality, so to speak. It’s not […]
I still remember the times in the late 90s and during the first many years of the 00s, where I was more than fed up with melodic Swedish Death Metal, one couldn’t look left or right without getting some of that rehashed awful cashcowing excuse for extreme Metal thrown in the face. When the genre […]
