If you like Black Metal and ever feel like time travelling, consider AGGRESSIVE MUTILATOR a sort of Swedish Bill & Ted. They may be the last people you’d trust with theoretical quantum physics, but at least it won’t be a drag if you end up somewhere you don’t want to be. I suppose I could […]
Norwegian duo SKAPT AV SKOG was a short-lived act that just existed sometime around the mid 90s, and probably just for a couple of years. They only recorded this unreleased 3-track EP in 1996, and disbanded after that. Now the grave of the band was opened, as the Polish underground Black Metal label Fallen Temple […]
Old school Black Metal is always a pretty ‘hell-come’ thing when you want to hear something truly primitive, dark and stripped down – packed with full of sort of primal aggression and shit, that let your slumbering beast loose in the form of music. The Swedish trio in MONSTRAAT keeps it as real as possible […]
Finland’s symphonic Black Metallers ALGHAZANTH have built quite a reputation for themselves as one of the most respected and most admired Black Metal bands of the whole Finnish Black Metal scene. They have been building up their own profile by putting out some quality releases over the years – and "The Three-Faced Pilgrim", is actually […]
CANNIBAL ACCIDENT is just awesome entertainment and simply lotsa fun. Since the day one when CANNIBAL ACCIDENT was formed in 2007, they were tagged with a sort of label ‘don’t take us too seriously’, playing a mixture of the Swedish type of 90s down-tuned Death Metal and Grindcore, with some outrageously hilarious song titles and […]
Young Danish Thrashers in ROARBACK obviously love to thrash – and they love VADER, too. Well, at least I was associated by those two particular things right away when I was spinning ROARBACK’s debut album "Echoes Of Pain" in my super-slim Dantax player a few times in a row, within the past 3 – 4 […]
At its best moments music is able to transport special feelings, create atmosphere, evoke emotions and in some cases the sound is connected with old memories and the music is even able to take you back in time. This happened when I first listened to “Coerce Creed” by Singapore based NECHBEYTH. It took me back […]
Think of anything you’ve ever drawn in your life; it could be some kind of fan art for SLAYER or MORBID ANGEL, a portrait for a teenage girlfriend or perhaps even a botched band logo. The point is, you had to learn, at some point, that in order to create the illusion of form or […]
The first look on the ENTRAILS logo made me think of ENTOMBED. Only a bit rougher. Nothing wrong with similarities but how about the music? First of all, this is not the one from Avesta, but län which seems to be nearby. According to the bio ENTRAILS was formed in 1991 by Fredde, Tobbe, Billy […]
French progressive melo Death Metal act TEMNEIN was formed in 2009, and ever since they have been gaining a fair amount of attention for themselves, especially in their home territory France. TEMNEIN pretty much mix all kinds of influences on their debut "404 B.C.", but the melo Death is however that element in their sound […]
