First off, I sincerely have to confess to all of you right away that I have always had a slight problem with all of these new, modern sounding Death Metal bands with millions of rhythm changes – and another millions of blindly churned out riffs, making you some company through the stuff they do. You […]
CÓNDOR from Bogota / Colombia were formed in 2013 and now already present their first self-financed full-length. This fine newcomer plays Doom / Death worshipping old BLACK SABBATH with a strong focus on 70s Rock but also influenced by classic Doom / Death like ANATHEMA or CATHEDRAL. Consisting of 2 members of disbanded VERTEBRAE the […]
Russia has been one of the most potential Metal countries for many years already, even if many releases that are available in Russia, may never surface on any other music markets due to limited resources of some Russian labels to distribute all this stuff properly enough. Stygian Crypt Productions is one of those Russian labels […]
First part of the review – written by a longtime die hard hard CHASTAIN fan: Holy shit! They are back! Reunion of David T. Chastain and Leather Leone was kind of a wet dream of many die hard True Metal fans around the world for many, many years. Let’s face it: Kate French with whom […]
Most of you surely never heard of FUOCO FATUO before. The band’s name is Italian for "Will-O’-The-Wisp" and the songs are sung in Italian as well. These pretty young guys from Varese are around as a band for two years now and might be newcomers, but not newbies. Bass player Giovanni Piazza is also active […]

Yep, these Californians have crafted a relentless Blackened Thrash attack reminiscent of the good old […]
Since this was my first time exposed to Californians UNHOLY LUST, I made my homework and got some information on them. They started as a Punk band back in 1999, but turned into a full Metal band in 2002. And it was a great change. Or so I believe, upon listening to their latest release, […]
Germany’s darkest unholy forces of death, doom and decay, NECROS CHRISTOS are amongst us again, sowing around the most morbid and satanic old school sounds of ‘necromantic’ Death Metal that is out there nowadays. I don’t care what others may say about them, but for a relatively experienced old school Death Metal consumer that I […]
I just love when hard to find demos are released in a compilation format, because either 1. some of us just didn’t have the luck to get a copy of a demo or 2. we did not get turned on to the band until way after the demos have vanished. Luckily for us Sepulchral Voice […]
The name of the band refers to that fish in South America which is known for their hunger and sharp teeth and is quite dangerous if attacks in groups. For those into extreme Metal for long time, it also refers to a song by EXODUS from their first album, and which was also the name […]
