Holy hell! 9 songs and over 70 minutes long is the new, sophomore album by Finnish deathers LIE IN RUINS whose debut “Swallowed By The Void” (2009) quickly corrupted many souls with its powerful blend of their home country’s typical gloom and AUTOPSY-like wickedness and morbidity. On “Towards Divine Death” the musical direction has not […]
This might be the darkest, most oppressive piece of Death Metal barbarity to be unleashed upon this world in 2014! “Svn Eater” is probably not easily digestible for everyone, but from its maelstrom of pitch black lava there shall be no escape, no return to the hordes of irrelevant, uninspired bands in this genre. Listen […]
Once in a while one just have to surrender when a new record hits the stereo. I was kind of skeptical when this album was being presented as the band of ex – BLASPHEMY guitarist Marco Banco (The Traditional Sodomizer of the Goddess of Perversity), and I am pretty sure I had my hands on […]
RIGORISM comes from Russia. They were formed in 1996 – and they have got 3 albums out thus far. Currently the band is on hold, and let me say this they can gladly continue for being on hold. The band’s 3rd and last recording so far, "The Source Of Suffering", is unfortunately a bad attempt […]
This album was already released four years ago in 2009 and I have no clue why it took so long to contact Voices From The Darkside for a review. But do not worry, you have missed – nothing. The best thing about the band is the nicely drawn band-logo, but that’s it. My first thought […]
It’s a true fact that Death Metal is very alive and well at the moment. Old bands are revived, new bands come to light in legions. With ORDO INFERUS we have another new band. But in fact, they are old hands, with all due respect. This intercontinental band consists of Hempa Brynolfsson (EXCRUCIATE), Daryl Kahan […]
Eastern European countries have been producing many promising yet even great sounding Metal acts over the years, and finding all of these true, most potential gems out of them, is like trying to find a needle from the haystack really. With enough hard work, some good findings can be made. OF CELESTIAL, this symphonic sounding […]
Russian band PYRE attacks on this CD version of the vinyl MLP released by Blood Harvest, and in this digital format you can find a very well done SLAUGHTER cover, done very much in the style of PYRE, which is morbid Death Metal, which recalls bands like early UNLEASHED and more recent bands like KAAMOS […]
Russian Black Metal band formed in 2006, releasing their second album, and does this sound of greatness. The overall production is simply fantastic and adept to the style without being too polished as sounding plastic. The use of their native language adds that exotic touch only eastern European bands can achieve this way. Now for […]
The band name is wrong. It should be SANTA MUERTE. But then again, who cares, we get the message. MUERTE… death… holy death… or doom death I should say. Coming from Australia, this debut recording went directly to be released by Dark Descent Records that are slowly becoming a force to be recognized by releasing […]
