1991 was the most emblematic and, possibly, the most productive year when it comes to Death Metal classics. I don’t remember any other year as prolific for the genre as that one. The list is long – huge, in fact! Just to name some more relevant releases: “Blessed Are The Sick”, “Mental Funeral”, “Cursed”, “Considered […]
ASSASSIN is one of my favorite German Thrash Metal bands from the ‘80s, a cult name from the Ruhr area, the heart of the Teutonic scene. These guys from Düsseldorf released two killer demos in 1985 and 1986 (“Holy Terror” and “The Saga Of Nemesis”), two great products that gave them the chance to sign […]
Swedish Death Metal from the graveyard! PUTRIFIED are a Death Metal band from Stockholm and “Death Darkness Decay” is their first full-length, although they have been active since 2010 with two demos and two EPs behind. The cover is very evocative and actually anticipates the sulfurous atmosphere found within the album. The Swedish Death Metal […]
When you listen to AT WAR, you know what you gonna get: straightforward, no-bullshit old school Thrash, always with martial and sometimes with controversial lyrics. The band that introduced a female Nazi concentration camp guard into Heavy Metal on their first album (‘Ilsa – She-Wolf Of The S. S.’ from their debut “Ordered To Kill”, […]
This is a new EP from this Belgian band, that already has several releases on the market and is carving out a place within the underground scene. I imagine many of you already know them and have heard something from SLAUGHTER MESSIAH. They play Thrash / Black / Death Metal, very much in the style […]
The Polish underground Metal scene has always been very prolific. Not only in terms of numbers, but definitely in quality. It is not surprising to me to be completely delighted whenever I have the opportunity to either go back and play the classics or when a new gem comes in to my ears. And I […]
“Extinction Protocol” is the first full-length album – after a demo and two split – released by PRIMITIVE WARFARE, a pretty intense Black / Death Metal duo from South Carolina. These guys play typical War Metal, but with a touch of furious brutal Death / Grind too, especially concerning the drumming. PRIMITIVE WARFARE leave nothing […]
Are you in a rush? Don’t worrry! You only need 12 minutes 38 seconds to get a dose of two old school Death Metal bands today. HEXORCIST from the United States and MORBID MESSIAH from Mexico. Two bands that have been around the last four and eight years respectively. Last April, 2023, they released this […]
Can we take a moment to look at this cover? It is a spectacular cover and I literally took a few minutes to look at all the details of it. Now, moving onto KÖNIGREICHSSAAL, what we have here is their second full-length released on Godz Ov War Productions, the band itself plays an interesting mix […]
“Incineration Victory” is the first ever release by the Swedish band GRAVE HERESY who play traditional aggressive Black / Death Metal to perfection. Vocals like wolf howls in the northern forests, relentless drumming and solos like early MORBID ANGEL, this band has got it all. The album opens with an intro track that sets up […]
