German Death Metal band SLAUGHTERDAY formed in 2010 and now unleashd their debut album, which by the name you can guess, deals with death, slaughter, horror and at times histories of the cult of the ancient ones. Musically speaking, and as the name implies, there is a heavy dose of AUTOPSY and more than once […]
UK’s ANIHILATED that was formed way back in 1981 already (at first they existed under the PROSPEX moniker back in 1981 – 82), has said to be the English answer to the American most known SLAYER – and I don’t wonder this SLAYER comparison a bit at all if the band’s new album, titled "iDeviant", […]
2013 continues to surprise with late-in-the-year killer albums, and this 6th record from Czech Republic Black Metallers INFERNO is no exception! I admittedly have been a harsh critic of Black Metal in the past few years. There’s too many cases of ’empty-suit syndrome’, that is, bands that ‘have the look’ and can play great, but […]
Supposedly this Slovenian Thrash Metal act named THRAW has decided since day one it’s gonna be the old school of Thrash Metal – or no school at all. THRAW have been around since 2006, and have recorded a handful of demos (the band’s 1st three demos were released on a demo compilation CD titled "3D […]
Spanish DP (THE YTRIPLE CORPORATION, ex – NEVERDIE) and Phlegeton (BANISHED FROM INFERNO, GODÜS, THE YTRIPLE CORPORATION, WORMED, etc.) teamed up with each other in 2012 in order to create something special in terms of making a perfect match with some ideas and visions Black Metal wise. The result out of these sessions was a […]
Formed in 2005, drawing its main influences from such names as DARK ANGEL, EXODUS, KREATOR, etc. – and having a strong intention to bring Metal back to its very roots – and the roots of Thrash Metal in particular. This was something that these 5 guys in the Australian Thrash Metal combo METREYA, did have […]
Black Metal reigns supreme… grimness, coldness and darkness are all here again. It’s that time of the season when listening to some pitch-Black Metal feels more comfortable than, let’s say, in the middle of summer when the sun is up and never seems to descend behind the horizon, birds are singing nonstop – and the […]
So, Spanish Thrashers AGRESIVA decided to put out a new 4-song EP instead of another full-length studio album. This may be a clear indication what’s to come from them in the near future, I suppose. The "Chronophobia" EP introduces a bit more rougher sounding Spanish Thrash quintet this time. Especially the guitars’ tone is way […]
Water-damaged discs are always a bit more challenging to review… I mean, if you also want to have a look at lyrics (if they have some included) besides the music – just to get a better insight about things that are revolved around bands even lyrically. Spanish Thrashers AGRESIVA’s debut album, "Eternal Foe", which they […]
DEROGATORY from California is another underground hopeful playing old school Death Metal. After a melodic intro the first punch comes in form of ‘Into The Depth Of Time’ reminding me of good old DEICIDE or MORBID ANGEL. The blast beasts support the technical riff massacre changing speed from slow to fast, back to slow again. […]
