If we will forget for one moment about the amazing first two DARK FUNERAL albums, then probably most fans of this Swedish Black Metal horde will list "Angelus Exuro Pro Eternus" as their favorite release in their discography. Originally released in 2009 as their fifth album, the output brings nine cold and extreme hymns, which […]
"…here comes another one!" as sung by KING DIAMOND in one of the songs on "The Spider’s Lullabye". Century Media recently reissued the DARK FUNERAL back catalogue, so we are also getting a new version of their fourth studio album, originally released in 2005. It wasn’t a good time for the band as they were […]
From the very depths of Malaysia, namely Kuala Lumpur, the four guys of MALAPETAKA are presenting their first demo. The name MALAPETAKA can be translated with the term ‘disaster’ or, to be more specific, this old Sanskrit word means ‘the resultant actions of greatly sinful activities’. Understood? The band is active since 2009 and honestly, […]
Basically reissues are a good thing, at least in most cases. Sometimes it sucks, when labels just try to milk the fans, and give absolutely nothing (anyone seen the current KING DIAMOND, DEICIDE or OBITUARY reissues from Roadrunner?) – but in the case of DARK FUNERAL it makes sense, as the Swedish Black Metal machine […]
Two years ago, when "Human Remains" was coming out, one smart guy said that "the album the devil was dreaming about has been finally recorded". So the question is – will the devil be proud again? The answer is: yes. "Curse & Chapter" surely won’t generate so many discussions and emotions like the previous album, […]
Another DIO live album, only one year after the release of "Evil Or Divine: Live In New York City"? Yeah, because this is a rather special one and should not to seen as the usual greatest hits type of collection. On October 22, 1995 DIO played a show at the Astoria Theatre in London, where […]
For those who are not aware, Metal Inquisition Records are a sub label of No Colours Records. Or at least it seems like that. Whereas the colorless one deals strictly with Black Metal, the inquisitors covers Death and Thrash Metal. And to be honest, they do it with class with some obscure, yet very good […]
A multinational Death squad, that after releasing a very solid album with none other than the mighty Kam Lee, once vocalist for DEATH and MASSACRE. This new EP with 5 invocations of cadavers covers absolutely no new ground, yet it is well done if maybe a bit too modern sounding like in ’Once Upon A Murderess’. […]
I have to confess that besides SALEM and ORPHANED LAND, I had never heard any other Metal bands from Israel. Yes, I know, shame on me. But I would have swore that PROMISCUITY was from any other country but their own. This pro-copied demo tape (yes, it is out in tape format) has a raw […]
I did the review for Israel’s own PROMISCUITY’s debut demo tape "Infernal Rock’n’Roll" for VFTD back in 2011. A demo tape full of Punk-ish Speed Metal infused with a lethal dose of Black Metal. And here we are in 2013, with their second release, the self-financed "Basic Instinct" EP. And there are no drastic changes […]
