Formed in 1993, it’s been a long path for FESTERGUTS to release their debut album. After 2 demo tapes and 2 EPs, finally "Heritage Of Putrescent" hits the streets via More Hate Productions. Straight from Russia, these 4 guys and gal have crafted a great debut album. The production is almost perfect. Great mix where […]
STUD is a short-lived Finnish Heavy Rock / Metal act that was founded in 1986, using their native language Finnish to get their Heavy Metal message out – and to be heard back in those days. During their career, spanning just about 3 years (1986 – 89), they did achieve a lot back in those […]
The US Satanic Heavy Metal titans SATAN’S HOST are among us again – and with their 11th full-length studio recording titled "Virgin Sails", which should surely make us feel pumped up and excited, right dear folks? SATAN’S HOST’s previous album, "By The Hands Of Devil", was throughout a superb release from these loyal disciples of […]
It’s always kinda cool to hear Metal music sung in some other language but in English. Slovakian Thrashers CATASTROFY use their native language pretty flawlessly (ha, who am I kidding here!) on their newest 5-track affair, truly making things sound a bit more special for their advantage, I must say. CATASTROFY have been around since […]
I was really not impressed by the comeback MCD "Sacrifice The King". It was one of the biggest disappointments last year and it seemed that this legendary Finnish Death Metal outfit was about to ruin its reputation of being cult which this horde aquired with their killer release "Members Of Immortal Damnation" back in 1992. […]
While many of you maniacs, readers of Voices From The Darkside, were avidly exhuming and consuming vinyl, I was a cassette freak! I bought 2 cassettes a week , my collection was close to 500 -600 cassettes at some point in the early 90s. All originals, some imported etc. So it is still a great […]
To be honest, I didn’t really look at the info about this release before pressing play, and was halfway through the album convinced about this was a re-release of yet an obscure Spanish band, that never gained the deserved attention, when the album was released during the mid-nineties, now resurrected by Dave Rotten and Xtreem […]
Sometimes, rotting evil comes along in unexpected ways. And sometimes, it even dooms you to death. UNCOFFINED from Durham, England are those unexpected guys. A four piece, consisting of members of THE OBSCENE and WINDS OF GENOCIDE, some of them also played in BLESSED REALM ages ago. Out of nothing, they are here with their […]
Wow, you need this record if you like NIFELHEIM. And "In The Sign Of Evil" – era SODOM. And another ‘puke’ band from Peru (that being ANAL VOMIT). In a nutshell, SLUTVOMIT are a malformed and deadly alloy of South American blast-tastic Black / Thrash / Grind and the chugging parts of early SODOM (i.e. […]
Important question: does the world need a Black Metal side project of HOUR OF 13 Mastermind Chad Davis? Well, I can’t speak for the whole world, but I’m pretty sure I don’t really need it yet. OLDE started in this very year 2013, when Chad Davis joined forces with Stíofán De Roiste, a.k.a Steven Roche, […]
