I hate their logo. I don’t like their cover art. I just have to say the hair cut of the bass player / vocalist looks like one of the Harlem Globetrotters and reminds more of a Rap band member. And then the tag Thrash Metal attached to a band in 2013, which by the way […]
The brothers Phil and Tony Sardo have kept their band THRUSTOR going on since 1998. The guys debut album, "Night Of Fire", was originally released a year later after the formation of the band, in 1999. Then a 13 years period of silence hit THRUSTOR. Many thought the band was over. Little did they know […]
‘All great truths begin as blasphemies…’ is stated on the back cover of "Pioneers Of The Storm", the third full-length studio album of Satanic Speed / Thrash Metal hordes OMISSION. Well, let’s go with that bold manifesto onwards from this filthy and blasphemous Spanish act to find out, what more possibly they could have on […]
France has always had a pretty cool Metal scene, producing some worth hearing Metal acts for the last 3-4 decades (ADX, KILLERS, NO RETURN, etc.). And when it comes to the Thrash Metal genre in particular, I bet most of you have heard such (at least) semi-legendary names as LOUDBLAST, AGRESSOR or MASSACRA out of […]
The Australian Death Metallers ABRAMELIN are probably known to most die hard underground lunatics, but the truth is that the band never managed to estabilish their position on the European market. While we mention many US Death Metal acts in one breath, we need to think a few seconds while being asked for Australian bands, […]
We all know the old proverb of the boxing language: "They never come back!" Boxing itself proved this to be wrong more than once. As far as Death Metal is concerned, it’s completely invalid and should be changed into: "They always come back!" Sooner or later, nearly any band that recorded at least a demo […]
It’s the clash of the Titans, Death Metal style! The meeting of two legends! MASTERmind Paul Speckmann teamed up with Rogga Johansson, the man who never sleeps. With Paul singing and Rogga playing bass and guitar, there was also someone left to smash the drums. Brynjar Helgetun, another guy who never seems to rest, is […]
I’m not totally sure I understand this release. I dig the idea of bands releasing an homage to their heroes and what inspired them starting their band and influenced their music. Though only two of the tracks on this EP could have inspired EVOCATION, as one track is contemporary for the band’s formative years, and […]
A good deal of years ago, Displeased Records’ fucking cool imprint From Beyond Productions released MASTER’s "Unreleased 1985 Album" for the masses, or at least the few who were fast enough and gave a fuck about Speckmann and the first MASTER album recorded. An album that got shelved until five years later when Nuclear Blast […]
FULMINATION is one of the three cult bands of the Dalarna triumvirate (UNCANNY, INTERMENT, FULMINATION), and after the cult box of their town mates UNCANNY, now it’s the turn of FULMINATION: all their unreleased material has been waxed in a patinated quality double vinyl. The case of FULMINATION has been a strange one and common […]
