Since Jon’s DISSECTION does not exist anymore, someone needed to continue their legacy for making a musical journey into the same epic, pitch-black and chilling musical world of the aforementioned disbanded Swedes. Let’s welcome the Swiss STORTREGN – and also welcome the band’s 2nd album titled "Evocation Of Light", where all the journey begins regarding […]
Is it just me, or is the year 2013 ‘back-loaded’ with the best music? The first half of the year was a little "eh", but as we’re tilting towards winter, all the killer shit seems to be coming out (GRAVE MIASMA, LVCIFYRE, NOCTURNAL GRAVES, UNHOLY LUST)… At any rate, you can count this new EP […]
"First Light" is the highly appreciated debut album of NOMAD SON, a real stepping stone for these Malaysian Doomsters to get their pickaxes cut in a rock. I am not going to re-visit that album any more, and write a review for it because I did already review it for another publication, like 3 years […]
Being original and unique in Metal music in general, deserves certain amounts of respect in terms of plain musical achievements, I mean. It’s proven many times that it’s really damn difficult for bands to be original sounding nowadays; in reality, everything’s basically been done already – and inventing something totally new music wise (and not […]
More raw brute force from MASTER (CZ)… or is that USA? Paul Speckmann might object. No, this 2005 album features the long-standing Czech-based line-up in the service of its American born, erm, Master. Gnarly, massive, twisting Death Metal riffs culling from a long and ancient vein in the Metal mountain, total heavy power from start […]
Any type of so-called progressive music in itself is, sort of, a challenge for every musician to play – and if you happen to mix huge doses of progressiveness with (modern) Thrash Metal sound – which typically is full of hard riff fests, it’s gonna be even a bit harder nut to be broken. Spanish […]
Each one of us precious snowflakes has their own way to blow off steam so I don’t want to assume you end a work week pouring a beer on your head and jumping into a punishing pit of thrashy-death catharsis, but you probably do. I can’t blame you really, there’s nothing quite like being pissed […]
The long and lost "Chain Of Command" album, that was recorded back in 1987 and officially released by Century Media in 2004 in a limited run, has now again seen the light of day on behalf of the German resurrector of dusty Metal gems High Roller Records. After a quite good start JAG PANZER saw […]
This one is an interesting release even though it might maybe just appeal to a small part of our readers. Music from the land of the rising sun is often quite extraordinary and doesn’t follow the usual stereotypes we are used to be familiar with. MERGING MOON has its headquarters in Tokyo and made its […]
CORPSET is a modern sounding Finnish Death / Thrash Metal outfit that has been creating some noise since 2009, having a debut album of theirs recorded in 2009, called "Ruins". CORPSET (which English translated would be simply ‘Corpses’) really didn’t make THAT big impression on the worldwide Metal media with "Ruins", the album lacking in […]
