For all those into the stuff N.W.77 released up to now, this EP won’t offer anything new. It’s a digital release of their tracks from the split EP with AGAMENON PROJECT, which means we have fine stuff like ‘Freeloader’ or ‘Broken Teeth’ again, but this time it’s not combined with some more or less redundant […]
Brazil’s old school Crossover beasts NUCLEAR WEAPON 77 (or N.W.77 for short) are back. Two years after their first offer, the EP "Doomsday Countdown", they bring us new stuff fresh from the school of 1987. This time they did a split mini CD, that is extremely limited to only 100 physical copies. Four new tracks […]
I hadn’t come across FEROCITY yet, so I was pleasantly surprised by their latest output "The Sovereign". According to the band, their heavy focus on grind and blastbeats is strongly owed to their latest addition, Nikolaj Kjærgaard, on the drums. Apart from that intense and brutal aspect in the Danish guys’ sound, they don’t neglect […]
Dispensable is in the name, but indispensable is the game. DEVASTATION are an oft celebrated band of the old Death Metal scene. This boxset comprises of 3 single CDs that virtually contain everything DEVASTATION ever recorded, from the demos, to live recordings done in 1986 and 1987, and the previously unreleased full-length, "Dispensable Bloodshed". The […]
Four Thrashers from Belgium joined forces to pay tribute to the glorious old School Thrash Metal movement of the 80s. Having started their trade still as a traditional Metal outfit under the moniker BLACK FUEL in 2004 the band changed its musical direction and the name into DEVASTATION two years later. Rehearsals became obviously more […]
HYSTERIC SPEED FUCKIN’ METAL MAYHEM HAS ARRIVED!!! Oooh F**K yeaaahh…!!! It’s right here, exclusively served by one of my very favorite new bands of the whole millennium, Finnish Speed merchants and Thrash bangers RANGER. RANGER’s ‘only-vinyl’ release "Knights Of Darkness", contains 5 songs all in all, off which 2 songs are taken from the band’s […]
BLITZKRIEG are back with a new album. Over one hour this NWOBHM legend delivers classic Metal tunes and doesn’t get boring for a second! It’s amazing that 33 years after the band’s founding year they’re still relevant unlike so many others. From fast aggressive stuff to semi ballads you can find everything on this CD […]
Finland’s Death / Thrash Metal troops THE JASSER ARAFATS (what a hilarious band name, by the way) managed to make a decent impression on me with their 2010 debut album titled “Condemnation”, showcasing some very violent sounding mixture of both modern Death and Thrash Metal, even if lacking in the originality’s department slightly though. Since […]
Nothing can beat traditional Doom Metal… with all those warm, organic and honest ingredients making space for some great musical experiences to come. Do you love BLACK SABBATH? What about bands like TROUBLE, PENTAGRAM, CANDLEMASS, ST. VITUS and the likes? Well, just thought so. Me too… The guys in the Swedish Doom patrol STONEGRIFF surely […]
Remember the days, when the term "Crossover" wasn’t used to describe nearly any music that mixes two or more styles? When this word didn’t mean lame Rap with distorted guitars or some other wishy washy shit like that? Yes, I mean the glorious times of my youth, when bands like D.R.I., EXCEL, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES or […]
