CARCASS – Captive Bolt Pistol

Finally mighty CARCASS are celebrating their comeback on a sound recording medium. First of all with a nice 7" single release. Available in a million different colored vinyl versions, I guess. Mine is in toxic green by personal choice. Looks more like a TYPE-O-NEGATIVE release. Just kidding. The only weak thing to mention about this […]

UNSCARED – Thrash Is Dead

If you would like to know where the new WITCHBURNER vocalist Pino used to be in for the last six years then you have now the opportunity to close this gap of knowledge. First off all: don’t get fooled by the album title ’cause UNSCARED plays uncompromising old school Thrash Metal – but of course […]

BLACKWYCH – Out Of Control

To be honest: I really wasn’t familiar with Irish Metal icons BLACKWYCH before, even though they released three full-length albums between 1986 and 1989. "Out Of Control" is the debut by this quintet (created in 1984) from the green island and was originally put out by Metal Masters on vinyl only. It also seems that […]

BLOODROCUTED – Doomed To Annihilation

What the heck is going on in Belgium? Another Metal thrashing horde from our neighbours. They recently spoilt us with stuff like EVIL SHEPHERD, EVIL INVADERS or SANITY’S RAGE and now you can add this four piece from Eppegem to this list. "Doomed To Annihilation" is their debut album and offers you eight furious tracks […]

PLAGUE ANGELS – Reign In Terror

It’s quite amazing how many Thrash Metal bands emerged from the Italian underground within the last few years. It seems (extreme) Metal celebrates a new renaissance in this South European country. Another fact which makes it positive is that not only the quantity of bands increases but also the quality. After a demo in 2010 […]

ISTENGOAT – MMXII

With Chile being the birthplace of one of my favorite Metal vocalists on earth (Tom Araya), as well as being home to many killer underground bands like PROCESSION, MELEKTAUS, DOMINUS XUL, UNAUSSPRECHLICHEN KULTEN and MAGNANIMUS, I’m always eager to check out new bands from this fertile breeding ground. Well goddamn if Blood Harvest didn’t do […]

DISKORD – Doomscapes / Aural Abjection

This is a re-release of their debut "Doomscapes" from 2005 on Edgerunner Music, of which a review done by collegue Thomas Ehrmann can be found on one of these pages. He mentioned it was great, but pretty uncommon Death Metal. I can only agree with this. Imagine a musical spectrum in which the manic of […]

MUSHROOM CLOUD – In Mad Minute

Danish trio MUSHROOM CLOUD was founded in 2008 by guitarist Dmitriy Mukhamedov and drummer Simon Kristensen, and about a year later, the line-up was completed by vocalist Morten Thoft Langerhuus. A couple of demos and some intense gigging later, a welcoming door into the Danish Mighty Music was opened. The band’s music is said to […]

DEMONIC RAGE – Demo II

Like the title suggests, this is the second demo from DEMONIC RAGE, located in Chile. It features two songs in the vein of brutal Death Metal. While listening to this demo, I immediately was reminded of the first IMMOLATION album and their previous releases under the name RIGOR MORTIS. The same brutal and dark approach, […]

DEMONIC RAGE – Venomous Wine From Putrid Bodies

I’m unquestionably a fan of Chilean Death Metal!! The scene in that South American country is so awesome and the amount of first class bands such as TRIMEGISTO, DOMINUS XUL, ANCIENT CRYPTS, MAGNANIMUS, UNAUSSPRECHLICHEN KULTEN, NAR MATTARU, THY SERPENT’S CULT or almighty MELEKTAUS (just to name a few) is sheer unbelievable. DEMONIC RAGE is another […]
