This German band was apparently formed back in 2008 as a side project by the bass player of the Doom / Stoner band WIGHT. So, taken that on consideration, one would hardly expect the kind of music this band creates. FALLEN TYRANT is a very competent Black Metal band in the fullest sense, and reminds […]
Irish three-piece ZOM already sounded f**king savage on their demo recordings but this raw beast of an EP attacks with even sharper talons and a ravenous hunger that should devour any friend of blackened Death Metal not sounding like some standardized War Metal or Bestial Black or Goat Metal or basically regurgitated Grindcore recorded in […]
Metal from Belgium always occupied just a small space in my own personal metallic Hall Of Fame. But the bands who made it there I really enjoyed a lot and they always find their way to get a spin either on my turntable or CD player even after all those years. Just think of superb […]
I think there can’t be a more suitable record label name for this album as "Suffering Is The Seed" is absolute a total sonic blast. I don’t know why but Death Metal bands from Colombia didn’t attract me that much in the past except a few hordes… and this squad from Manizales is one of […]
Another quite new name here: CELEBRATE HATE is a north Hessian three-piece, already around since 1999 but hasn’t blown up much dust yet. Up to now, only one demo decorates their vita, "From The Deaf, For The Deaf", released in 2009. Now they’re out to change that fact with a brand new demo, entitled "Nordhessisch […]
Ex-members of AGENT STEEL, i.e. Bernie Versailles on vocals and guitar, Juan Garcia on 2nd guitar, Robert Cardenas on bass and Rigo Amezcua on drums, decided to continue under the MASTERS OF METAL moniker as there were some unsolved conflicts going on with AGENT STEEL’s original vocalist John Cyriis and the remaining members of the […]
Despise the fact that guitarist and mastermind Ricardo Oliveira had to wait a couple years for the right members, he was finally able to put together a stable line-up with Marcos de Canha (vocals), Guilherme Momesso (bass) and Humberto Zambrin (drums). And the "Darkness" EP is their first proper release. 4 tracks well rooted in […]
Slovenia is pretty much unfamiliar territory Metal wise for me. Over the course of my tenure in the Metal scene, I must have stumbled across one or two Grindcore bands from there, and that’s about it. This ARMAROTH EP comes as a complete surprise and most likely after the first few minutes I was convinced […]
One of the finest, yet probably underrated, French Metal exports in my opinion, has been this French act known as NO RETURN that has been around since 1984 (as EVIL POWER) but changed their name to the current moniker in 1989. NO RETURN’s first 2 albums have also been more or less hard to find […]
Putrid Death Metal from Chile is what this band throws at our ears, a barbaric and brutal tour de force of chaos and darkness, summoned from the depths of obscurity and doom. PUTRID EVOCATION has a killer guitar tone and some parts that remind my of another band, a band that lingers in limbo in […]
