BURIALKULT – A Call From Beyond The Grave

Blood Harvest has never dissapointed my thirst for new and interesting underground bands and BURIALKULT was not going to be the exception. This Canadian combo offers plain and simple Black Metal in the old DARKTHRONE, CELTIC FROST tradition but with a tasty AURA NOIR feel to it, specially in the thrashier moments. The production fits […]

ARATIC – To The Early Grave

It’s +28 Celsius outside at 19 o’clock – and here I am tightly sitting next to my laptop, checking through a pile of discs that some people have mercifully sent out for me for reviews. Hmm, perhaps I could spend my Sunday night even a worse way although the weather is really tempting me to […]

DRENGSKAPUR – Der Urgewalten Werk

If I didn’t knew this band was from Germany, I would have signed in blood they were Eastern European. They have a quite distinctive flavor, being it the way they compose and the way they deliver the music that makes me think of early MASTER’S HAMMER although less symphonic. First, the production values are great, […]

NECROCCULTUS – Supreme Occult One… The Underground Abhorrence

Man, I can not tell how much I love these tiny little pieces of vinyl! OK, I have to admit that they are pretty expensive compared to a regular long player and if you are used to listen to CDs it’s pretty uncomfortable to listen to a release where you have to go to the […]

NECROCCULTUS – Solemnelohim, Bringer Of Death

Long time Death Metal mongers NECROCCULTUS return again after a few years since their debut album. Originally intended to be 2 separate 7” EP recordings that for one reason or another ended up cancelled in the original format, they are now presented here as one very good 12” MLP released by the mighty Blood Harvest […]

NECROPHOR – Verbum Vexillifer

Formed from the ashes of Death Metal act STORMRIDER, the first output from NECROPHOR could fit perfectly in the early 90s decade. Their similarities with the traditional acts like BATHORY, early IMMORTAL and maybe HELLHAMMER strive upon their slow to mid-tempo approach. This is no blast beat happy, hyper fast Black Metal. They actually manage […]

BACKYARD MORTUARY – Lure Of The Occult

These bloody Australians are so old fashioned! BACKYARD MORTUARY from Sydney are around for more than ten years now, having released only two demos in 2002 and 2005. Neither one of the four guys nor the girl (bass player Bianca) in this band played in any better known band before and so we have a […]

ULTRA-VIOLENCE – Privilege To Overcome

I can’t help but I really can’t get enough of that kind of music! I need my daily dose of Thrash Metal and that since almost three decades. And it even makes a lot more fun when your favourite music is done by a competent outfit as in our case here. This Italian four-piece had […]

CADAVERIC FUMES – Macabre Exaltation

Variety is the spice of life, so it’s all the better if you can regularly rotate the menu. However, the old standby, good ol’ cheeseburger and fries, is always there when you need it. There’s nothing extraordinary about a burger and fries, but more likely than not, it’ll satisfy your craving. That’s how I feel […]

ANVIL – Hope In Hell

Have you ever heard the saying: "You can’t keep a good band down"? I’m pretty sure those who invented it must have thought of ANVIL. They are around for a felt eternity right now. I remember playing their debut album "Hard’N’Heavy" for the first time on my shitty record player when I was a kid, […]
