Formed back in 2001, this Lithuanian band releases their second album and I am blown away. But in fact I was expecting this. They released in 2009 one of the best albums I have heard in the Death / Black Metal realm with “Jaučiant Pabaigą Arti” truly a masterpiece, which I cannot praise enough. Maybe […]
If you see the cover art you might as well think this band plays some sort of mechanical Death Metal. But this is actually some sort of the Australian band DUNGEON using a new and very unoriginal name. Still, for what I remember DUNGEON, this new band is doing a very similar style. This is […]
They seem to have come from out of nowhere, yet here they are: INGENIUM, a trio from Trondheim, Norway. Trying to find out more, I only detected that these guys are around as a band since 2009, but without any notable history. None of these guys played in any other band and no stuff has […]
This Italian band has already put a decent discography together. Formed in 2004, they’ve released the two demos "Winter Rehearsal" and "Rising From Abyss" (both from 2005), the EP "Eclipse" and three split albums "The Army Of Chaos" (2007), "Vidharr / Ovskum / Mørke / Gremory / Deathrow" (2010) and "Cold Journey Through Madness" (2011) […]
Although I’m sure some reviewers get sadistic joy from giving negative reviews, let me assure you that I get very little pleasure from it. After all, I was in a Death Metal band myself, and I know first-hand about the struggle: tedious rehearsals of the same songs again and again, toleration of cokehead / alcoholic […]
PEKLA is a new Lithuanian band that stands out from the usual crop of young bands with their seasoned vocalist Antanas Dailide who has been doing his earnest Udo Dirkschneider impersonation and delivering a hell heated performances around local stages. Their debut album "Degsit" ("You Will Burn") contains 10 tracks of high octane Heavy Speed […]
If you already appreciated the evolution JUNGLE ROT showed on their 2011 effort "Kill On Command” then you’ll truely don’t have to hesitate in giving this 7th album a warm embraced moshing welcome. “Terror Regime” comes up even more with shitloads of Thrash influences and vocalwise founding member David Matrise continues the way of getting […]
Seventh long player by Saxonian Death Metal warmachine PURGATORY, one of the oldest still existing, no compromise Metal of Death acts from Germany. All of you who are familar with their previous releases, especially the highly acclaimed “Luciferianism” album from 2004, know that this four piece stick to their guns and never change their formula […]
Since this was my first encounter with VESTAL CLARET, I had to do some research. Especially after finding that "Bloodbath" had been released back in 2011 on another label. The guys from the band had a lot of guests in every department and the recording is different to their debut album reviewed here. I really […]
New releases are flocking to catch my attention these days, together with a lot of other things, so when I listen to an album and I’m not caught immediately, it can be quite tough to pick it up for an additional listen. That was more or less how the encounter with this release from DETHRONE […]
