This is it! This is without a doubt the ultimate edition of NECROMANIAC zine! Not only because it comes up with more pages than ever before (136 this time!!!), it also has the necessary visual aspects to make every old school Death Metal lunatic cry out in joy! Editor Thomas has grown a lot (!!) […]
All those with a weak heart should read another review now! And all those, who are into technical stuff, should do the same. AGGRESSIVE MUTILATOR – the name sounds familiar, just like these guys were around as far back as the 1980s. But it was just two years ago that they started their campaign against […]
Killing for booze… I have nothing to lose, except my beloved booze, Gambina. The Finnish sort of ‘cult-ish’ Hardcore / ‘Surmacore’ (i.e. Thrashcore) heroes RYTMIHÄIRIÖ (a Finnish work for arrhythmia) are back with their 6th studio album titled "Todellisuuden Mestari", which is a Finnish translation straight taken from SAB’s "Master Of Reality" album. However, RYTMIHÄIRIÖ […]
An invasion of new Finnish Death Metal bands continues victoriously. Enter LANTERN that is basically a sole creation of Mr. Cruciatus, who plays all instruments on the band’s debut studio album by himself, only vocals being handled by Mr. Necrophilos. So, the obvious question is what is this LANTERN then all about? Well, feel free […]
With an inundation of feeble new old school Death Metal bands, it’s always great to have a lost force from the past roar back from the grave and stomp them under-heel. IMPRECATION released the cult-classic CD "Theurgia Goetia Summa" in 1995, which was a compilation of early recordings, and then disbanded in ’98. Members from […]
Besides making the best beer in the world, Czechia also has the biggest ratio of coolest Death and Grind bands per person, I’m sure of that, people there love their Metal and the more crazier it is, the better. Don’t believe me? Just go and check the "Obscene Extreme" festival and shut up forever. So […]
Before you go on reading… Heed the warning! This one has not really much to do with Metal in common or Death or Black Metal in particular. I AM ESPER is the band of New Jersey musician Justin Palmieri, who is or was also member in the Ambient Black Metal bands BLACK ANTLERS and BEYOND […]
During the last years, places once extremely exotic for extreme Metal bands have become more and more a standard. So I wasn’t that surprised to hear about DAMOKIS, a Grindcore band from Johor in Malaysia. Starting to research, I found out that there seems to be a pretty huge scene in Malaysia for extreme music […]
Us humans tend to adore a word so much that we overuse it to the point of meaninglessness. "Epic" is one that I’m reluctant to add to this list, yet every time I hear it used to describe a hamburger or something, I can’t help but wish we’d take it back to old days when […]
There’s something going on in Slovenia. I mean it’s really remarkable how many bands have emerged lately from the underground of this small European country. It seems the scene has been in a kind of slumber but now it is ready to explode. Even labels from abroad show more and more interest in the country’s […]
