I consider myself a big fan of CARCASS, though I guess the guys in SICKNESS are bigger fans of the Brits, as they have laid their approach to music and expression quite close the legends. Albums as "Symphonies Of Sickness", "Necroticism – Descanting The Insalubrious" and "Tools Of The Trade" must have been in heavy […]
Wow, are these the Philippines’ NUNSLAUGHTER? While not longer around than since 2003 this four-piece has already a discography counting some 20+ releases yet only one full-length namely “Wreaking Fear And Death” which I’m going to tell you a bit more about in a minute, but first I got the band name of the week […]
Usually I rather prefer doing only handpicked reviews as – without wanting to sound arrogant – my time and ears are too precious to be wasted on any of the generic noise or utter crap that is being thrown upon mankind in weekly, maybe even daily terms. Originally all INCAPACITATE band members come from the […]
Finnish icon-smashers and grave desecrators SACRILEGIOUS IMPALEMENT have come to the point of getting their 3rd full-length studio album out, titled aptly "III – Lux Infera", spitting out 9 new venomous and unceremoniously lethal tracks that just couldn’t contain more wickedness in them. Formed in 2006, SACRILEGIOUS IMPALEMENT have made a long Satanic crusade on […]
SWOLLEN EYE VIEW, this Finnish Death / Thrash Metal act that has been around since 2008, nearly hits the jackpot on the band’s new, 2nd EP, "Art Of War". If the band’s previous release, "Perpetual Slaughter", leaned more to the old school Death Metal style, on the "Art Of War" EP they sink their claws […]
This is the return and second effort by GOTSU TOTSU KOTSU, the masters of Samurai Metal as the band members label their music by themselves. This makes actually sense as it is the name of an ancient Samurai and the lyrical themes are based on the history of these warriors in general. Maybe the monicker […]
After at least a somewhat impressive debut album titled "Die Harder", which they self-released back in 2011, the Finnish Thrashers UNHOPED hit us hard again, with their new 5-track EP called "Nuclear Death". Well, maybe putting this band just under the Thrash Metal category, doesn’t do justice for describing the band’s violent sound well enough. […]
This is the second EP effort by this English trio and all I have to say is that their stuff seriously kicks ass. The sound of DECEPTOR can’t be labelled so easy and that’s already a big plus. It clearly worships the glorious 80s but it is not a lame copy as the skills and […]
The four piece SEPTEMBER MURDER is around for quite a while now. Hailing from Thale at the edge of the Harz Mountains, deep in the heart of Germany, they released an EP and a full-length album to date. "He Who Invokes Decadence" is their second album, the first stuff I heard of them, and I […]
NUCLEAR OMNICIDE, this 4-piece Finnish Thrash Metal act, was formed in 2010 when the members of the band all were about 15 – 16 years old. These young Thrashers’ main passion was to play Thrash Metal of the most aggressive and relentless kind. In the fall of 2011, the guys went to record their 6-track […]
