PROCESSION – To Reap Heavens Apart

Something about Chile’s PROCESSION screams Metal. It is nothing so shallow as studded belts and aviator sunglasses or Ed Repka cover art. Sure, the quality and delivery of their music contributes to this essence, but there is that extra, elusive ‘something’ that denotes a true mark of Metal quality – perhaps it is authentic passion. […]

MOMENT OF DETONATION – The Legacy They Left Us With

This five track EP, if we count in the intro, is the debut release for this German band, venturing into the world of Melodic Death Metal or Deathcore if you will. Completed with heavy riffing lifted by melodic leads as the driving force together with the effective rhythm patterns. The flow of the tracks are […]

PSYCHOSIS – By Our Hand

Woah… something worth my attention and interest here again: PSYCHOSIS all the way from LA, California. PSYCHOSIS’ whole history dates back to 1988 when they were formed. PSYCHOSIS released their debut album "Lifeforce" in 1992, collecting a nice amount of positive reviews for themselves. Then, due to popularity of Grunge and a number of other […]

DESECRATE – At The Edge Of Sanity

From LA, California, has always come a countless amount of funky sounding Metal bands over the years – and this 4-piece act DESECRATE hasn’t rung my bells before. The fact, however is, they have been around more than 10 years by now, released one EP and a couple of full-length albums on their own. The […]

WAR-HEAD – Still No Signs Of Armageddon

I haven’t been able to check out the band’s music up to now and I am quite happy that I finally had the chance to listen to their stuff. This trio from Croatia (formed in 2002) was rather active as well on the live sector. The squad supported amongst others WARBRINGER (2010), EURE ERBEN (ex […]

GRIMFORST – Friede Herrscht, Wo Nichts Mehr Lebt

Is there any Black Metal in Austria? Yes, ABIGOR from Vienna are probably the best known Black Metal band from the tiny country in the Alps. But there are many more. For example GRIMFORST, who try to spice their vision of Black Metal with German lyrics. Which isn’t always the best idea… Active since 2003, […]

JUST BEFORE DAWN – Precis Innan Gryningen

“Just Before Dawn” is what the meaning of the title is in English, and in war, just before dawn is where you usually attack the enemy, as no one are ready for an attack that early, even though all battle plans works with such attacks. And as the band name and the title suggest, this […]

VARIOUS ARTISTS – Strong As Steel – A Tribute To Anvil

While it’s a distant memory, I vaguely recall someone saying or perhaps yelling something about a concept called "spirit"; it was probably at a high school pep rally or something. Then, spirit was an intangible term they threw around with those of us who aren’t getting MVP trophies or winning championships to somehow get us […]

DARK ELITE – Enter The Void

DARK ELITE is a new band on the map of the Finnish extreme Metal scene that features 4 musicians that have gained quite much band experience in such bands as BATTLELORE, AVATHAR, KHERT-NETER and so on. DARK ELITE represents sort of the most extreme end of all Metal genres, combining elements from Death, Black and […]

After a 4 track demo and a 3 track EP these guys are presenting us their first full-length recording "Pieces Of A Decade" now. On the new 11 songs they are playing an energetic intersection of Modern Metal, Thrash Metal, Hardcore and a […]
