Sometimes it’s not that easy to write about a record of a band you never heard of. KOZELJNIK is such a case. We have a duo from Serbia here, consisting of singer / guitarist / bassist Kozeljnik, who’s also active in MAY RESULT and THE STONE, and L.G., the drummer of both bands. Since 2006 […]
A new and fresh sounding Thrash Metal machine from Poland, combining the best parts of Bay Area Thrash anno late 80s and start 90s, sporting it full blown as we speak, a fresh breath or old and dusty reruns? Drive, force, power and great and classic Thrash Metal riffing is what the Polish four piece […]
Bored of being in a band and having no full control? Start your own band! No apparent comrades-in-arms available? Do everything yourself! That would obviously mean, you do another one-man-project. Now I heard too much wishy-washy, keyboard-overloaded stuff by those one-man-projects to become really excited about the next one. But DEATHCULT is, thank Lemmy, not […]
Somewhere in the United Kingdom, some guys started a band, recorded and released an album and left us listeners without any kind of extra information. To compile facts: "Denouement" is the first album by ABYSSAL, released in 2012 by the band itself and recently re-released by Hellthrasher Productions. In the meantime, the band already released […]
French Black Metal heroes AOSOTH are back with a new album, titled "IV: An Arrow In Heart". The band’s previous album, simply titled as "III", was the first outing that I had personally heard from this trio, and it left me kinda hungry for more. AOSOTH ain’t really any of your typical, norse and grim […]
BONES is a three piece act from the Chicago scene that is comprised of Joe "Apocalyptic Warlord" Schaeffer on drums, "Carcass Chris" Svoboda on guitars and Jon "Necromancer" Woodring on vocals / bass. These guys not only gained a lot of past experiences in bands like USURPER, THE DEAD YOUTH, ETERNAL HATRED, KOMMANDANT and NACHTMYSTIUM […]
Usually if someone throws some Metal tagged as Black / Thrash at me I tend to react with an ironic “Yeah!!! Another Black / Thrash act!” as a couple of years back every hardly talented musician with serious problems in handling an instrument properly was doing Black Metal, nowadays I often have the impression that […]
This one is for all those Crust heads here! KILLBITE is a new band from Bremen, Germany. The core of the band is identical to local Punk heroes KOMMANDO KAP HOORN, with Mick (guitars), U.Lee (bass) and Herb (drums). But since U.Lee didn’t want to do the vocals again, they got a guy called Latex […]
ARATRON are somehow the jinxes of the Dutch Death Metal scene. Any time they were ready to cause serious damage, massive line-up problems stopped them from getting really started. After the band was put on hold several times, the last remaining members Ronald (vocals) and Maurice (bass) decided to continue the band as a project […]
A RAINBOW review in VOICES? Yeah, because I am the law… and apart from that the early days of this band still kick major ass, so stop complaining folks! 30 years ago, Ritchie Blackmore’s RAINBOW played their first ever world tour and impressed the audiences with blistering performances each night. To celebrate this anniversary there’s […]
