While everyday brings its bunch of unrealised or re-released recordings from bands that most of the time didn’t put their mark onto the scene and simply should be buried and forgotten considering how weak they were, here comes finally one that had to be done after all this time and will hopefully pave the way […]
The fact that this re-issue already marks its 20th anniversary now really makes me feel old… But my memories on this incredible debut full-length by Canada’s SACRIFICE are still surprisingly fresh. I actually easily recall how excited I was when I took the vinyl import-version home for the first time back in those days, which […]
I gotta confess that I found out about the existence of SACRIFICE’s third full-length "Soldiers Of Misfortune" extremely late back then… In fact, I bought the original CD version sometime in the mid 90s, simply because the local record store (where I usually picked up a lot of my import albums) didn’t carry the album […]
The small, but very fine Brazilian label Marquee Records is doing an extremely great job for quite a few years already, but when it comes to the dedication they put into re-releasing the back catalogue of Canada’s Thrash legend SACRIFICE, they even managed to surpass their already very high own standards! The deluxe treatment that […]
Another one-man project, from Leeds in the United Kingdom this time. Theta, who started his project in 2012, is the man behind MISERIA VISAGE. Since that day, he released a one-song single and contributed two songs to the "Tribune Of Shadow" compilation on Three Rooks. But these songs are all featured here as well. Like […]
What do you do, when you obviously have too much energy to spare? When two bands are not enough? You form a third one, of course. Max Neira and Felipe Zará from Santiago de Chile must be musicians with lots of energy. Both of them are active in INANNA and TRIMEGISTO, Felipe is also the […]
This German trio has a soft spot for HELLHAMMER and CELTIC FROST (therefore a very suitable monicker). This is clearly expressed in their appearance as well as in the four tunes that are featured on "Apocalyptic Frostpunk". Punk is definitely a big part of their music, resulting in a very simplistic and minimalistic riff-repeated approach. […]
Every so often I like to take a few days off of drinking coffee for the sole purpose of really "feeling it" on that fateful day when I finally end my fast with a cup of the black gold. My most recent stint came to a halt yesterday morning while I listened to MORGENGRAU’s "Extrinsic […]
German Metal act BEISSERT managed to drop my jaw open; if not completely wide open then wide open anyway by sheer amazement what an exciting musical formula they have found for their 3rd album "Darkness: Devil: Death" already. They obviously haven’t taken things for granted on their latest opus when it comes to combining some […]
So much Doom already in the name of the record company and in the title of the album – is there any escape from Doom here? Definitely not! EVANGELIST is a band from Cracow, Poland, whose members are and want to remain unknown. Let the music do the talking, so to say. "Doominicanes" is their […]
