Germany’s Death Metal squadron FEARER unfortunately is no more, but mainman Tom Zorn (guitar / vocals) has already assembled a new line-up (partly of the disbanded BK49) and returns to the scene as WEAK ASIDE now. The band’s previously released promo still came out under the SPEARHEAD banner, but from what I’ve understood the name […]
Here we have crazy Finnish bastards going by the name SCARECROW with their 3rd full-length album ‘Flesheaters". Yummy! Right from the get go they unleash high octane, fast and uncompromising Horror Punk! Catchy as a fuckin’ STD, rough and sleazy in all the right places, SCARECROW pummel though 12 tracks with such delicious names as […]
What could be the reason to write a review about a 3 year old recording? There are 2 reasons: first up it’s a damned good CD and 2nd reason is that I heard their new song ‘Cold, Bleak And Dead’ to be featured on the "Resurrected In Festering Slime" compilation. This song forced my interest […]
After a few church bells, a crying kid and a little bit of dark synth, we get a boring riff, just before we are being blown into a maniacal riff-inferno that could have been "Transilvanian Hunger" worthy, together with a grim and low rasp that follows the Black Metal oriented atmosphere really well, through out […]
After a live demo tape and 2 EPs, French DEATH AGONY unleashes their debut album "Carcinogenic Memories". A crushing piece of Death Metal. One would expect influences from other acts from France, since their scene has had big names in the history of Metal. But, curious enough, I didn’t find any. And the guys seem […]
On this sweet 7" EP German Death Metal bands OBSCURE INFINITY and DEATHRONATION have teamed up to deliver us two exclusive recently recorded tracks not available elsewhere. Does that mean both songs suck too hard to be included on their regular releases? Hell no! Both songs underline that these bands are fine servants to the […]
Danish Thrash Metal trio that has been around since 2005, won "Rock The Nation Award 2012", got the legendary Peter Tägtren to produce their follow-up album "Last Night Of Solace" – and who surprisingly sound a lot like a modern-day KREATOR; thanks mainly due to Lasse Skov’s vocal lines in the band. Yep, with this […]
I am an American. In school, we tend to learn about other Americans like Thomas Edison, the real "go-getter" types who forge their way into history and success with their unfettered industriousness. Americans love a good success story, which is probably why most Americans despite it being a forgotten landmark of New York state, couldn’t […]
Here’s what you have to know about WORMRIDDEN – it’s a project formed by David (UNDERGANG) on guitars / bass and Takashi (ANATOMIA) on drums / vocals. They take the slowest elements from their main bands, decompose them deeper into downtuned madness and make two tracks – ‘Putrid Remains’ and ‘Infested By Worms’ – which […]
Californians NECROT might be a young bunch, but they’ve learned their tricks from the masters of Death Metal and applied them convincingly on their debut demo # 1 containing two tracks ‘Consume Control’ and ‘Contagious Pain’. The sound is heavily mudded and reminds me of 90s Relapse 7" series when they were releasing bands like […]
