Austrian old school Thrashers DEATHSTORM that used to be called DAMAGE in 2007 – 2010 after the name change, have now got their debut full-length studio album, titled "As Death Awakes". What we have here, is a package of 8 blistering, fast and furious Thrash Metal songs that clearly hark back to the times when […]
Australia’s Death Metal warriors VOMITOR have returned with their third album which underlines the fact that they are easily the best and most uncompromising purveyors of old school – nah, that still sounds too modern – primeval Death Metal out there. If you consider a band like ASPHYX Death Metal dinosaurs, this commando here is […]
Back to good old adorable vinyl again! Germany’s Death Grind veterans DEPRESSION are back after a nearly three year long break and share a 7" with their neighbors ERODED, who have been silent for a similar time as well. And they are back with a blast! DEPRESSION are around for nearly 25 years and nearly […]
MOLD is a new addition to the small Kill Town Death Metal gang, hailing from Copenhagen and stirring up some murky, fetid, rotten, infested old school Death Metal. Downtuned to impossibly low lewels of gut wrenching levels of sound, they present two tracks: ‘Terryfying Visions’ and ‘Heinous Deformities’. Sounding as if literally recorded in a […]
When this release was offered to review, I immediately responded, hoping this was the German CASKET who released the great demo, "Endtime", in 1994 and seeing one track called ‘Casketball’ already hinted these guys were the one. They also released two demos prior to this one, namely "’ne Volkanne" in 1991 and "Demo ’93" in […]
Indonesia is a famous place when it comes to brutal Death Metal underground music and so far the country has puked out quite a lot releases upon the surface of this rotting and stinking planet. Outfits like SIKSAKUBUR, JASAD, FUNERAL INCEPTION or TENGKORAK are well known far beyond the shores of their native country and […]
WEAK ASIDE. Another German Death Metal band that keeps up with the tradition set by bands such as MORGOTH, OBSCENITY, APOPHIS and TORCHURE. Besides their "Fire At Will" demo 2007 and their excellent "Ghostleader" debut album from 2010, they have just released these 3 songs, that continue their style of mid-paced brutality. I find it […]
"Ultra Sick Doom" was the title of French Doomsters FUNERALIUM’s 2004 debut demo – and nobody can really deny the fact how ultra sick Doom Metal shit this French quintet actually does on their 2nd album, "Deceived Idealism". Yep, call this Funeral Doom Metal or whatever but this 2-CD set offers the band’s Funeral Doom […]
Already the 2nd mini-CD from the men around Blackmoon, this time as a taster for the upcoming album on Hammerheart in spring. However, I think that this release is quite mediocre. Two own tracks plus three coversongs in just a quarter of an hour do not really justify that this is being bought. The own […]
If you considered buying this for the simple reason that INFERNAL is the new home of former NASTY SAVAGE frontman "Nasty" Ronnie Galletti, think again. This release is a slap in the face of every NASTY SAVAGE fan in the first place, but also for Death Metal maniacs in general. This 3-tracker (plus intro and […]
