Without straying into incomprehensible sounding displays of technical wizardry, Portugal’s UNDERNEATH play in a style of Death Metal that requires proficiency and a talent for good songwriting. This album of theirs sounds like it belongs in the mid-90s, the style influenced by bands such as SUFFOCATION and CANNIBAL CORPSE, but with many evil sounding rhythms […]
Fifth album of this long running Death / Black Metal band from the Netherlands. I am sure I have at least two of their albums somewhere in my collection, so it means they are a good band. And so far, this new album still delivers the goods. They can be related to the first two […]
Formed back in 2008, this Italian trio releases their debut album of melodic Black Metal, which also has quite some old school Swedish Death Metal touches here and there, sounding in parts like UNANIMATED / LORD BELIAL / DISSECTION, with obvious EMPEROR / IMMORTAL / DARKTHRONE references. Well produced and very well executed, with the […]
Finnish melodic Thrash / Death Metal act FINAL DAWN ain’t any rookies anymore. The band came into existence in 2000 – and during 12 years or so, the band’s release catalog has been increasing to 4 demos, 2 EPs and one full-length album. FINAL DAWN’s only record, "Under The Bleeding Sky", was released on Dutch […]
It’s been like 5 years or something since Finland’s EVEMASTER’s previous studio outing, "MMIV Lacrimae Mundi", reached a few pairs of ears of the extreme underground Metal community. Nobody believed we would hear from EVEMASTER any more after that particular record in question but gladly some things are destined to break a long period of […]
More older stuff from CARDIAC NECROPSY: "Morbid Scum Division" is the first full-length album from these extreme Metal lunatics from Singapore, released in 2011. Compared to their "Sixxxteen Years Of Anal Addict" compilation with stuff recorded before 2007, they made a good step forward into that what emerged only one year later. The stuff here […]
When Singapore’s CARDIAC NECROPSY released their album "Shayateen" last year, it was clear that this couldn’t come from out of nowhere. In fact they were active for twenty years (with a longer break at the end of the 1990s). Vrykoblast Productions released two more records with stuff they recorded. "Sixxxteen Years Of Anal Addict" is […]
Death appears in many forms. VORUM hailing from the Åland Islands, Finland (or Åland, is an autonomous, demilitarised, monolingually Swedish-speaking region of Finland, just in case someone wants to know), come furiously raging in all doors being blown wide open: these grim deathsters’ long-awaited debut album, "Poisoned Void", is finally out! The question is, however, […]
Stockholm Death Thrashers PHIDION have released a self-financed EP titled “Flesh Of The Forsaken”. I’ll be honest, I never heard of these guys before I got this to review and had to do a quick check in Metal Archives to get a bit of background on them. The band formed from the ashes of RUINS […]
Kryth has become quite a known, evil-spirited individual for his evil-than-thou band involvements of recent times. Having not an exact number of all bands in my mind that he’s been involved with during his musical career of blasphemies, Satan worship and stuff like that, PURE EVIL is solely his own band in which he has […]
