Molester Kadotus is not only the owner of his independent Black Metal, sort of "kvlt" label Hammer Of Hate but also the sick mastermind behind this unholy Finnish Black Metal force known better as ANAL BLASPHEMY. Helping hands are provided by Kryth (from PURE EVIL) on drums and backing vocals and Possessed Demoness (from ANGUISHED) […]
Thinking of Scandinavian Black Metal, Denmark is not the first country that comes to mind, nor it is second or third. ATIUS, hailing from the area of Copenhagen, try to change that fact. After a demo in 2005 and shrinking from a five- to a three-piece, they released their self-financed first album "Gods Of Science". […]
After Las Vegas Thrashers AVENGER OF BLOOD had got their 2nd studio album out, titled "Death Brigade", on Heavy Artillery Records in 2008, the band started suffering from some serious line-up problems, resulting in the departure of 3 band members. It took about 3 years to get this relentless Thrash monster back on its feet […]
Ukrainian Thrashers HELL:ON that started out as HELLION back in 2005, have come to the point when a band’s 3rd album – without exception, should always be THAT album for band members that pretty much would remove some obstacles in front of them for a wider success. Does HELL:ON’s "Age Of Oblivion" represent all that […]
So, Abyss Records reissued Indianapolis Doom Metal veterans THE GATES OF SLUMBER’s debut album “…The Awakening”, releasing it in a CD-format again in November 2012 with all new layout, cover artwork by Ken Kelly, a bonus track (‘The Cloaked Figure’ taken from the band’s 3rd 2004 3-track demo) available on CD for the first time, […]
After one demo and a couple of EPs, the Finnish blackened Thrash Metal camp (with some Death Metal overtones here and there, and mainly vocal-wise though) NEUTRON HAMMER unleashes their debut full-length studio album, somewhat ominously titled "Iron Storm Evocation". As some of you may know already, NEUTRON HAMMER features a little army of relatively […]
Putting Russia back on the map once more, we have a split-release by two new bands tagged as "depressive Black Metal" on encyclopedia metallum. Both of them released demo recordings to date and "Lost In Life" are their first recordings for a label. So much for the hard facts from the net. Hailing from Ryazan, […]
The very first thing that grabbed my attention regarding this Swedish Doom / Death Metal outfit called THE GARDNERZ, was a cover of DARKTHRONE’s ‘Transilvanian Hunger’, which is one of the most convincingly written Black Metal songs in my unholy history books of extreme Metal ever. Without having all that needed patience in me, I […]
Is there ever enough good and muscular, riff-based old school Death Metal around these days? To answer to this question, truly depends on quite a few things actually but if it’s done the way this Umeå, Sweden-based 5-piece act DAEMONICUS does it, then I for one, would certainly say ‘no’. "Deadwork" is DAEMONICUS’ 2nd album […]
With a cover artwork like what’s presented on this Swedish Death commandos ERUPTED’ debut (just see the pic yourself), you can only expect something wild, savagery-like and bloody fuckin’ brutal, right? Welcome to the world of sheer savageness and brutality of these 5 slaughterhouse messiahs ERUPTED then that stated out under the CARNIVORE moniker in […]
