I love when a label gets into the business of releasing the, more or less, whole discography of an old an almost forgotten band. Especially as this, where the material is compiled from demos and 7" EPs, which can be quite tough to get hold of, years after the initial release. ARMOURED ANGEL hails from […]
According to Helltrashing fanzine BAPHOMET’S BLOOD are the bastard songs of MOTÖRHEAD, BULLDOZER and VENOM and I like this comparison. The sticker "Speed Metal" stands proud on the top right of the cover which shows a bandphoto including the 4 members in a cliché Metalpose wearing VENOM, SARCOFAGO and MOTÖRHEAD shirts, big sunglasses (no EMPEROR […]
Raw and rancid unholy noises from the grave are what 2009 founded Danish trio PUSTULATION throw on us on their first 7” EP which marks the successor to the well received 2010 demo “Orgy Of The Dead” and split album with LIGFAERD last year. Two songs plus outro is what you’ll get, accompanied by a […]
First off, Croatian Death Metal act DEFIANT does bring occasionally Polish Death Metal kings VADER to my mind – and maybe even DECAPITATED due to a few reasons: they are at least as instrumentally skilled and technical as their more known Polish comrades in the very question – and they sound as brutal and vicious […]
The French extreme Metal scene is constantly getting stronger and stronger – I mean, if a band like this 4-piece act NECROVERCDOSE from Marseille can just work as any indicator for all that. "Off" is just NECROVERDOSE’s debut studio album, although they have existed since 2001. Well, better getting your debut record released later than […]
CARCARIASS (which comes from Carcharodon Carcharias – the Latin name of the Great White Shark, if some of you are eager to get some trivia type of information) is a 4-piece Death Metal band from France that has already recorded 4 full-length albums ever since the band was started back in 2001. The band seems […]
Swedish extreme Metal act TERRORAMA has always been considered as some sort of "kult-ish" act, often being said to belong to either Thrash or Death or Black Metal genres musically, actually proving to be a pretty hard band to put under a certain musical category. TERRORAMA have existed well over 10 years – and during […]
Now here’s something killer and worth each of our time, I believe. Progressive and technical Death Metallers AFTER OBLIVION from Bosnia and Herzegovina, is a totally new band for me – and oh dear, these four lads truly prove to be quite talented wankers with their instruments, and to play together as a tight sounding […]
3 hooded warriors from Uppsala, Sweden, using the MEPHORASH name to carry out their darkest visions and vile masterplans, have already reached the album no. 2. during the band’s somewhat short existence. MEPHORASH first spread their black wings in 2010 – and these diabolic Blacksters’ 1st full-length outing, "Death Awakens", was unleashed a year later, […]
Having never heard this album before (shame on you Jason ; -) – Frank), it is certainly a profound experience for me to hear it now for the first time as a vinyl reissue on Nuclear Winter Records. On "Gods Of Creation, Death, & Afterlife", their first and only album originally released in 2000, COFFIN […]
