Finnish Death Metal combo DEATHMARCHED contains ex – members of Finnish underground Death Metal veterans PUTRID and GOD FORSAKEN (Mika Hankaniemi on vocals, Hannu Kujanen on guitar and Juha Pohto on drums), in addition of Esa Pennala (also in BLOODRIDE) on bass. DEATHMARCHED’s 11-track debut album, "Spearhead Of Iron", is the first well-ripen fruit coming […]
Another suprisingly good release by Incursion Music from Bangladesh. The history of MIRRORBLAZE goes back into the year 2006 but the complete and full line-up wasn’t established before 2009. Like their label mates THRASH this horde also plays a solid alloy of US and Teutonic inspired Thrash Metal performed in their own way. The Dhaka […]
A quite solid underground release if you ask me which stranded in my mailbox. I have never expected such cool and professional made stuff from THRASH, an outfit which is hailing from Bangladesh. Responsible for it is Incursion Music, a label total dedicated to Metal music in their native country which organizes gigs, having their […]
The spirit of the sadly defunct BLOODY SIGN has survived fortunately. In CHAOS ECHOES (which was the title of the 3rd and final album by the cool French guys) its soul has evolved into something more twisted, more dark and more haunting than ever before. The brothers Ilmar Uibo (drums & vocals) and Kalevi Uibo […]
ASSASSIN is a pretty weird band. Even though they started out around the same time as all the other German Thrash Metal acts in the mid 80s, they never managed to get as big as SODOM, KREATOR or DESTRUCTION for example… and from all the people I know, no one really completely got into ASSASSIN, […]
To be honest: I’m neither an expert as far as Black Metal is concerned, nor a big Black Metal enthusiast. And INGLORIOUS from Tarnów, Poland will not change the latter. The EP "Death Syndrome – The Second Step To Hell", being their first output after a demo, sounds too uninspired to my ears, partly too […]
The Swedish Death Metal underground seems to be endless. MORDBRAND (Swedish for ‘Arson’) are around for a few years only, having released two splits (with EVOKE and BOMBS OF HADES) and an EP yet. Now they are here with a second EP, a vinyl 7" this time, which is also available as a download version […]
New BLOOD DUSTER album is officially the most "KVLT" release… ever! Forget your BURZUM’s and the legions of obscure bands, releasing 50 copies of a tape but still posting it on the internet. Which is all good, we need our dose of heavy shit! Preferably daily! And so we head to all blogsposts and torrents […]
Although classified as "Funeral Doom", Australian two-piece, WITHER, stand out when compared to the many other bands crowding this sub-genre of Metal. WITHER specialize in playing slow, melodic, and emotionally dense Doom that leans heavily toward their Black Metal influences. This Black Metal influence is most prevalent in the vocal delivery and their consistent emphasis […]
There isn’t much information floating around on the internet about Australia’s WITHER, but from what I managed to find, it seems like this is a one man depressive, sad, gloomy adventure. Having released a split 12" with Germany’s Funeral Doom ensemble WORSHIP they apparently put their name on the map and I’ve read a couple ecstatic […]
