This material was originally supposed to come out as a 7" EP on Metal War Productions (after the original idea of doing a live split release with BLOOD STORM fell through), but due to financial problems at the label side, the whole idea had to be canceled. In the end Holland’s From Beyond Productions took […]
Seven long years have come and gone since the last two PENTACLE releases, the "Under The Black Cross" full-length album on Iron Pegasus / Ibex Moon Records and the "Archaic Undead Fury" EP on From Beyond Productions. And I wouldn’t really be surprised if some of you already got the impression that the Dutch old […]
The toxic contagion of old school swedish Death Metal is worldwide and also hit the Dutch borders. Few have fallen prey to the plague like BURNING HATRED and ENTRAPMENT. This last one is no newcomer and released three demos already. “Infernal Blasphemies”, “Putrefying Stench Of Death” (both from 2010) and “Crawling Morbidity” (2011). “Infernal Blasphemies” […]
Wuhahahaaaaaah! It is in the meantime already over twenty years ago since the second album by AUTOPSY – "Mental Funeral" – was released. With the new interest in the band – thanks to their reunion and the brilliant album "Macabre Eternal" – it seemed the perfect opportunity for Peaceville to release a re-issue of this […]
A tiny piece of Finnish underground Death Metal history here… AGONIZED’s 1991 demo "Gods…" for the first time available as a limited run of CD-Rs (140 copies only). The ones who can still remember this Finnish 5-piece grinding Death Metal act, obviously put them to the same cauldron where some AIDS-ridden blood and guts were […]
Wow… this CD pretty much made my day. Switzerland’s Thrash Metal patrol ALGEBRA plays the kind of Thrash Metal that I pretty much like to listen to on daily basis. It’s based on strong, ever-roaming cavalcade of crunchy, heavy and seriously wicked riffs, in which the whole band also does count on their technical skills […]
Spain’s BALMOG were formed back in 2003 and almost ten years later they are releasing their first full-length. Their style contained here is a dark and obscure form of Black Metal in which one can sense a lot of evil Death Metal influences, thus maybe naming MAYHEM from their only album (yeah, that MAYHEM not […]
Just one year after the release of their second album Spain’s one man band attacks again with a MCD with only two songs but well over 26 minutes in duration. Not a single thing has changed in their style of doomed, perdition Black Metal sound. Maybe this time the drums are louder, but that’s it. […]
Black, depressive Metal from Spain. The band was formed back in 2006 and this is their second full-length. Doomy, gloomy slow Metal of blackness, with more than a few touches of Post Rock can be found within. So, how it all comes in my ears? Well, interesting for a listen, but completely to be forgotten […]
Germany has been known for some big names in the Thrash Metal Scene. But when it comes to Death Metal bands, there aren’t that many that come to mind. Being the oblivious Metal fan that I am, can think of BLOOD, ATROCITY, WEAK ASIDE, MORGOTH and maybe a few others (it seems you missed out […]
