French DECLINE OF THE I is a Post Black Metal type of project, run by A.K. – the guy who has been involved with many other extreme sounding acts over the recent years (VORKREIST, MERRIMACK, NEO INFERNO 262, etc., just to name a few). DECLINE OF THE I’s debut album "Inhibition", which is said to […]
The deathrashing Swedish bastard is back. These 3 horned little Beelzebubs from Uppsala, Sweden, named their band after the VENOM song – and ever since the band has kept things relatively busy, even release-wise. "Conjure The Legions" is just DIE HARD’s 2nd full-length studio album, and it surely is a tad better yet more solid […]
This is some good stuff here – and what’s even better, obviously something a bit more different and refreshing for a change. ALTERED BEAST, this 4-piece group coming from Amiens, France, has found a nice way to melt elements from Thrash Metal, Heavy Metal and pure Rock’n’Roll into one solid sounding package, the main emphasis […]
From Louisiana, USA, hails a 3-piece Death Metal torpedo more commonly known as SUTURE. These fellows’ so far latest full-length studio album, a 10-track effort titled "Skeletal Vortex", is the band’s 2nd studio album in order (the band’s debut, "Carnivorous Urge To Kill", came out in 2002 already, and the band split up in 2008 […]
So, Greek technical Death Metallers ACID DEATH disbanded – well, at least formally, in 2001, and their 2nd album, "Random’s Manifest", was recorded as late as some twelve long years ago. Back in those days people tend to compare ACID DEATH’s 2 previous albums to such names as CYNIC, ATHEIST, DREAM THEATER and DEATH musically, […]
Metal can be found everywhere nowadays. Even from some more obscure countries like China, for example. Chinese HELLFIRE trust the power of raw and filthy sounding Thrash Metal that takes a slice from the times of METALLICA’s "Kill ’em All" – and a slice from bands like VENOM and BULLDOZER. Basically they sound just ‘ok-ish’ […]
Norwegian Thrashers IMBALANCE’s brand-new outing is this 6-track 10" EP that contains 3 new songs, plus a cover song of Oslo’s Sleazepunk legends TRASHCAN DARLINGS (‘Me Punk, You Fuck!’), also added with a couple of live songs off the band’s 2010 debut album "Period Three Implies Chaos". As for these 3 new cuts, the guys’ […]
Pennsylvanian Doomsters PALE DIVINE have been there in the world of Doom Metal quite a long time already. The band was formed in 1995, and since then they have released 4 full-lengths thus far off which their latest one carries the name "Painted Windows Black". This very album in question features nearly 70 minutes of […]
This 6-piece French outfit MADONAGUN was originally founded in 2005 by D.K. (aka Thorgon) and Mark (aka Sagoth), who both are ex – members of ANTAEUS and also current members in ETERNAL MAJESTY. But it was actually during the year 2007, when things really started happening for MADONAGUN. Besides the brothers of D.K. and Mark, […]
Four years ago NECROVATION released “Breed Deadness Blood”, to great applause. They, along with TRIBULATION, DEGIAL and INVIDIOUS, are considered the vanguard of a new era in excellent Swedish Death Metal. Listening to this album, simply titled, “Necrovation”, I would say the new age is well under way. This beast of an album necessarily differs […]
