I gotta be honest. When I read the album title I was afraid. I mean, "Krieg Thrash"? I really can’t get past that "krieg vnd kvlt" terminology. Worse if it’s applied to Thrash Metal. But past the aforementioned detail, I set myself to listen to German ELIMINATOR’s debut album. Before this release, they put out […]
After nine years of inactivity, Cleveland based Auburn Records has finally returned to the scene with a new release. And the choice couldn’t be better! The “Accept” entitled, quite lengthy EP (with a playing time of approx. 30 minutes) by legendary melodic Heavy Metal masters BREAKER will certainly appeal to a lot of underground Metalfans. […]
The long wait is over – it’s done, it’s here and the result just turned out absolutely fantastic! After 13 long years, BREAKER’s legendary "Get Tough" album is F.I.N.A.L.L.Y. officially out on CD for the very first time! Even if you already own the lousy Reborn Classics bootleg version of it, you gotta go for […]
It was a night to remember… The year 2000, Wednesday, the 2nd of August: Cleveland’s Metal legend BREAKER paid their first visit to old Europe, 18 years after they started, 13 years after their legendary album "Get Tough". They were to play the legendary Wacken Open Air and two days before, they played a so […]
Anyone wants an example of a hard working, no frills and bullshit Death Metal band? Raise your horns up for San Diego 4 piece PATHOLOGY as this is their 6th album in six years and what a fuckin’ gut ripping, skull bashing, leg breaking, eye squashing brutal slamfest that is! This shit should be played […]
From the (maybe) wonderful city of Wuppertal comes Germany’s (according to some media) new modern Melodic Death Metal hope: HOPELEZZ. Formed in 2009, they immediately started to play every show they were offered, played a good part in an open music contest and by now already shared the stage with with known bands like EISREGEN, […]
Australia has always been a good place for Metal – and for Thrash Metal in particular, I think. Melbourne-based IN MALICE’S WAKE are probably the biggest candidate to sink the ship but not that far away behind them, comes also this 4-piece Thrash Metal act called BLACKENED from the same area. The guys sound like […]
The good old dirty south; America’s very own backyard of double standards: zealous Christianity on the surface, and a vibrant, sometimes violent but always debauched underbelly. From this underworld came bands like OBITUARY, MASSACRE, DEICIDE, etc. But while those bands were from the south, none of them announced their geographic origins. American bands as a […]
Mark Shelton, is one creative creature. The man is mostly known of course for his involvement in the epic Heavy Metal warriors MANILLA ROAD, even if he has also placed his finger into many other bands in the past too (THE CIRCUS MAXIMUS, EMBRYO, THUMBLEWEED, APOCALYPSE, etc.). Mark’s latest band or project carries the HELLWELL […]
Swedish Death Metal continues its roll and the new breed of bands continues their conquering of the world. I first encountered CORROSIVE CARCASS back in 2010 when they released their demo "Rot.In.Pieces", a demo that I was hugely impressed by and gave a nice review over at Nocturnal Horde. I actually believed they would get […]
