Sometimes music is just plain scary, the dense and dark atmosphere some bands are able to create drags you in, turns you upside down and leaves you on the floor bleeding out of the ears. There are some time between bands and albums with such an impact, which makes the impact even more extreme, when […]
From the depths of hell, in this case Miskolc in Hungary, we have a new band with a mission. SVOID is (up to now) a one-man-project and consists of a person with the cryptic name S. He defines SVOID as Anti-Cosmic Metal, which leaves me thinking of DISSECTION. So I thought, this could be a […]
Once upon a time, there were three young buddies in a town in Thuringia, Germany. They thought about the town they are from, translated its name and recognized that they had to start a real brutal Death Metal band… The name of the town is Eisenberg, in English it translates Iron Mountain, and the name […]
First off, I want to say "The Terror Threshold" is a major improvement since 2009’s "Dreadful Pleasures". Most of the merit goes to Rogga Johansson and his never ending creativity in all his bands / projects. But Grotesque Tobias (bass) and Mutated Martin (drums) also add a lot to the album with their playing. There […]
In how many bands does Roger “Rogga” Johansson play? So many, that I am sure any respectable Death Metal fan has at least one recording with him in his collection… PAGANIZER, THE GROTESQUERY, THOSE WHO BRING THE TORTURE… those were the ones I can recall by memory… and all of them are one way or […]
Shortly after the re-release of the fantastic debut album "Chambers Of Abominations" on CD (for a very long time available on vinyl only), mighty BOMBS OF HADES from Sweden are calling out round number 2 with a first release on CD via Pulverised Records. What isn’t bad at all. Because all friends of the black gold will […]
CARCASS haven’t lived in vain, they have inspired heaps of bands that again have inspired countless bands again… and the tale of the wicked continues. This Belgian horde STRANGE FACTS IN THE SCALPEL CASE can be traced back to the masters of horror and gore, though have incorporated other healthy aspects into their blood dripping […]
Here we got another band directly starting their career with a 7" EP. Blood Harvest Records is usually a proof for good releases and that’s the case here, too. What you can expect is chaotic Death Metal with a sound quality above the average and the musical skill of the band is really on top. […]
This debut album from England’s LVCIFYRE takes a minute (or two) to warm up. The opening track (typically among the strongest songs on an album) underwhelms with dry drums and overall uninteresting riffs. Things pick up on the second song, ‘Succubi’: "Failures For Gods" era IMMOLATION riffs, and interesting effects. ‘The Faceless One’ storms like […]
Seems like Finland is becoming a promising land for some quality Death Metal again, after almost 20 years – or perhaps it has become that already. These gruesome looking, blood-covered deatheads in MÖRBID VOMIT, hail from the ‘Chicago of Finland’ (as it’s been told), a small city called Lahti – and all the 4 guys […]
