This album was released in 2009, but this is the first I’ve heard of it. Not surprising considering the style of composition. NAUMACHIA synthesize their country’s (Poland in case I forgot to mention) Death Metal style with electronics, creating wide open majestic spaces in their music. Unfortunately this makes them sound like BEHEMOTH with an […]
Death’n’Roll, the Swedish style. That’s what we get from these five lads in HELLTRAIN. The band’s 3rd full-length studio album titled "Death Is Coming", has been out for quite a while now on a Russian label Metalism Records that has quite a respectable roster of several bands indeed. As for HELLTRAIN, it features experienced musicians […]
Metal from the land of the old and new Euro-champions is still more or less exotic in the scene. Maybe that is due to the fact, that most bands from Spain sing in their native tongue, which still is quite unusual in Metal. Therefore it is not much of a surprise that only few bands […]
What is it with Greece? There must be something in the air or in the water there. I just did another review on DEUS IGNOTUS, a really good Greek band and RAVENCULT’s "Morbid Blood" was an amazing discovery for me too. Besides cult acts such as ROTTING CHRIST, VARATHRON, NECROMANTIA, THOU ART LORD and the […]
Hailing from Cesena, Italy, this 3-piece Black / Death Metal project act called ANTIQUUS INFESTUS, that was started in July 2011, released their 2nd 4-track demo at the end of April 2012, titled "The Cult Of Ra". With overly lengthy and somewhat imaginative song titles like ‘The Chapter Of Not Letting The Heart Of A […]
"Gods Of Creation, Death & Afterlife", COFFIN TEXTS’ killer debut album, was already recorded in 1995 and released five years later in 2000. Twelve fuckin’ years ago… Unbelievable how time flies… In 2002 they released a promising four track promo CD but after that COFFIN TEXTS only participated in a couple of tribute albums. So […]
Another new name to the scene? No, not really, cause MELEKTAUS simply evolved out of the ashes of Chile’s DOMINUS XUL, who released one hell of a killer album entitled "The Primigeni Xul (I Condemned My Enemies)" on Picoroco Records (a detailed review on that is featured somewhere else in our review section). Even though […]
It was about goddamn time! After eight years Chilean Death Metallers MELEKTAUS who had risen from the ashes of underground cult DOMINUS XUL finally have wrapped up the follow up to 2004’s fabulous “Transcendence Through Ethereal Scourge” and every loyal supporter of the infernal trio will have reason to celebrate with the brand-new opus “Nexus […]
Death Metal is like an everflowing stream. New bands seem constantly to be popping up from everywhere, making it really hard to follow this particular genre in question as accurately as – let’s say, like 20 or so years ago. I was completely alright with my ENTOMBEDs, MORBID ANGELs, DISMEMBERs, AUTOPSYs, IMMOLATIONs, etc. during the […]
This is truely a feast for every fan of Canada’s legendary 80s Death / Thrashers SLAUGHTER: almost 5 hours (!!) of music, delivered in a fancy styled boxset, that contains two crammed double-CD sets, a poster and three stickers. Both CDs furthermore come with a 16-pages fat booklet each that include tons of vintage pics […]
