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 […]
Probably music’s history first living proof of the fact why there is a good reason that “guitar” rhymes somewhat with “chainsaw” are Canadian cult Death / Thrashers SLAUGHTER whose debut album “Strappado” is a milestone in sonic extremity and still to the very day rips your auditory canals with its truly bestial sound ‘til rivers […]
The digging in the legacy of Metal is deep these years, a lot of obscure and hard to get releases are being reissued in different formats again and again, and often that’s a joy for people like me, who loves to dig into the history of bands and the music I love. This time around […]
French Death Metal à la SCARS ON MURMANSK (great band name, btw). How about that? SCARS ON MURMANSK have released just one digital EP "Travelling Through Dark Places" in 2011, which was available for free download since March 1st, 2011. The reviews for it were kinda overwhelming – and soon the French label Great Dane […]
I went to Tuska festival this year – just like every other year, with a few exceptions. All of a sudden, one tall guy approached and stopped me when the 2nd day was going on (it was right after DEMIGOD’s performance at Tuska if I can recall this much), handing me over this 3-track, somewhat […]
Born out of the ashes of AVAFROST in 2010, Finnish Black / Death patrol PLAGUEBREEDER has unleashed their 2nd 3-track demo recording titled "Unleash Hellfire", which is actually a surprisingly good and well done effort from these four horsemen of apocalypse. I mean, both the songs and the production on this demo reek some sort […]
Australia seems to be some sort of a hot bed for a nasty and evil sounding Black / Thrash Metal these days. They do have a countless amount of bands there in Down Under that fall into this blackened Thrash Metal category, this Melbourne-based MALICHOR being just one of those bands, a tip of the […]
After two demo tapes and a split album, DEUS IGNOTUS’ debut album "Christmation" is released via Forgotten Wisdom Productions. And upon first listen, one can’t deny that Greece has been constantly delivering great Metal bands for decades. There has to be something in the water in Hellas. Their style of music mixes some heavy Death […]
(Picking myself from the floor…) Uffff… now this was some mad thrashing session alright! Let me take a breather here… two years after the menacingly dark "The Human Machine", MASTER shows no intention of slowing things down and comes at you with the fiercely slashing "The New Elite". Paul Speckmann & Co. still possess all […]
Introducing KREATOR to this site seems to me like importing Beck’s beer to Bremen. So let’s just concentrate on the hard facts… "Phantom Antichrist" is the fourth strike since these veterans entered the new millennium with a return to their roots. It was the end of their experimental phase in the 90s, which I liked […]
