If you ask me where the best Black / Thrash comes from I will answer “Australia, Germany and South America”. If you say “Australia sounds cool, what bands can you recommend?”. I will answer “D666 are the masters but GOSPEL OF THE HORNS are great, too!” After two albums, several really strong EPs now after […]
Straight out of Bristol, England we have ACID SHARK that delivers a fierce Crusty Punky Grindcore attack. "Bombs Away" is the band’s first release, and the 3 tracker does show some potential within the aggressive and direct niche. ACID SHARK doesn’t bring that much new to the table, they are treading good old paths, but […]
I gotta confess that I don’t know shit about these guys, apart from the fact that they are hailing from Germany and were founded in early 2010. But judging them by the quality of the four songs on their debut demo "Sulphur Psalms" I bet that they have already been involved in one or another […]
Since their first demo tape “Sulphur Psalms”, which was limited to only 100 copies, and already distributed by Imperium Productions, one can say that SULPHUR AEON has developed into a massive sounding Death Metal carnage. Not that the first demo is bad. Don’t misunderstand me. In 2011, SULPHUR AEON sounded already very serious and mixed […]
“Completely Vulgar” is the first official, proper compilation of Finnish Death Metal act ABHORRENCE’ sadly few recordings, consisting of their 1990 7” EP, the “Vulgar Necrolatry” demo, seven live tracks and the “Macabre Masquerade” rehearsal. Due to the poor sound quality tracks 9 to 17 (live and rehearsal) are hardly enjoyable but nice bonuses for […]
Sweet Chilean Metal… Chile being one of South America’s strongest countries for producing some quality Metal worldwide. KRUDO (a Spanish word, and meaning raw in English) have also got their debut full-length released in the beginning of this year; an album titled "Demencial". KRUDO use their own language Spanish in the songs that in fact, […]
Chile has always been a great country for Metal, especially for Thrash Metal – and this 4-piece act CONFLICTED from Arica, Chile, makes no exception to that rule either. CONFLICTED’s debut 9-track studio album titled "Social Disorder" was released not that long time ago on the small Chilean label Sick Bangers, and the band’s Thrash […]
Holy Shit! I can’t believe that I have not heard of Sweden’s Death Metal masters EVOCATION until this review. These guys started out in 1992 with a few demos and started to get interest from labels until they decided to put the act on ice after musical differences popped its ugly head into the band. […]
When you stumble across this band and read the name, you will imminently think it is something completely different to what it really is. I should say that I thought this would be another Bestial / War Metal endeavour for some reason but I was ridiculously wrong! Stockholm, Sweden based DESULTOR is spewing high-energized thrashy […]
Today, VADER fights for the title of “most visible Polish band” with the likes of BEHEMOTH, DECAPITATED and HATE. Between them, these four bands, in this reviewer’s much learned (yeah right) opinion, typify the Polish scene: overtly satanic and anti-christian themes, incredibly dexterous, blasting drumming, and more or less ordinary Death Metal vocals. I think […]
