Debut album of this Polish band formed in 2005. It is basically a well-produced melodic Death Metal band, which has a lot to do with bands like DARK TRANQUILLITY a well as the galloping mid-tempo of AMON AMARTH and the aesthetics of ARCH ENEMY. And that pretty much would sum up this band. Even if […]
While claiming to speak for everyone would be enormously arrogant of me, I nevertheless think that a name like AMORPHOUS, though it sounds cool, will inevitably draw comparison to Finland’s better known AMORPHIS. Unfortunate, because the two bands sound nothing alike – at least not now, what with the Finnish band losing its mind and […]
Somehow news of this band slipped past me these past three years. Now, with a demo, album and presently an EP under their belts, hopefully people in a similar situation as I will take an interest in ZOMBIEFICATION. Fans of the immortal Swedish style, devised by bands such as ENTOMBED, DISMEMBER, and the Sunlight Studio […]
Ever since the release of their debut full-length "Whore Of Violence", the CARNAL LUST line-up has changed quite a bit. Original singer Nickro got replaced by new frontman L. Chuck D. and they’ve furthermore added a new bassplayer and additional guitar player to their ranks. Don’t know if all this helped to increase their overall […]
French bloodbath lovers CARNAL LUST have recorded their 3rd full-length studio record, titled "The Hate Complete" – and according to the info kit that came along with the CD, which by the way was written in the French language, I can get nothing out of it. Pardon my understanding in French but I can hardly […]
This album can be summed up in three words – Fast And Furious. Or Fucking Furious. Anyway you name it, Brazilians D.E.R. don’t beat around the bush delivering straight up fast Grindcore with amazing rhythm changes, insane riffing and double vicious vocal attacks in low grunting and high shrieking voices! If you really dig pure […]
I admit, I don’t like bashing bands’ albums, so I try to avoid reviewing stuff that I don’t like that much. But I’ve been sent a bunch of CDs by EveryDayHate Records and one of them was NOISEBAZOOKA’s "Humped World" and I had to do what has to be done, so let the shitstorm begin. […]
Originally "Loathesongs" came out in 2001 on Morbid Records as a HAEMORRHAGE’s tribute to their favourite bands, so you’ve got covers from such acts as DEFECATION, CARCASS, ENTOMBED, REGURGITATE, DOOM, IMPETIGO, CRYPTIC SLAUGHTER, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES, IMPALED NAZARENE and even… UFO! Now I haven’t heard that original album, but on this re-release all tracks have been […]
There is a giant gap between the years 1994 and 2004 in the PANDEMONIUM discography. However this is not because the band split up and reformed in the mid 2000s like many others did, and still tend to do – but because they changed their name to DOMAIN in 1995, and, in 2004, apparently experiencing […]
Crushing. That’s the best word to describe COFFINS’ sound. I just can’t believe these guys are from Japan. The style they play is not common in their country, even though there are some bands that also have lots of influences from the same era. Anyway, their new EP, "March Of Despair" reeks of the stagnant […]
