"Feel free to copy this CD and make some money with it", says Finnish grinding Death Metallers REFUSAL’s brand-new 4-track effort, carrying the title "Grasp". Well, we all want to make some extra money – and this may perhaps be one way to do it? Eh, maybe not but hey – nothing stops you doing so, […]
From Santa Catarina, Brazil, comes a blackened Death / Thrash Metal band called SODAMNED whose 10-song debut studio album, titled "The Loneliest Loneliness", was released last September on Face The Abyss Records. Even if SODAMNED have just released one full-length studio album thus far, the band has already done for instance a full European tour […]
"City Built With Skulls" by POSSESSOR is the latest offering by the Irish based underground label Slaney Records. This US five piece hails from Suffolk, Virgina and delivers us 13 tracks (incl. the obligatory intro and outro) totally dedicated to the glorious days of Thrash Metal. Unleashed from Hell in 2009 the horde released some […]
PYURIA is a relatively old Finnish Death Metal combo that has been around since 1996, and released 3 full-length studio albums thus far – off which their latest collection of grinding Death Metal terror, carries the title "Incarnadine Reverly", containing 8 tracks. If I compared the band’s previous opus "Oubliette Ontology", that was released for […]
REALMBUILDER is definitely not an easy listening for the average underground Metaller. It really requires an in-depth examination and certain background (specially on CIRITH UNGOL) in order to understand and learn to appreciate their compositions. This duo comes from NY / US, honestly I would have never expected this band to sound like they do given […]
If you’re following the features on the VOICES website quite regularely, you should already be aware of the name of this band as they were more or less the reason why we managed to publish a DOMINUS XUL interview after all. The connection between both bands is pretty simple: two ex-DOMINUS XUL members (Andrés Gonzáles […]
In my case, Chile’s THORNAFIRE was always one of those bands I heard about once in a while, but somehow never got around to checking out. Two songs into it, and I pronounce myself impressed; these guys sound like KRISIUN with some of THE CHASM thrown in. For some reason my track-list appears in Chilean […]
A great battle fought somewhere up in the hidden and secret northern lands; servants raising against their rules. Blood is shed, thousands people are killed – enter the dark realm of Ragnarök; the end of the world is here. This is the concept that has been tied up tightly on Finnish Black Metallers’ SERVED DEAD’s […]
It’s kinda scary that these Brazilian Death Metal masters had already celebrated their 20th anniversary in 2007 and still aren’t as wellknown to the international Metal scene as they actually should be after such a long period of steady activity. Oh well, at least Ricardo of Peru’s Crypts Of Eternity zine was familiar with them […]
If you want Death Metal you’ve got it with Brazilian masters HEADHUNTER D.C.’s much anticipated new opus “…In Unholy Mourning…”. Still based upon such classic influences as old MORBID ANGEL, POSSESSED, SARCOFAGO, SEPULTURA, MASSACRE it’s Sérgio Baloff’s trademark vokills – I love that guy’s magnificent “oaaargggh” growls that sound like a moaning mummy in all […]
