Over the last 15 years since their formation, CAULDRON BLACK RAM released a handful of different things: a demo, two splits, two albums and now, at last, something new to follow up 2010’s “Slubberdegullion” album. The material on this EP ranges from the mid-paced to dark, doom-laden passages that lend credence to the band’s name; […]
This 5-piece band called HATERIAL from the northern part of Finland, Oulu, was formed just in 2010 – and soon after HATERIAL had recorded their 5-track promotional demo in July 2010, the band got snapped by an Italian label, Worm Hole Death Records; a record label, publishing and film production company that was started around […]
REINO ERMITANO is for sure a pretty unique band. Sure they don’t reinvent the wheel, but there’s that little spark of magic surrounding their pretty organic music. The sublime paintings that go hand in hand with their quite introspective groove reflect very well all the living passion that dwells at the heart of REINO ERMITANO’s […]
This album from Danish heavy-weights UNDERGANG has already been released on LP in January 2010 by UK label Me Saco Un Ojo Records (sold out by now) and now finally it is also out on CD through Xtreem Music. And let me tell you, this is a real gem that’s not so easy to find […]
Even though Denmark had given birth to quite a lot of very cool bands in Metal history already (MERCYFUL FATE, SAMHAIN, ARTILLERY, EVIL, INVOCATOR, DENIAL OF GOD), I wouldn’t necessarily associate the country with extremely dark and brutal old school Death Metal, so UNDERGANG’s debut promo demo "Indhentet Af Døden" (which translated means "caught by […]
I’m confused. I heard about the Swedish UNDERGANG and got their "Indhentet Af Døden" demo. The old school Death Metal UNDERGANG. When I got this 7" EP I wondered about the different logo, the colourful (and everything else than old school Death Metal) comic cover with (among others) a guy painted on it wearing a […]
Two years after their excellent debut album, "Indhentet Af Døden", the Danish outfit comes up with their sophomore effort, "Til Døden Os Skiller". And it is another great addition to their discography. UNDERGANG hasn’t really changed their formula for this album. In my opinion, they take late 80s Death Metal as their base and mix […]
I think we need to have an in-depth look for what’s going on in Sweden right now, because these new bands I got to know recently made me curious in what the future will offer… The regular readers of Voices From The Darkside surely read my review of "Mass Genocide Ritual" as well as the […]
It took a long time that this band returned with a new output after their cool demo "Awakening From Darkness". "Death And Darkness Buries All…" comes in the highest professional form for a 7" EP. Presented with a new logo and a cover both done by more and more known Trident Arts (by Erik from […]
Some years ago Joel, a friend of mine from Gothenburg, sent me a text message that he was at a Death Metal show watching an awesome new band called DEGIAL and that he got their demo for me cause he knew that I would love them. When the demo arrived I really was more than […]
