When interviewed, a member or members of a band will say that South American countries are among their favorite to play because the fans are crazier, the shows sicker, and in some regions, it’s as though the 80s are still here. So they say anyway. One reason why such things are said is because bands […]
I was drawn to this record by both the fucking cool-sounding title and “bad” 1970s-occult-movie-poster album art. This is the kind of art that you see on those shit albums by bands like DEVIL (NOR) or some other boring stoner crap, so I was naturally curious at PACT’s art / title juxtaposition. Straight out of […]
Scary as it may sound, the year 2001 dawned 11 years ago, and with that year came TERRORAMA from Sweden. Like others from not only Sweden but around the globe, TERRORAMA play a hybridized style of Black and Thrash Metal, with a heavy, heavy emphasis on the Thrash. In fact I would say Thrash describes […]
Spring in the favorable year 2008. Some blokes from Gras, Austria, hung out together and got an idea to combine their musical ideas into one package. KLYNT was ready for a serious first strike; a heavy sounding 5-piece Metal act, in which influences from Thrash, Death, Power and Heavy Metal are amalgamated in a pretty […]
A new 4-track EP called "Burn The Earth" from UK’s Heavy / Thrash Metal newcomer FURY is here – and basically it continues from the same musical footsteps where they left off on their 5-track self-titled EP in 2011. Again, FURY count on a relatively straightforward and Thrash-infested Heavy Metal approach on their follow-up EP, […]
I ripped the package open… took the CD out from it, picked up my old Walkman and went to the balcony of my home sweet home. The sun was shining – and decided to take some tan while listening to some – hopefully tasteful music. After spinning the disc like 30-something seconds, I was suspicious […]
Hailing from the USA, Las Vegas’ own DEMON LUNG have arrived to the Doom Metal world with their initial 4 track EP offering of sludgy misanthropic psalms. The self financed endeavor is entitled "Pareidolia" and proves to be a contender to watch out for in the future. Fronted by female vocalist Shanda Fredrick, these guys […]
This is kinda unusual yet exceptional from any new band to do: to release a live album without even having any full-length albums recorded before that. From Melbourne, Australia comes this 4-piece Thrash Metal act called DESECRATOR that has exactly done so; released a live album, having only recorded one 5-track EP in 2010 prior […]
It’s been 6 years since I have heard French Black / Death Metal torpedos VORKREIST last time. That’s when VORKREIST released their 2nd album, titled "XXIXA", being only a 2-piece act back then. Since then they have also released their 3rd record "Sickness Sovereign" in 2009, which has unfortunately slipped out of my radar for […]
Wickedness and evilness get spred… from Auckland, New Zealand comes this deranged, devilish group named EXORDIUM MORS who’s on the loose once again, completely unchained and free to spread terror around. These little Satans’ new 4-track EP, titled "Sacrifice, Perish And Demise", is meant to raise some hell in everyone’s neighbor area – and it […]
