Californian Death Metal act SANGUIS IMPEREM is a real deal. No bullshit – no gimmicks – no trendy wanna-be Death Metal but only real, all-mangling and totally crushing old school Death Metal in its 100% pure form. "In Glory We March Towards Our Doom" is the band’s first full-length studio outing that came out on […]
I have always liked this French Metal outfit called GANG pretty much actually. There’s something quite appealing in the band’s mixture of pure Heavy Metal, Thrash, Power Metal and even Hard Rock – and the band’s previous 5th full-length album, simply titled "V", was just all around a good release in my books. But I […]
Back in 1997 a small treat was released. At least for a Metalhead as myself that had been into HELLHAMMMER since the first tones of the band had hit my ears back in the day. HELLHAMMER did release quite some material, when you have the small 2 years they existed in mind, though not nearly […]
From Buenos Aires, Argentina comes a Pagan / Viking Metal act called WULFSHON, which only tells there’s really no boundaries for any musical Metal style or genre that one could not find from just any corner of the world. So, dear Metal brothers and sisters from all around the world, let’s get united! Hails to […]
‘Oh hear those thirteen silver coins, we are all in conspiracy with Judas…" In conspiracy with Satan would probably fit teeny-weeny better in LORD OF PAGATHORN’s case this time. Here’s a brand-new 7" record from this Finnish semi-legendary Black Metal outfit, titled "Shine Through My Scars, Morning Star", which obviously works out as some sort […]
Holy 30-centimetres long claws of thy unholy Lord from beyond… does this 5-headed Spanish monster known as NOCTEM rip some flesh if it ever was after for our flesh? Well, it does indeed – and now let’s get the hell out of here unless we don’t want to turn into some small and raw meatballs […]
This is a pretty mediocore release. That it’s categorised under New Thrash Metal will turn off some readers immediately and despite hard attempts DISMANTLE don’t succeed to convince. There are much worse bands to be found performing this revivaling style, but still it just isn’t enough. Seeing this releases is produced by AreaDeath Productions didn’t […]
SABER TIGER is the creation of guitar wizard Akihito Kinoshita who gave birth to this metallic beast already back in 1981. Hailing from Sapporo, this great Metal band has already a huge back catalog and belongs to the top Heavy Metal outfits from the land of the rising sun. It’s a really strange why this […]
Formerly knows as EVIL POWER, French Thrash / Death Metal act NO RETURN have wandered a long way since they started out in 1989, by sharing the stages together with many internationally known, big names (MOTÖRHEAD, SEPULTURA, NAPALM DEATH, CORONER, DEATH ANGEL – among others), going through a noteworthy amount of line-up changes over the years […]
I remember…I remember now… there was a time when in Japan many Death Metal bands were spawning… I remember many… NECROPHILE, SIGH, TRANSGRESSOR, GIBBED and yes… VOIDD… they all had a similar Death Metal approach, and I have always felt those bands were sounding more American than European… in the case of VOIDD I remember […]
