‘From A Hideous Summoning’ kicks your face in a vicious and twisted way to start this little piece of vinyl. Never has NECROWRETCH sounded as sharp and vile as on this 7’’. Compared to the former mini called “Putrefactive Infestation”, it is obvious that the band matured a lot. Their previous work was already promising, but […]
It’s brutal and relentless, it’s NECRORIPPER, a Chilean force with a bunch of demos, an EP and a split EP behind, now ready to slay heathens with their first full-length album, with some of the already released tracks and the tracks ‘Necrometal’, all re-recorded for this release. There have always been a good handful of […]
With last year’s exceptional full-length album "Carved In Stigmata Wounds" Germany’s SECRETS OF THE MOON finally managed to gain the attention they had deserved a lot longer already. The record was a highly impressive and extremely unique sounding musical statement, easily proving everyone wrong who considered the raw Black Metal style as a rather limited […]
Have you ever felt that there is an upcoming darkness surrounding you in a full moon cold night? Have you ever sensed the sound of bells coming out from nowhere? With no reason at all… it freezes you… it makes your soul turn to stone… enter the sounds of soul condemnation… formed back in 1995 […]
Again, a totally new name to me from a vast extreme Polish underground Metal scene: DEUS MORTEM. A 2-piece Black Metal band that was formed in 2008 by Inferno (BEHEMOTH, CHRIST AGONY, etc.) and Necrosodom (AZARATH, ANIMA DAMNATA, etc.). The guys’ first 2-song single, titled "Darknessence", is pure MARDUK worship. Fast, furious, gut-wrenching and Nordic […]
Formerly known as MORTUARY, Polish Death Metal institution SUPREME LORD, that was formed in 1991, is undoubtedly one of the longest running Polish Death Metal bands that has built up their career for several years as an uncompromising and most respected underground Death Metal act. All the band members have also achieved their background experience […]
Madness for some blistering blackened Death / Thrash Metal just never seems to stop. Not that it never even should but it seems like tons and tons new line-ups are constantly crawling out from their filthy asylums, to create a merciless havoc on the face of the earth. New members to these dark armies have […]
Black Metal, what is / was it, where did it come from and where did it go? All interesting questions many have tried to answer, both in writing and with music. I’ll not try to answer such questions in this review, though merely conclude that the Italian duo OBSCURA AMENTIA is Black Metal, a somewhat […]
When a band releases something from their archives that never saw the light of day until years after its creation, it’s almost like seeing them for the first time or perhaps a side of them for the first time. While this forgotten BEHERIT session sounds more like “The Oath Of Black Blood” than anything else, […]
This is Death Metal from Sweden, but not the kind it is famous for. Some of you might be familiar with PUTRIFIED from their demo "The Return Of Swedish Old-School Death Metal" (2010), their EP "Whorehouse Tales" (2011) or their debut album "Spawn Of The Dead" (2011). "Neurotic Necrotic" doesn’t bring any major changes compared […]
