After the semi-classical "Diabolical Bloodshed" it took Swedish Death Metallists NOMINON quite a few years to come up with another release, it was 2003 when the cool "Blaspheming The Dead" EP finally surfaced and it seems that from that day on things have sped up a little in the NOMINON camp. Because there’s another piece […]
NOMINON may have flexed their muscle only within the last few years, but their dark story began long ago in 1993. Since they began releasing material, the band hasn’t wavered in their song-writing. In fact, there’s little to dislike about them all around. What makes them somewhat suspect from time to time is their choice […]
With both hands I took the opportunity to review this fourth full-length by Swedish hope NOMINON. On "Monumentomb" NOMINON introduces new vocalist Henke Skoog who you might know from EVISCERATED and continues to step further away from their traditional Swedeath sound that already marked their EP "Omen". Not only because of the ‘lighter’ production but […]
Damn, what a cool, but clichéd title of an album? Clichéd, yes, but we are talking about Death Metal. Death Metal in its purest form. Death Metal for the underground, not your AMON AMARTH, KATAKLYSM or HYPOCRISY who used to be Death Metal but who reached a status their old fans complain about. I don’t […]
The American band NOCTURNAL TORMENT was born from the ashes of the Thrash Metal band TERMINATION and the Death / Thrash band THANATOPSIS (released a cool demo compilation CD in 2008). Both bands have their origin in the late 80s. So we definitely have no rookies here but some experienced musicians. But other than the […]
Having existed since 1993, NOMINON don’t belong to the current generation of Swedish Death Metal. I would say most people tend to lump them with KAAMOS and REPUGNANT, bands who released their albums in the late 90s or early 2000s after making demos. Perhaps too young to be called old school, but too old to […]
MENDOZZA come from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada – and they play a kind of Doom Metal / Stoner Rock that always seems to get my ears flaming just for pure excitement. MENDOZZA have already released 5 full-length studio albums on their own, off which this self-titled 5th record in a chronological order, is also my […]
When an email came in, offering to review a debut album by CREATIVE WASTE, I was intrigued and grabbed it straight away. Why? The band comes from Saudi Arabia and I’ve never heard any Metal band from that part of the world, so needless to say I was intrigued. Now when you think about that, […]
FUNERAL WHORE from the Netherlands have released several demos and a split 7" since the band’s origin in 2006 and now they finally inked a deal with the Mexican label Chaos Records. First sign of this collaboration is the debut full-length "Step Into Damnation" which is a damned fine and ass kicking album. Many of […]
A ‘super-group’ made of Finnish heavy Hardcore bands? Sounds like a total absurdity on the paper, right folks? KILL THE CURSE, however, features both ex – band members and current band members from such modern sounding Hardcore heavyweights as BOLT, COLD INSIDE, SECURITY THREAT, ENDSTAND and ON A SOLID ROCK – and I was expecting […]
