Just formed in 2009, this somewhat young Finnish 5-piece grinding Death Metal act – using the moniker APOCRYFAL, has got their 3-track debut demo out, titled "Ravens". I bet you like it raw, straightforward, just downright brutal, severe sounding and unpolished? Then the APOCRYFAL camp might be the answer for your call. The band gives […]
Hell yeah, for us Europeans the year 2012 starts with a deadly dose of unrelenting Death Metal. The "Dead Of Winter" tour with FUNEBRARUM and UNDERGANG brings two of the most intense of all contemporary Death Metal bands together. Doomentia Records released, in cooperation with both bands and Killtown Bookings, a killer 7" tour EP […]
Well, I really liked the demos, the EP and the debut album "Dystopian Prophecies" by Dutch death machine MASSIVE ASSAULT, so I was rather excited when I heard they’ve done a new album. But while listening to it for the first time I was nothing but bored and stopped listening after a few songs. Fortunately […]
Who let these blood-thirsty and filthy wolves out? Western Australian hellish hordes MHORGL, are on the loose anyway. I mean, these Black / Thrash Metal bastards’ 3rd studio album, "Heresiarch", was released in the fall of 2011 already, collecting quite much a praise-worthy applause amongst the extreme Metal loving community for its ultra-violent, bestial and […]
2 years ago, I got to hear this Finnish blackened Death Metal band COPROLITH for the very first time, getting a chance to hear the band’s 1st full-length studio album, titled "Cold Grief Relief". I was saying about that record – with the following exact words "COPROLITH take things back to the roots – partly […]
It’s been 3 years since the Finnish Death Metal squad TORTURE KILLER released the band’s 3rd full-length studio album, titled "Sewers". After that vocalist Juri Sallinen stepped out from the TORTURE KILLER line-up and his place was taken by Pessi Haltsonen who had already earned his spurs in such extreme sounding troops as CHAINSAW DISMEMBERMENT and […]
As I have stated before, I don’t like long intros. Usually, intros try to set the pace for what is coming up, but I don’t see why use more than 20 seconds for that. Anyway, right after my rant, here’s "Duality Of Things", the first release of Polish FANTHRASH. Kinda curious name for a band, […]
It’s pretty fuckin’ awesome how old school Death Metal has become popular again, as if this sub-genre of extreme music would have disappeared somewhere. SADISTIK FOREST, this 4-piece act hailing from the north of Finland, Oulu – Sonkajärvi – axis, has made a visit to SJEP Studios in between August – November 2011, recording 9 […]
After a six year album hiatus, Sweden’s CRAFT have returned (well it has been out since August 2011) with a new slab of old school Black Metal in the form of "Void". Raw, cold and full of darkness are just a few of the words that describe the new album. As a matter of fact […]
This one is a little bit different and the band’s style might be quite unusual for the taste of most of our Voices readers. The sound of TENRIN can basically be described as a kind of melodic (symphonic) Power Metal combining the European style of Metal and (of course) the typical influences from their native […]
