OPERA IX have gone a long way release wise since this obscure Italian Black / Gothic Metal band took its first baby steps in the Italian underground Metal soil. Since the band lost their unique sounding female vocalist Cadaveria after the 3rd album titled "The Black Opera" in 2000, the band seemed to loose a […]
Italian blasphemers and perverted unholy lords in DIVINE CODEX (Atum on drums and synthesizers and Guh Lu on guitars and bass) paid a visit at Sound Industry Studio in Rome, Italy during July 2011, having a serious intention to put Jesus’ followers on their weak knees by their 2nd full-length crusade titled "The Dark Descent", […]
Old school – or no school at all, or what’s said about this topic once by a bunch of smart ass people? Anyways, the concept ‘old school’ is always a fine thing whenever it can be crystalized into the kind of musical form that moves you one way or the other. The Finnish Death Metal […]
Hell yes, the sickness from Sweden’s Death Metal beasts INSISION has returned with a 6 track EP (well 5 full tracks and an intro) that runs over 20 minutes. If you have not checked these guys out then let me give you a quick history lesson. This brutal band started out in 1997 and have […]
For all those that are not familiar with HAZAEL let me clear one thing up… this was one of the most important and classic bands from Poland back in the 90s and if I would need to use a term to describe this twisted Polish band, I would certainly need to use “devilish”, devilish their dirty sound, […]

Anyways, "Bestial" has been re-released by Chaos Records with 1 bonus track ‘Of […]
I remember having a CD of this band that was a compilation of their demos and finding it not that interesting, but as soon the first riffs of the opener exploded I knew I was in front of something different. Again the Finnish horde attacks with their second album of raw necro Black Metal, but […]
When it comes to bands with an almost institutional reputation, IMMOLATION’s name invariably comes up. Since 1988 the band has unveiled masterful album after masterful album. Their most recent full-length, 2010’s “Majesty And Decay” was a thunderous new installment which, as its title suggested, sounded large and imposing; majestic even. “Providence” seems to be a […]
Weird that this album has stayed quite unnoticed since its release in 2010. Especially when it was one of the most intense albums that year. Many of you might not be familiar with these guys, so here’s an introduction of this Chilean occult trio. They started in 2002 and released two rehearsals before recording a […]
Mille of KREATOR’s favorite Greek disciples of Thrash Metal, SUICIDAL ANGELS have returned back to the limelight with their 4th studio album, "Bloodbath", which pretty much continues this Greek bunch’s saga as the most relentless and promising Thrash Metal act from the Greek soil, without any compromises. Ever since Nuclear Blast Records signed SUICIDAL ANGELS […]
