Coming out of Poland, we got the 7th issue of this magazine called TRIBAL CONVICTIONS, one of the multiple works that Robert, main man behind Psycho Records, is doing along with issuing albums in an impressive rate. But now I must talk about the magazine and not his bands, and at this point it’s clear […]
Other than the “Total Metal: Neat Anthology”, ATOMKRAFT let the first decade of the twenty-first century pass much as the last decade of the twentieth: with nothing. But now, as of late 2011, the Future Warriors are returned to us. “Cold Sweat” is the band’s first new release since 1987’s “Conductors Of Noize”. As the […]
Ahhh SUPURATION… Those were the good times! Along with PUTRID OFFAL, MASSACRA and AGGRESSOR these were the very first European extreme Metal bands that I started worshiping back in the late 80s / early 90s. They were untouchable at the time and bands like these left an undeniable mark on me as a teenager. Revisiting […]
Finland’s progressive Death Metallers (PSYCHOPARALYSIS) have already recorded their 3rd demo ("Escalation") within 2 years – and I have often seen them compared to bands like DEATH, early AMORPHIS, early SENTENCED and especially BOLT THROWER. Seeing all those band names in comparison to this Finnish quartet, makes you curious about them, right? The "Escalation" demo […]
I was first introduced to the Polish sonic force PRIMAL when I reviewed the "Chapel Of Fear" split for this very site last fall. That was a quite dubious release with some good moments, and some rather mediocre. PRIMAL’s offering was a good split of good deeds and some quite dull elements. PRIMAL is attacking […]
I might not be the biggest ENSLAVED fan around, though I’ve adored and followed the band since "Frost" and have been, more or less, as astonished each time the Norwegians have released new music as a fan of their progression and evolution, so this new little teaser of an EP did soon catch my interest. […]
A palpable hostility immediately surges from the speakers as WORMROT’s latest EP, “Noise” kicks off with ‘Loathsome Delusions’. Barely five minutes in length, “Noise” might be a Thrash Metal styled Grindcore song, rather than one divided into five. Nevertheless songs such as ‘False Assumptions’, ‘Perpetual Extinction’ and ‘Breed To Breed’ – which sounds like a […]
I’m always interested in new and obscure bands. So I was quite curious as Mr. Stöver asked me to do a review of the PUTRID EVOCATION demo. I’ve never heard from them before and couldn’t find any information about them in the world wide web. All I knew is that they are a three piece […]
USA’s Death Metallers EXMORTIS have a new EP out titled “Resurrection… Book Of The Dead”. EXMORTIS also have recently had a release of their old demo material and EP in one album titled “Darkened Path Revealed”. Their new comeback EP runs at just under 18 minutes with a total of 6 tracks and leaves the […]
A little info kit as for starters. The Vale of Pnath (or Pnoth) is a vast pit in H.P. Lovecraft’s underworld. The vale is filled with a mountain-sized heap of bones and Night-gaunts often carry helpless victims to the vale, where they are left to die. So there. Then to move further on, what you […]
