PURULENCY hail from Tennessee, USA. Formed back in 2018, “Transcendent Unveiling Of Dimensions” is their debut demo, released by Pulverized Records from Singapore in vinyl and CD versions. It was previously released independently by the band and in protape version by Caligari Records. The opening instrumental song sets the pace for what is about to […]
Grindcore and Hardcore Punk freaks flock together here! KOURISTUS are a Finnish Grindcore band from Tampere, active since 2012. This is a reissue of their “Demo 2022” (two tracks), “Demo 2019” (five tracks) and “Teurastamo” EP 2018 (eight tracks). As you can understand from the name of the 2018 EP every track and lyric is […]
As far as I can recall this is my first experience with SURGERY and they have been around since 2010. I apologize but also right off the top of my head, one of the first bands that I’ve heard hailing from Slovakia. I am sure I have before, but none come to mind at the […]
The masters of brutal Death Metal are back, a brand new full-length, two decades after their last, is now out today. All the signs were out there, first they reissued their full-lengths on vinyl a few months back, which got me thinking about a potential new release, and the day they put out their first […]
This is the second album from this California based band, that can be described as a traditional Doom Metal band, with a sound not far away a from the masters CANDLEMASS or SOLITUDE AETERNUS, but with the addition of having a very heavy Death Metal influence.

Absolutely fascinating what the Polish band ABOVE AURORA packs into just over half an hour of music. And at the same time it still sounds completely harmonious and homogeneous, so that a small masterpiece has been created. This album is already the third full-length, and the band has also released an EP and even a […]
It’s time to answer the question if OBSIDIAN SUN is just another new Black Metal act or a band that enriches your black lives with fine dark music. The main woman behind the band is Obscura, who is also active in ASAGRAUM and other bands. Her new project OBSIDIAN SUN is close to being a […]
The first couple of times, I just pressed play and sat back. I wasn’t hoping “The Mandrake Project” would amount to anything, but BRUCE DICKINSON pulled up a major surprise on me. The man clearly has the pipes and he better, I have tickets to watch IRON MAIDEN this October in Toronto and almost booked […]
“Visions Of The Past” was originally released in 1984, the reissue by Hooked On Metal Records is the 40th anniversary gift to the fans who love traditional Heavy Metal. When my editor passed around the album, I took a day to respond and checked their Bandcamp page in the interim. I loved what I heard […]
