Young and potential Metal bands seem to pop up from everywhere like those giant-sized mushrooms after a highly toxic, acid rain. One of these more potentially glowing mushr… (err!), I mean Metal bands, in my humble opinion is SKELETAL; a young 4-piece Death / Thrash Metal band that released their self-titled 4-track promotional demo-CD last […]
From Nässjö, Sweden, hail these 5 pot smelling hippies, also better known as a group carrying the name EL CAMINO. The band was formed in the winter of 2002 / 03, taking a primary life’s task of theirs to spread the message about wonderful worlds of culture, occultism, history and overall a bit darker sides […]
Is the word ‘mordant’ one of the synonyms for all things utterly evil? Yes, I bet it is. Would this particular MORDANT in the very question reign more in Hell than the grandmaster of fire and brimstones himself, Satan? Definitely! Does their logo have a clear reminiscent of the legendary Brazilian SARCOFAGO’s logo? Yep, it […]

MAGNANIMUS’ "Storms Of Chaotic Revelations" CD was already released in 2006 through the label Rawforce Productions… Now 3 years later Swedish Blood Harvest Records released this album in the LP version.

AEGRUS is a three piece Finnish Black Metal act that has been spreading chaos and black plague since 2005 with their 3 outings so far, off which their latest 4-track EP, titled "Luciferian Engravings", obviously pushes the nails even deeper into the cross where Jesus wept and died. Musically AEGRUS blends a grim and fast […]
I’ve used quite a long time to come up with some words for this album, it hasn’t been the easiest task to get the essence of "Subliminal Messages" from the Polish doomy Black Metal band DEEP DESOLATION penned down. This is their first offering, that was released more or less together with their part of […]
4 tracks of sinster, dark and melancholic Black Metal is what the German one man band DEATHGATE ARKANUM is delivering with the new release "Seelen". ‘Tremor I – IV’ takes us on an atmospherically and rather disturbing journey of grey darkness and negativity.
