USA’s OCEANS OF NIGHT mastermind Scott Mosher sent in 2 albums for review so I figured I would review both in one review. This band is considered to be Ambient Progressive Rock / Metal and they do live up to the title. From their Facebook page they describe themselves as, "OCEANS OF NIGHT is a […]
French label Antiq Records sent in a copy of the latest album by the French Brutal Death / Doom Metal band Ě titled “Kherubim”. The band incorporates some Middle Eastern style instruments to give it a MELECHESH / NILE type of vibe and the album has a total of 12 tracks running just over an […]
Italian Death / Thrash Metal combo METHEDRAS ain’t any rookies in the worldwide Metal scene anymore. The band started out back in 1996 – and since then they have released 3 full-length studio albums off which their latest one, "Katarsis", was put out in 2009 already by Punishment 18 Records. Musically, they sound like a […]
Great! What an intense and raging assault of total Thrash / Speed Metal here. Hailing from Quebec / Canada, BOMBNATION makes you headbang like a maniac and leaves you back with a diabolic grin in your face. If you are a Metalhead you will be possessed by their tunes right from the start. If not, […]
American, Death, Thrash… For sure one is not fooled after the play button has been pressed, for SACRIFICIAL SLAUGHTER and ENFUNERATION really do bring these words to the listener’s mind after the first notes start to drill into the brain. Being signed by Horror Pain Gore Death Productions surely means quality. And I acknowledge that […]
This Italian quartet was founded in 2001 under the name GRIMNESS, which was risen from the ashes of Hardcore / Grindcore band VALLIUM. The addition of 69 in 2005 marked a musical change from chaotic Grindcore to Death Metal / Grindcore. "The Bridge" is already their third album after "Grimness Avenue 69" from 2005 and […]
HATESPAWN is definitely one of the most promising bands of the new wave of darkened old school Death Metal and I’m eagerly waiting for the HATESPAWN debut full-length… but unfortunately it is not in sight yet. So we have to be happy with just one new song on this split 7" and if you are […]
It’s been a while since the release of the first FUNERUS album in 2002 and many things happened since then: vocalist and founding member Brad Heiple (now in ABYSME) and drummer Kyle left. A new drummer was found in Sam Inzerra and bass player Jill is doing a great job in the vocal department. I […]
The past year we witnessed a surge of strong debuts from Death Metal bands, young and old. OMINOUS CRUCIFIX are one of the what seems like a growing number of new talents worldwide. Mexico already has a proud Metal tradition, but there’s always room for fresh blood. “The Spell Of Damnation” is their debut album, […]
DENIAL FIEND’s debut album "They Rise" was an excellent slab of pure Death Metal. Now, after 4 years and a slight line-up change, the guys are back for more. Besides new drummer Rob Rampy (of D.R.I. fame), their second album, "Horror Holocaust" features Blaine "Fart" Cook on vocals. And here is where the line is […]
