Some days you gotta embrace darkness, let it into your already darkened soul, let it be the soundtrack of a flight of thoughts, a journey through the murky parts of the mind and soul, grimness breeds grimness. Some music is better than other for such kind of days, though Black Metal is taking the price […]
Starting under a DWELL WITHIN name in 2005, this Oklahoma-based slightly progressive and psychedelic Doom Metal / Rock band MEMORY DRIVEN keeps on getting good reviews from all over the world – and the reason for that is their 2nd record, which was released on the independent Swedish underground label I Hate Records in September […]
According strictly to the words of founding member Jussi Lehtisalo of PHARAOH OVERLÖRD, there are two ‘different’ incarnations of the band; one written PHARAOH OVERLORD and one PHARAOH OVERLÖRD – and each of them has different lineups. The latter mentioned, PHARAOH OVERLÖRD, have released 2 studio albums under this moniker, off which their 6th record, "Out […]
"Apo Pantos Kako Daimonos" (from their cult song ‘Decade Of Therion’) is still a powerful incantation even if the BEHEMOTH beast has left his Pagan / Black Metal homeland over the years to conquer MORBID ANGEL territory. "Live Eschaton" was originally published in 2000 as a normal video but these days Metal Mind is re-releasing […]
On March 31, 2010 MEGADETH played a sold out show at the Hollywood Palladium in California and taped it for this DVD / CD package. As expected, the result is a very professional release that offers great camera work and excellent picture quality, but an audio part that unfortunately isn’t completely synchronized from time to […]
I’m really becoming an Insidious Poisoning fan due to the fact that their releases still own the old touch and true meaning of Black Metal. So again a very extreme release even if WOLOK are heading to a complete different direction. The band members are involved in several other French bands (DEVILISH ERA, LA DIVISION […]
Fans of blackened, harsh old school Thrash Metal in general and PROTECTOR fans in particular should pay attention here! This amazing little piece of plastic is not only visually a real gem (it comes as a picture disc with the bloody red logo on one side and a tribute to Michael Hasse picture on the […]
Old school Death Metal with a huge AUTOPSY influence is nothing special anymore in these times. To play it in such a quality as BONE SICKNESS present on their upcoming 7" EP through Detest Records is not that usual. I have to admit that these 2 songs are my first contact with BONE SICKNESS as […]
In my humble opinion, Death-Doom is a criminally underrated sub-genre in Metal. It is just incredible how great bands committed to the style never got the attention and respect they deserved. Some of them are personal faves such as SORROW (USA), AS SERENITY FADES (FIN), SPINA BIFIDA (NED), THERGOTHON (FIN) and WINTER (USA). ASCENDED could […]
One of the longest running and most cult-ish US Epic / Heavy Metal bands, Kansas-based MANILLA ROAD, have come really far – I mean REALLY damn far in their career. "Playground Of The Damned" is the band’s already 15th (yes, 15th, can you believe it) full-length studio album – under the MANILLA ROAD’s name, during […]
