"The Human Repellent" is a debut full-length album from Dutch I CHAOS, who first made their statement of intent with a well-recieved 4 song EP in 2009. So on "The Human Repellent" they don’t beat around the bush and go straight for the kill employing the fiercest Death / Thrash Metal ammunition. Face ripping riffs, […]
DRAWN AND QUARTERED is back. Hell yeah, that’s what I call good news. A new label and a new logo, seems like a lot has happened since the release of the last album "Merciless Hammer Of Lucifer" in 2007. Fortunately not too much, the music is still the same. DRAWN AND QUARTERED still delivers over […]
The Horror! Yes… the horror… because this is what DENIAL OF GOD are about… This Danish lot has been a part of the underground for solid 15 years to finally release its debut full-length album which clocks around at one hour. The nine compositions are very varied: from the classic organ intro at the beginning, […]
If there is a band which will undoubtedly carry the name of Doom Metal, is this Swedish act. Pure, unaltered, slow and even sleep inducing Doom Metal of the highest caliber. Hypnotic might even fit the description. Still, as I am mesmerized by the great works of the Doom masters, going back to the roots, […]
Dark, suffocating brutal Death Metal in the debut album of this Australian band, formed in 2010. The crushing guitars and the down-tuned chants of agonizing grief permeate the whole album form the very first seconds. Still, this is a musical style that very few can get out with a triumph. Pretty much like the brutal […]
FEARER already released a demo tape back in 1996 with a somewhat weak production. On the other hand, one could already sense their potential. Five years later the East Frisians (of course) present their relatively long, well produced CD “The Grinning Face Of Death” without any fillers! Obviously they had enough time to collect material […]
The 2nd demo of UK based CRUCIAMENTUM is still a goodie, even 2 years after the official release. Back then the original tape was limited to 300 pro-printed copies, so finally Greeks finest Death Metal underground label Nuclear Winter took over the duties in spreading the plague on 10" vinyl and MCD format. Expect no […]
An invasion of Finnish retro Death Metal bands continues… part ‘lost-my-count-already’… SERPENT ASCENDING is a creation of Jarno Nurmi who plays all instruments and does the vocals in SERPENT ASCENDING, and who has previously earned his spurs in such bands as NERLICH, NOWEN, SLUGATHOR, NIGHT MUST FALL and DESECRESY. Having all this history with both […]
I liked "Breaking The Wheel" – ELIMINATOR’s debut album on Blood Harvest (LP-version) – a lot and listened to it plenty of times. "The One They Were Waiting For" is their third full-length output and I have listened to it plenty of times, too. Plenty of times in order to judge it correct and write […]
HATRED EMBRACED, hailing from New Jersey, has arrived to blast us away with a solid dose of heavy, churning Death Metal with some healthy Thrash Metal influences spicing up the guitar riffs, leads and overall composition of the music. A heavy and crushing atmosphere, reminding me of the heydays of the Chicago Death Metal scene, […]
