Michael Dorrian (on vocals and guitar), Steve (on bass) and Dirk Verbeuren (on drums) are ANATOMY OF I; an extreme Metal band that is full of musical experience from so many other bands and / or projects (no need to go into any specific details). ANATOMY OF I haven’t chosen the easiest way to be […]
Massachusetts’ own Metal proud MELIAH RAGE has reached another milestone in their long career, their 8th studio album in order, titled "Dead To The World". Mike Munro, who sang on MELIAH RAGE’s previous 2009 album "Masquarade" (as he has also sung on many other MELIAH RAGE albums earlier – being the band’s original vocalist), has […]
Despite being plagued by countless line-up changes over the last couple of years, Polish Death Metal veterans VADER have never suffered in terms of quality throughout their over 25 years long career. As a long-time fan of the band I was of course quite curious regarding "Welcome To The Morbid Reich" (especially since the title […]
It’s been 4 long years since German blackened Thrash / Death Metal act DISÖRDER recorded their debut album, titled "Wolvenstein". The band’s follow-up album, "Sin For Salvation – The Lucifer Chronicles", that is about to get released soon – well, hopefully at least, all I can say is that some things are gladly never meant […]
Jesus lives!!! And he lives in Colombia these days… Luckily his musical taste has also changed from the quite boring Hare Krishna chants to morbid old school blackened Death Metal. Hell yessss! And you know what? He even ended up doing a small, yet very fine fanzine, entitled BELLS OF ACHERON. Don’t know why he […]
GOREGAST from Germany aren’t a novelty act, no way, they’ve been crafting their sick trade since 2005, but even before that, from 1993, as DISTRESS. Now I won’t go into full bio details and stuff, suffice to say that the guys know the difference between good, old fashioned Death / Grind and modern sounding "br00tal […]
OZ is BACK!!! Yes, originally formed in 1977 in a small town called Nakkila, Finland – and later relocating and disbanding in Sweden, the Finnish Heavy Metal legends OZ – without a doubt, did surprise most of us by collecting their troops in February 2010 again, to make new uncompromising and straightforward Heavy Metal, in […]
A few years have passed since the release of issue # 8 from this north of Germany based freak with the "gay"-gantic humor, but now he’s back! The NECROMANIAC himself! Actually there’s not much to say, expect for: YOU NEED IT!!! This issue # 9 basically hits the same target audience like MYSTICAL MUSIC does, […]
Finnish Thrash / Death Metal quintet SKIRMISH has been around since 2005, and released 3 EPs by themselves before Violent Journey Records got interested in them. This group’s debut album, "Through The Abacinated Eyes", does not leave many question marks hanging in the air why the owner of the label decided to attach SKIRMISH to […]
My initial reaction after the first spin was "Holy motherfuckin’ shit!!" Literally, I felt like being overrun by a 1000 ton tank on steroids trying to find my flattened skull and splattered guts!! No shit, DEATH TOLL 80K perfectly lives up to their name and deliver no-frills, straight up mix of fiery Grindcore / Crust […]
