After their debut-album ”Raw Meat Experience” the German Death/Thrash Metal band Sufferage is back with their second album called ”Bloodspawn”. You can expect a well-done bastard of bands like Sepultura ("Chaos A.D." era), some Sinister, even some older Swedish hordes (Grave) and also a bit of Morgoth and Pestilence. The brutal voice of Jasmin Fleiner […]
The old Black Metal cult has infected the whole world in the last 20 years, including far away places like Australia, Brazil and South Africa. So, holding an album in your hands from one of the busiest bands from Down Under, STRIBORG, should no longer surprise. Displeased Records are quite successful during the last 12 […]
Although the Swedish brutal Deathers first demo assault "Carnage In Heaven" was not a perfect example for originality, it convinced by concise and straight forward songwriting and the first class Chris Barnes-imitator Dennis Röndum of VISCERAL BLEEDING. Now they have a new man on the mike named Jonathan O.G. (does that stand for "original gangster"?), […]
Wow, what a fantastic demo! The three songs featured here contain finest brutal Death Metal from Sweden comparable to older CANNIBAL CORPSE (especially the session vocals done by Dennis of SPAWN OF POSSESSION / VISCERAL BLEEDING remind me of Chris Barnes) or DEICIDE, but STRANGULATION are definitely no copy, because they add their own straightness […]
No doubt about it, this is some of the most straightforward Death worship out there. Not your usual melancholy-filled-and-full-of-resignation Death, though. This is more like an angry assault of thousand Grim Reapers hurrying to finish their job. STRANDHOGG are a Black / Death Metal band from Poland that, with their first album, create an atmosphere […]
After zillions of corpse painted musicians that all claimed to be the most evil and extreme throughout the last couple of years, it certainly has become more and more difficult to establish a band within the Black Metal scene nowadays. And the fact that STORMCROW are hailing from Milan in sunny Italy probably won’t help […]
This band needs a new name like the Singaporeans ABVULABASHY or perhaps even more so. I have yet to hear of one so unintelligible and just phonetically goofy. What is that? STINKY PLA-MENU? Horrible. I mean of all the names a group can choose from STINY PLAMENU is the one you all raise your fists […]
It seems pretty obvious that Polish Death / Black satanists STILLBORN had to stretch their debut album so that "Satanas El Grande" clocks in after slightly more than half an hour. A 40 seconds intro and a cover song strongly suggest so. But better short than boring, eh? STILLBORN are quite some speed freaks and […]
The debut album of Germany’s STERBEND will definitely be a case of those like-it or hate-it albums. If you liked BURZUM ca. "Det Som Engang Var" / "Hvis Lyset…" – era or the fantastic SILENCER album, this will most likely appeal to you, as really everything reminds of those two bands: those very long depressive […]
Coming across a band that consists of TRIBULATION and NECROVATION members made me expect to hear something similar to at least one of these great, yet definitely differently sounding Death Metal bands; however the result is damn surprising – in fact, STENCH sounds totally different from both. Instead of making utterly heavy or blood freezing, […]
