Our good ol’ CORPORATION follows the trail blazed by its predecessor album “Fallout” through the jungle of the underground. The five-piece band, based in Bremen, rages no less rudely on “Time And Tide”, even the sound of the album appears to be almost the same. But yet something is different. The subtle details in the […]
From the churning, dark heart of Vicenza, Italy, BLOODFIELD has forged their latest record “Homunculus Sapiens”. For this sophomore effort, they took some time off since their 2016 debut “Sinners Or Liars”. Undoubtedly their passion lies deep on the good old ways of doing Thrash Metal authentically and dragging the listener deep into the trenches […]
The early Swedish Death Metal scene was arguably one of the oldest, most vibrant and most dense extreme Metal movements in Europe in the late 1980s. The evolutionary leap from first wave to second wave was marked by the establishment of critical acts such as NIHILIST, DISMEMBER, CARNAGE, GRAVE and many others, often featuring a […]
So, I have quite a few questions and opinions about this release, and those who know me will likely agree that’s not necessarily a good thing. These are the moments that always place me in a quandary. Should I start with the good or the bad? Let’s start with the negative, so in this way, […]

Doom Metal… old school Doom Metal… which is basically Doom / Death Metal, but with a quite good variety of influences to give the overall sound a cinematic vibe, much like the essence of bands from The Netherlands in the ’90s. “Always…” being the masterpiece where all are compared to and yes, this band has […]
This is the debut recording of this new Black / Death Metal band from Germany, and holy darkness, it does invoke the best elements of ritualistic Death Metal, with a somber atmosphere and occult essence, that only few bands are capable of creating. Ritualistic, enigmatic and certainly hypnotic at times, every song shows an aura […]
FESSUS is a young Death Metal band coming from Vienna. They don’t bring anything new to the typical formula of the new wave of old school Death Metal, but the result is pretty ok, if you think that this project is only a couple of years old. “Subcutaneous Tomb” is their first full-length album, released […]
BLACK BLEEDING from Belgium, forged in the late ’90s aren’t surely formed to make friends or to make your neighbors happy. They’re here to deliver a musical beating with a broken bottle, and after a decade long wait since “A Bright Future” (2014), their fourth full-length, “Blutwurst,” is exactly the kind of stomach churning filth […]
