I wasn’t really aware of these guys before and certainly wouldn’t even have considered checking them out (first of all because of their rather weird band name, which – just like their lyrics – is probably also inspired by the ancient abysmal Babylonian and Sumerian deities) if I hadn’t received a free review copy from […]
NECROS CHRISTOS is truly a very special band and in my humble opinion it is one of the, if not THE, most important of all contemporary Death Metal bands. NECROS CHRISTOS creates an absolute unique and macabre atmosphere. if you’re listening to "Doom Of The Occult" you can smell and feel all the sinister and […]
Great, NECROPSY are back again! Fucking great! Which NECROPSY you may ask? The Finnish band, which released some cool demos back in the early nineties? The German one which released the good "Some Dark Impressions" 7" EP on Century Media back in 1991? Or one of the countless other NECROPSY’s all over the world? It’s […]
Even though 1987’s "Season Of The Dead" is considered one of the first Death Metal albums ever released, I wouldn’t necessarily label NECROPHAGIA a Death Metal band these days. Killjoy’s insane, twisted and rather hysterical vocal delivery has become a lot more intense nowadays and has certainly nothing to do with the usual deathgrunting of […]
NECROPHAGIA was one of the first Death Metal bands, which started with their first demo back in 1984. I didn’t know the music of the band but the name is wellknown, especially because of their image and affectation for gore and horror movies. So now, this is the re-release of the primary published "Holocausto De […]
NECROMANCIA from Brazil was founded in 1984 but they didn’t release much stuff: two tracks on a compilation in 1985, a single in 1994 and their debut album in 1997 which was highly influenced by bands like MAIDEN, BLACK SABBATH and MOTÖRHEAD according to my info sheet. Partly, this slow output speed is due to […]
This release from Dutch Death Metal sickos NECROLOGY is obviously representing a long range of the band’s development: track 1 – 5 were recorded in 2000, whereas track 6 – 11 were done in 1998. What all the tracks have in common (although the older ones are more ‘old school’) is the extreme approach: I […]
First of all, I have to thank Nikro from Destructive Records for having given this CD to me. Let’s talk about the thing now. Here we go with a quite cool Death Metal act from Paris, that had already left a good impression on me with their first demo called "Foetal Sodomy". It’s amazing that […]
It’s getting more and more obscure with the re-releases these days and I bet not too many people will actually still remember (or have ever heard of) Hollands NECRO SCHIZMA… So, does a CD re-issue of their one and only ’89 demo "Erupted Evil" really make sense then? I’m not quite sure. It’s always easy […]
I have to admit that I wasn’t really aware of these Japanese Old school Thrashers before I received this release, but I certainly won’t forget about them from now on, that’s for sure! The ten featured (highly impressive) songs on their new album "Twicet Of Fate" deliver perfectly executed raw Thrash Metal with clean, yet […]
