Nuclear Winter Records did great with catching up MYTHOS and releasing first their killer "Moulded In Clay" demo on a marvelous 10" EP with a topnotch packing and now their debut album "Pain Amplifier". The 10" EP is already sold out from the label and now NWR offers MYTHOS’ debut album "Pain Amplifier" on black […]
…and yet another Melodic Death Metal band I got to like. Maybe Frank should sack me right now ; -) . Yes, MOURNING CARESS from Münster, Germany, are definitely fans of bands such as IN FLAMES, SOILWORK and the likes. What counts for MOURNING CARESS is the fact that they’re good musicians (in comparison to […]
When I’m not listening to Death, Black or Thrash Metal, I use to put on more doomy, slower stuff such as SAINT VITUS, CANDLEMASS or the first CATHEDRAL. Now MOURNING BELOVETH can be added to this list. They are a fantastic band from Ireland, whose "Dust" album I will listen to in the coming months, […]
I know for sure that there is only water between Sweden and Finland but nevertheless it’s un-avoidable to link MOURNFUL GUST musically just right between both countries. The Ukrainian band is playing melodic Doom Metal and this release is like a good bottle of wine, it’s becoming better day by day. If Holy Records would […]
"Worn Down Dream", the new full-length by Phoenix, Arizona based four-piece MOTIVE should be of interest to all those of you who still worship the godfathers of Thrash Metal, SLAYER! The band has already released another album ("Damned If You Do, Dead If You Don’t") and a four song EP, both completely on their own. […]
MORTUARY TEMPLE originally started out as a full band a couple of years ago, but over the course of time evolved into a one man project, lead by ex – LUNAR AURORA drummer Profanatitas who also handles all instruments and vocals on this debut release. "Demo 1" features five intros / outros as well as […]
I still remember the first time I was faced with this Australian band. Back there, it was all new for me to know about a Speed Thrash Metal band from there. All I knew, from the few magazines and fanzines was that they were more or less the Australian answer to METALLICA. Then again, by […]
Doom? Not so sure about that. No BLACK SABBATH, no SAINT VITUS, no CANDLEMASS, no SOLITUDE AETURNUS on here. If you consider MY DYING BRIDE, (early) PARADISE LOST or ANATHEMA as being Doom… maybe. But the melodies and especially the keyboards sound so "happy" I’d call it Gothic if I was being nasty. Secondly, the […]
Recently I read an article about a person, who was comatose for 19 years, and this person missed a lot of events happening in the world and he must have been quite amazed to see how many things have changed. So if anyone reading this review was off duty for the same time and missed […]
What do you expect from a band whose members look almost exactly like old TREBLINKA on the pictures inside the CD booklet, who call themselves Bitchfire, Leatherdemon, Carnage and Necrophilac and who furthermore come up with songtitles like ‘Pestilent’, ‘Horde Of Satan’, ‘Whores Of Destruction’ etc.? Yeah right, this is indeed another raw and simple […]
