These are the releases I’ve been waiting for! I never enjoyed the Nuclear Blast compilation-version which was released several years ago. No live-songs, no intros, a thin sound and a very cheap layout. I must confess I did buy the CD when I heard it was out on the market, but when I got it, […]
After 10 years of underground existence MESMERIZED from Poland finally release their debut with ten songs of Black / Thrash Metal and on first instance think that a playing time of 29 minutes including a previously released bonus track is really at the bottom line. Don’t want to go deeper because it’s the music that […]
Here wo go. Another old school release on vinyl from the great High-Roller-Records. This record was originally released in 1993. I first thought it was a release from the American Thrash Metal band MERCILESS DEATH, but the names of the band members on the back of the sleeve didn’t fit to it. So Google told […]
Not long ago I wrote about the vinyl release of "Sick Sanctities" from these Polish Thrashers and here is the next release through High-Roller-Records. "Holocaust" contains the second demo of the band which was released for the first time in 1992 but never on vinyl before. The record starts with two minutes of a silent […]
I remember the first time I heard this CD last year (as it was originally released in 2006 as the band’s debut demo. Now re-pressed with a pro booklet, pro cover art by none other than Ed "Fucking" Repka and what appears to be a heavier overall remix) I was fuckin’ shocked to say the […]
As soon as I saw an ad about the issuing of this album, I decided to buy it as fast as I could, hastily assuming that I would get something special because of my inclination towards extreme Brazilian stuff. I should have been wiser by postponing my decision, as "Proclaiming Vengeance" revealed itself to be […]
Death Metal bands from Brazil tend to play very fast, which is usually not a bad thing. MENTAL HORROR are from Brazil and after a split CD with QUEIRON and their first album "Proclaiming Vengeance" they have now released their second full-length opus, which is more than fast, it’s continuous lightspeed! In the info sheet, […]
After an almost never-ending delay this classic material finally was re-issued on CD and vinyl (ltd. to 500 copies!). Don’t know why it took so incredibly long, but I couldn’t care less as the result certainly makes up for everything. The packaging is highly impressive – the CD comes in a completely black jewel case, […]
To me MAYHEMIC TRUTH always used to be one of the best, if not THE best German Black Metal act ever! And even though the members continued on in MORRIGAN after the split-up, the classic MAYHEMIC TRUTH material always remained really special to me. So, I was really pleased when Iron Pegasus Records put out […]
Oh dear – I don’t know whether I should be liable of such a review actually. MASTER are a living classic, and this cannot be ignored because it is a fact. The act has been active since the beginning of the 80s – and they are still around. I must say that I do not […]
