After 15 years of activity in the underground Dutch JUDGMENT DAY finally come up up with their second album "40 Minutes To Impact" – roughly nine years after their debut. I remember one live show in Leer some years ago and I was quite impressed by their Thrash-influenced Death Metal bearing slight resemblances to older […]
Admittedly, I still think that INQUISITION is live better than on disc, but once again the duo has unleashed a superb three-quarter of an hour of ancient Black Metal. Blastbeats mixed with very melodious doomy, sometimes even groovy parts and above all the very distinct voice of Dagon, mastermind of this US/Colombian band. The complete […]
For those of you not familiar with INHUME, they are a Grindcore band from the Netherlands with quite a few albums already underneath their belt. I am by no means an expert on Grindcore but I know what I like and I like this. With this music I usually don’t hear much variety but this […]
I’m not really a big fan of Grindcore, but still have to admit that this scene deserves a lot of respect for being so incredibly active throughout the years. All involved bands, labels, zines, distributors etc. are probably far more honest in what they’re doing than in any other underground movement as they never had […]
Sweden has a foothold in every kind of Metal now. They began with Metal, then Doom (CANDLEMASS), then Death Metal, Melodic Metal, and of course, Black Metal – though not necessarily in that order. MARDUK will always remain Sweden’s premier Black Metal band, but not the band to whom every Swedish band aspires to be […]
Quite difficult to start the review of this Spanish band which is presenting their official debut with "Chainsaw’s Law". INFERNOISE are musically far away from home and can be located on the other side of the ocean right between the Bay Area Metal camp and their American Heavy Metal brothers. Just imagine a wild bastard […]
This Polish five piece gained themselves quite a lot of negative attention already because of the fact that they used to come up with a mini album entitled "Infernal SS" as well as songtitles like ‘Jewhammer’, ‘Genocide Command’ or ‘Czarne Legiony SS (Black Legions Of SS)’. Two members of the band (guitarist Triumphator and drummer […]
Karl Beckmann’s (ex-MITHOTYN, ex-INDUNGEON) new band is called INFERNAL VENGEANCE. With some hesitation one might still call it Melodic Death/Thrash Metal, especially when thinking of all those bands sounding like MAIDEN with a singer who can’t sing considering themselves as Death Metal. INFERNAL VENGEANCE are not that faceless as all those IN FLAMES clones and […]
This violent four piece outfit delivers really damned good brutal, ferocious killer Death Metal. INFECTED MALIGNITY are saluting from Tokyo and puke out their first three song demo, simply entitled "Demo 2005". It’s unbelievable that the band was just founded in Sept. 2004 by three ex-members of DEFIANT MANNER (Katsuyuki, Takuma & Yuuto… Keiichi completes […]
This 3 song promo CD-R is just a little taste of things to come, cause UK Grinders INFECTED DISARRAY will release their complete full-length debut "Disseminating Obscenity" on French Deadsun Records in October 2001. All tracks on this promo are taken from that forthcoming album and are nothing but e.x.t.r.e.m.e.!! The band is blasting through […]
