Writing this review took me an awful lot of time. Definitely not the band’s fault, though. "Apology For Pathology" has been blocking my stereo for ages but somehow I neither found the time nor the energy to write this review. Hopefully not my apology for HAEMORRHAGE’s pathology cause with a little bit of luck they […]
Another reissue of this live album originally released back in 1991. Let me state straight away that I’ve never been a devoted HADES fan because their first single releases from wayyyy back never captured my attention so I’ve always passed on this band and it wasn’t until the 2000s as they had "DamNation" released that […]
Cyclone Empire Records presents HADES’ debut, re-released with 5 bonus tracks. I guess "Resisting Success" (originally released in 1987) was out of print and in demand after HADES reformed for some shows last year, so for those who lost their copies or for new fans this is a good chance to grab some original 80s […]
In the line of reissues Cyclone Empire Records released from HADES (US), their famous second album "If At First You Don’t Succeed" can’t be excluded. This one features at least 6 bonus tracks that rounds it up to a total of 19 tracks! The sound is awesome, thanks to a great remastering job. As you […]
Emerging from the very depths of Mexico, being reduced to a two-man band after their debut "Venganza" released in 2005 HACAVITZ are once again back to transfer the spirit of the late eighties / early nineties to the next millenium. Anyone who is searching for new ideas, modern elements or whatever within the Death / […]
Thrash Metal is all around these days – and new bands seem to be popping up from the (under-)ground like mushrooms after a heavy rain. But hey, that’s only a good thing in my opinion. CEASELESS TORMENT comes from Finland where the whole Thrash Metal boom has also reached a new level of enthusiasm and […]
Any fan of THE GATHERING would be hard pressed to find another collection of material that can match the “Downfall” collection in detail. All of the crucial songs that comprised the early architecture of THE GATHERING are here, including the 1992 promo, a 1990 rehearsal, an unreleased EP, the 1990 demo “An Imaginary Symphony” and […]
Yes, some more raging old school thrash for your ears all the way from the land of the rising sun! Grim Force are a bit more controled and catchy in direct comparison to their labelmates Terror Squad but nevertheless manage to deliver the goods the way it needs to be all throughout their first (?) […]
Well, if you like raw Black Metal with totally sick and raspy screams, that are accompanied by Pagan Metal-like clean vocals / chants and some simple keyboard passages, then GREAT VAST FOREST from Brazil might be the right choice for you! There’s definitely nothing very innovative about this band, except maybe that this kind of […]
GRAUPEL started out as a project in 1995, originally formed by NAGELFAR’s Rykthius (drums) and Sveinn (bass) who joined forces at the time with DESECRATION’s vocalist / guitarist Zingultus in order to play "100% pure, early 90s Black Metal"… But due to lack of common rehearsal time the whole idea basically fell apart until Zingultus […]
