GOSPEL OF THE HORNS have returned with a great, new, full-length album. "Realm Of The Damned" presents GOSPEL OF THE HORNS stronger than ever performing their Aussie Thrash-layered Death Metal in the typical GOSPEL way. Still, this time, their compositions sound more solid and at times more catchy (in a positive way) than in the […]
Australians best kept secret? Well, probably… GOSPEL OF THE HORNS already used to terrorize the underground several years ago, when they released a rather classic demo entitled "Satanists Dream", but unfortunately splitted up in 1995 for reasons beyond my knowledge. A couple years later original bassplayer / vocalist Howitzer resurrected GOSPEL OF THE HORNS with […]
Whenever the world is swept with a deluge of burpy, hyper accelerated Death Metal like ORIGIN or DYING FETUS, it’s hard to remember that extreme Death Metal had a much more decaffenated, and as a result, more accessible definition. GORTAL evidently remember that it’s perfectly acceptable to sound like MUTILATED or DEMENTOR. A schizophrenic thrashiness, […]
Before I come to the actual music let me tell you that I just don’t get it why people (or bands in particular) enjoy stupid cover art like this. It’s even more confusing when you find out that the "artist" that GOREROTTED have used for their sleeve, usually works as a comic book "artist" for […]
“There have been rumors that GOREAPHOBIA have broken up. This is not true! However Chris Gamble, their vocalist, has left the band… GOREAPHOBIA have released a new two song demo for promotional purposes and fans alike…” These quotes are taken from an old flyer that the band used to spread around at the time when […]
Wow, is it really fifteen years already since the cool "Necrology" demo / EP reared its ugly head? Unbelievable! I still remember very well that I played the (enhanced) CD version of it pretty often at the time (released via Relapse in 1993) and always thought that these guys were kinda close to make it […]
OF TREES AND ORCHIDS’ Florian recently gave this CD of his second band to me. Some of you may know the title track from "Only Death Is Real Vol. 4", actually one of the rare few outstanding songs on that sampler. The first detail that already strikes you about the intro is the vocalist, Konstantin […]
Smash your icons, turn your crosses upside down and burn your beloved, local churches… Namely these infernal n’ hungry Aussie wolfs of Satan, are amongst us – after for your weak flesh… naturally. THE FUROR is the name of this destructive warmachine which obvious goal is to spread chaos and annihilation to everywhere, at least […]
What a big surprise! I never heard of Polish FURIA before and to discover such a killer release is one of the great parts of this job. Poland has a quite brutal (musicwise) and very healthy underground but also gives birth to jewels like FURIA’s "Grundzien Za Grundniem" which means "December after December". Released on […]
Have you ever heard about a band from Växjö, Sweden called FURBOWL? Some of you might have and some of you don’t. But I am sure that all the readers of Voices From The Darkside can handle the term Death’n’Roll, right? The majority of people might have ENTOMBED on their mind. Of course these guys […]
