Time to dust off your tape decks – a cassette release from the Belgian trio BLACK BLEEDING demands your attention. On five tracks these guys elaborate on their brand of fast grinding Black / Death Metal. Actually, every song comes across quite different than the others making it hard to pinpoint the style of BLACK […]
BLACK ANGEL belong to one of the oldest, still active Black Metal hordes from the Peruan wastelands and Latin America in general. Ex – members of this cult act formed bands like GOAT SEMEN or LEVIFER (just to name a few). This hellish outfit released several demos within the last years and some of them […]
Ramon’s assessment of the present piece of zomie-shit: with "Join The Dead" BK49 perfectly satisfy a Metalhead’s basic instincts! F. Cthulhu E.’s rather extensive assessment, which you are adviced to check if you don’t wanna be devoured by a horde of mutilated zombies: "Da fliegt einem ja die Feder aus der Matte!"… as once an […]
This is the third demo CD by BITTERNESS from Southern Germany, who are obviously very committed to what they are doing because packaging and sound are on a very high level for a self-financed release. They play a blend of old school Thrash / Death / Black Metal, strongly inspired by the late 80s / […]
I was totally ignorant of the very existence of this band until I grabbed this compilation CD, featuring the entire recordings this outfit from the Netherlands ever laid down. This reissue is done with taste and comes complete with the detailed story of this bunch of maniacs and their short and troubled musical career. For […]
The BESTIAL MOCKERY & KARNARIUM sects have joined forces on this slab of uncompromising rawness and alcohol-fueled aggression as a taster of their upcoming albums (KARNARIUM just released theirs I think) but I’m afraid this split EP is worth to get just because of the BESTIAL MOCKERY songs. There is not much words needed to […]
Even if BESTIAL MOCKERY’s previous effort was immensely enjoyable, you can forget about it now, so much this Swedish unholy horde comes back with a 100% better release. The band progressed in every departments and now stands as a sure value in the very crowded Death / Black Metal field. BESTIAL MOCKERY have maintained the […]
With bands like BESTIAL MOCKERY in their roster, the future shines bright for Osmose Productions I can tell you. This Swedish outfit dedicate themselves to a form of Black / Death very reminiscent of the 80s, but without playing the too wellknown card of a "retro" musical statement. The three individuals forming BESTIAL MOCKERY are […]
First I had hostile feelings towards this CD, simply because it is about -again- Black Metal with all the clichés attached to it: nationalistic vibes (the band claim to play "Celtiberian" Black Metal, well maybe in the future we will see some "Fidjian" Black Metal emerge?), stupid nicknames and grotesque outfit based on corpse paint […]
BENIGHTED was formed back in 1998 in the Lyon area (France). Initially they reportedly played a mix of Black Metal and Death Metal, but now they seem to concentrate only on the Death side of things. Well, this album shows qualities (like competent but not striking musicianship, a real effort to come up with original […]
