"Macedonian War" is BALTAK’s fourth album. It offers a mixture of Black, Death and Thrash Metal (except for the vocals, which are high-screaming ones throughout the whole album). Honestly said, I do not like "Macedonian War" just like I did not like BALTAK’s previous 3 albums. The whole album lacks of any real feeling and […]
Just when you thought that this battle-band couldn’t take their music any further, but rather push the autopilot-button and do another BAL-SAGOTH album, these fine English gentlemen deliver an album of epic proportions. When I as a listener and reviewer choose to give this album a score that needs auxiliary explanations, it’s not a choice […]
Well, you don’t have to live in Sweden to deliver authentic Svensk Dödsmetall. Italy also seems to be a fine breeding place for traditional Swedish Death Metal. You surely will recognize that while listening to UNDEAD CREEPS’s debut album. Sure, one can say that’s not new and that’s not original. Damned, I don’t care about […]
Anyone remembers this band’s fabulous debut album “Tales Of Necrophilia” from ’99? Back in the days that was a stone cold stunner and though there’s been rumours about another record by this formidable Death / Grind act, this recently reissued, remastered 2002 demo has been the latest sign of life. Actually, except for a solid […]
I was really looking forward to this album as ARMAGEDDA’s Breath Of Night debut full-length "The Final War Approaching" really managed to impress me a lot! And my expectations were even surpassed with "Only True Believers"! For some strange reason it wasn’t released by Drakkar Productions (as originally anounced), but Poland’s Agonia Records. Well, I […]
Well, maybe not the typical album for Voices From The Darkside. So, if you are "just" into Death, Black or whatever else extreme Metal, jump over to another review. What we have got here is pure eighties influenced Metal / Hardrock. The band claims to be influenced by bands like SAXON, DOKKEN, JUDAS PRIEST, DEEP […]
Whaaat?! Where am I? I can swear I was in a civilised world a few minutes ago, but now… I am happy I can still write sensible words. I dig into my memory – there I was, in my living room putting some music on. After this – only barbarity, only animal senses working, no […]
Just listening to the very few first riffs and I know this was going to be something. I cannot stop listening to this little piece of evil Metal. Just killer total old school evil Deathrash / Black Metal with deadly guitar riffs that recalls the glory days of SLAYER, the blasphemy force of POSSESSED and […]
There is an old saying that on old "horses" you really learn to ride and the new ARTILLERY album "When Death Comes" is the perfect example for this statement. I think everybody who calls himself a Thrash Metal fan will at least own one of the demos or official releases of this Danish cult act […]
"Death… The Brutal Way" is the first album from Dutch Death Metal stalwarts ASPHYX since their 2000 reunion. As with all first albums, fans will be asking themselves, "Should they have stayed disbanded?", "Can they still cut it?", etc but fear not; this album marks a furious return to form for ASPHYX… it’s a comeback… […]
