This first ASSASSIN release since 6 years does everything to ressurrect the glory days of the famous German Thrash Metal. Just like "The Club" from 2005, "Breaking The Silence" left me a bit disappointed. Hate to say this, because it contains all ingredients for the once so successful formula, like galloping rhythms, furious riffing ad […]
I am not familiar with the Ukrainian scene (Ukraine is yet the country of half of my ancestors), and this release is my first real contact with it. "The Eyes Of The Beast" is already the third album of ASTROFAES and it shows, as I am totally convinced by the quality and freshness of the […]
ATOMIC AGGRESSOR were one of the South American multitude in the 80s, standing proudly alongside DEATH YELL and PENTAGRAM. This recording contains all of their demo tracks starting from their humble origins, to 1991. Fans who know their Death and Thrash Metal should know what to expect from bands of South America in the late […]
Well, I think meanwhile it has become a widely known fact that people into filthy yet extreme Metal should concentrate on Australian acts: DESTROYER 666, ABOMINATOR, GOSPEL OF THE HORNS, GRENADE, URGRUND, CAULDRON BLACK RAM should be enough good examples. ATOMIZER belong in this category, too, although their War Metal elements can be reduced to […]
I read a lot about this outfit in the last 1-2 years and "Antichristian Metal Axe" is finally the first output from them which I’m able to listen to. Therefore you can understand that I listened to this CD with high expectation. ATTACKER BLOODY AXE is a Chilean (Black) Thrash Metal outfit in the classic […]
These guys must’ve been quite busy over the past couple of years as they already appeared on three compilation albums, contributed tracks to no less than five tribute records (MORBID ANGEL, JUDAS PRIEST, BLACK SABBATH, DIO and SLAYER), put out a mini CD entitled "Mansions Of Eternity" in 1996 and two full-lengths ("Praise The Archaic […]
Although their band name sounds a bit silly, the technical US Black / Death act AURORA BOREALIS convinced me with their last album "Northern Lights" (2001) that names do not mean a thing. On their newest album Ron Vento (vocals / guitars / bass) und Tim Yeung (drums) unleash a much more brutal Black / […]
The music that made AUTOPSY so influential on "Severed Survival" and "Mental Funeral" hadn’t completely vanished by the time "Acts Of The Unspeakable" was released. A more definite departure was apparent on "Shitfun", otherwise known as the first unofficial ABSCESS album to some. We all should know what AUTOPSY’s primary formula was. Unbelievably deranged vocals, […]
Unnecessary to tell you something about mighty AUTOPSY. This band is a legend and one of the most unique and influential bands of the whole Death Metal universe. No doubt about it. If you don’t agree with me you better stop reading. All the others have to fall down on their knees and thank Necroharmonic […]
Be warned… under-estimate AUTOPSY’s vile majesty and there are people in this world who would have you hung form the highest branch. And I indeed am one such sicko. AUTOPSY were the pustulent gaping wound, the thorn in the side of the early 90s Yank Death Metal scene, giving two fingers at the entire Morrisound […]
