Even though this is supposed to be the last THRONEAEON release, fans of the Swedish bunch shouldn’t be too much disappointed as the band only decided to change their monicker into the slightly easier to remember / easier to pronounce GODHATE. But I seriously doubt that this business move will affect their musical style in […]
Nero, Ivan the Terrible, Vlad Tepes; all of their reigns are forcibly compressed into this wondrous EP by TYRANTS BLOOD, a young band with very little left to prove if this EP reaches enough ears. There are some noodley SUFFOCATION-esque loops that bespeak a modern-day Death Metal influence, but rather than drag the songs down, […]
This album features a four instrumental rehearsal of songs that were supposed to be on CONTROL DENIED’s second album and DEATH’s "Infernal Death" / "Mutilation" demos. While the first CONTROL DENIED record never really convinced me completely having viewed it more or less as a DEATH album without the same class, the bulk of material […]
Again Napalm Records and again Doom Metal but this time with far stronger roots to BLACK SABBATH and the cradle of Heavy / Doom Metal. The Norwegian SYRACH are releasing their third full release with "A Dark Burial", but the band history is reaching back to 1993 (the band released only a handful of underground […]
This band may already be on some of your radars, for they were on the bill at the last Black Castle show in late 2009, which ORDER FROM CHAOS headlined. The crowd seemed to enjoy them, and I see no reason why that positive experience should not translate to the privacy of one’s home. The […]
Now this brings back memories. It must have been late ’89 or so, and I had been reading all sorts of rave reviews and outlandish interviews with Brazil’s most despicable blasphemers, and I thought I should hear for myself what all the shrieks of derision and terror were about. I have to say not even […]
Even though SADUS’ debut full-length album has been re-released before in various different formats already, this is by far the best version of it all! Not only because it features lots of bonus material (the entire 6 song "D.T.P." demo from 1986, the 2 song "Certain Death" demo from 1987, as well as a very […]
Japan’s traditional Heavy / Black / Thrash Metal maniacs are around for 20 years now and are still true and untrendy to the core! On their eighth(!!!) studio album they again celebrate their interpretation of furious old school Metal involving NWOBHM-styled melodies and demonic atmosphere. All ten tracks are full of ravaging riffs and pure […]
Having formed in 2003, RUSTED CHAINS is a relatively new band from Germany. A country known for its strong Metal history having produced bands like KREATOR, DESTRUCTION and SODOM with said bands becoming legends / massive influences to countless bands not just within their own homeland but all around the globe. These bands are a […]
From the plains of Western Canada, comes one hell of a new band! REVEREND KILL offers deep, calculated Death and raspy Black Metal vocals mixed with non-stop double bass drums, groovy guitars, and tons of melodic lead lines, some of which continue throughout the entire song. It’s got the melodic brutality of AMON AMARTH combined […]
