MACBETH is known as the first Metal band of the GDR and was originally founded in 1985. Now, after their self-titled debut in 2006, the new record “Gotteskrieger” was released. The CD version is done by Massacre Records and the record, which we are talking about in this review, comes from High Roller Records. The […]
The Doom community had been a very deserted place over the last couple of years. The revival started with bands like AHAB one or two years ago and the record companies are again quite interested to release this kind of music. KYPCK, the Russian word for KURSK is a more than suitable name for a […]
Ugh! This singer (Ashram) sounds a bit like Leif from DEW-SCENTED having severe problems on the toilet. Maybe it’s the clear but powerless production that supports my impression. Secondly, Ashram uses countless “shits” and “fucks” on the first track leaving a scent of trying to sound bad or angry without too much success, if you […]
I was quite impressed by the show these guys put on stage some time ago (I think it was a tour with INCANTATION, FUNERUS and CATASTROPHIC – multiple orgasms, I’m tellin’ ya!). As I was pretty broke that time I didn’t buy any of their merch (after plundering the FUNERUS booth, that is). For some […]
Insanity reigns on JACK SLATER’s second album! Stark raving, hypertechnical but brutal Death Metal with maniacal vocals reciting totally lunatic German lyrics. All 9 songs combine blastbeats and groove parts with absolutely top-notch guitar work and should please every Death Metal fan. Even if you don’t understand German (which is a pity in this case […]
Over the last couple of months only a few Pagan Metal releases could camouflage the fact that the next commercial burn out has been nearly achieved. As usual all labels are talking the same language and the Pagan & Heiden-Festivals are penetrating Europe on a quarterly basis to earn (with nearly the same line-up) as […]
Everytime GORGOROTH releases anything they take the world by storm, isn’t it? It is futile to deny their overall impact during the last decade in the Black Metal genre which refuses to go away as fast as the Death Metal explosion around ’90-’91. I’ve never ever been a huge fan of GORGOROTH and in fact […]
After the untimely departure of NASUM due to the tragic circumstances we all know GADGET became sort of standard-bearers for the Swedish Grind-scene, at least in my book. And with this their second effort they rise up to the task in an absolutely stunning manner. Their first full-length – in Grindcore terms that is – […]
The second wave of American Thrash Metal. Back in 1988, some of the milestones of this music style have been released a couple of years ago…and although there were more Thrash Metal bands than the “big four”, many newcomers were pressing really hard. Among those was the young band from San Francisco FORBIDDEN EVIL. With […]
Instead of the sad attempt at Metal that MEGADETH is trying to fool us with these days, or outright shit acts like TRIVIUM, or SHADOWSFALL that Roadrunner Records is trying relentlessly to funnel down our throats here in the States (and around the Earth!) as the next Thrash Metal wave. How about instead giving this […]
