This utter piece of violent yet pretty dark Death / Grind from the Chicago-based brutalizers BRODEQUIN is a kind of appetizer for the band’s third effort “Methods Of Execution” coming out sometime this year. The two songs offered here are a huge step ahead after the disappointing “Festival Of Death” album in 2002 whose song […]
BREAKER’s latest offering comes to us comes in a collection called “Peace Love Death”. What we have here is a full-length CD composed of four new studio tracks, cover songs, and live material. This was initially released to coincide with the group’s appearance at the “Bang Your Head!!! Festival” earlier this year. The assault begins […]
Truly bad albums are made either of a number of ways; either they’re made in bad taste, or they’re made with such poor attention to detail that the only thing one can take from the recording is a headache, or better yet: they’re made with all the above. This album by BORNHOLM is all of […]
To make it short: I don’t think this release really fits into the VOICES concept. I never liked the Relapse-line signing retro Stoner Rock bands like ALABAMA THUNDERPUSSY, HIGH ON FIRE and BONGZILLA. This is what you get on "Amerijuanican“: unoriginal, fuzzy, boring and uninspired Stoner Rock with some Sludgecore elements and a wannabe-as evil-as-IMMORTAL’s-Abbath-Doom-Osomething […]
After releasing a couple of demotapes, 2 full-length recordings and some split-releases it was time for another recording from French masters of fast and blasting, yet obscure and morbid Death Metal – BLOODY SIGN. I can remember that I saw them live about almost 2 years ago and they had a huge impact on me. […]
In times when each month thousands of official CDs get released by the labels all over the world some might ask who needs to order rehearsal demos without a professional recording from the band directly. Honestly spoken, no one needs that, but did someone really need that 15 years ago? So why shouldn’t something what […]
Texas is a place of stark contrasts. On the surface is the oil pumping conservative cowboy veneer the world is used to, but on the flip side lurks a dark, pulsating network of blasphemous veins. The lone star state has given us much over the years, NECROVORE and S.A. SLAYER come to mind. BAHIMIRON are […]
Bullet straight between your eyes… Yes, you – you’re the next one on the list of eliminated people. The beer and bullet belts smelling Finnish Thrash quartet AXEGRESSOR have finally unleashed their long-awaited 2nd armored beast titled aptly "Next", which contains 9 new, viciously executed Thrash cuts – reeking severely of warmongering, violence, justification of […]
Don’t really know what to make out of this one. First and foremost: the cover sucks. I think most Metal fans have a soft spot for swords ‘n sorcery but this kind of third-grade Conan imagery is just ridiculous. To more important things: AZURE play a melodic version of blackened Metal, comparable to OLD MAN’S […]
AUTUMNAL REAPER formed in 1991, and appear to have remained active ever since – but it’s only within the last decade or so that they’ve bared their fangs. Sounding very much like DENIAL OF GOD, the music of AUTUMNAL REAPER is heavy with melody, but not fluffy or tender, exactly like a Black Metal band […]
