A split LP with side "Death" & side "Trap" offer this deathtrap to us. Side "Death" is obviously DEATH WITH A DAGGER’s turn. ‘Night Of The Dagger’ is the opener and surprises with some kind of "Metalpunk" in the MOTÖRHEAD-vein. Like little brothers (or sons) of Mr. Kilmister and his team. Fast and furious. ‘White […]
Damn, this is an excellent example of what a split CD should be – two bands, two individual styles sworn together by the same attitude – to be evil as hell!!! THE SPAWN OF SATAN fronted by NUNSLAUGHTER member Jim Sadist / Satanic attack with diversified Death / Thrash musically influenced by Thrash legends like old […]
How to spot one of the most influential bands within a specific genre? Well, I guess if more than 15 years after the release of the debut there are still groups taking the music of this band as a blueprint for their own debut. So, leaving any political discussion aside, the early BURZUM releases are […]
The 2006 demo from this one man project from Ireland contains 15 minutes of old school Black Metal in the frozen Norwegian style. The man with the funny name "Gast" clubs through 3 songs, with some rare midtempo parts to loosen the songs and keep the listener interested. Gast made his thing not bad but […]
Hell, this is fucking sick!!! Just imagine 80s Heavy and Thrash Metal mixed with psycho Rock and a massive dose of primitive, controversial and disgusting humour (incl. vomit assaults on stage) and you will get an idea what is essential to those barbarians and their "sick-a-delic" sound. SKITZO have been busy smearing their puke over […]
I’m perhaps not the best person to review this CD as I’m definitely no expert in Crustcore, but I’m a big fan of WOLFPACK / WOLFBRIGADE (R.I.P. – unfortunately!!) and the older releases of SKITSYSTEM, especially their great "Grâ Värld / Svarta Tankar" CD, and this made me really looking forward to put their new […]
Really I am kind of at a loss with this band. After repeated spins of this disc I still don’t know what to think about SILVETH other then they seem to be trying too hard to please everyone in their practice room. Meaning, that whether you like Scandinavian melodic Death Metal, crushing Black Metal, or […]
When I first had read that Prophecy released the album of a Swedish Black Metal-band, I was astonished, as, although the label is known for very great artists and releases, this somehow wouldn’t fit into the concept in my opinion. When I heard what some people told me about this album, I knew I should […]
Although a split in essence, this is actually a compilation showing the transformation and evolution of a band. One thing I must criticize, being myself a follower of the band is that they should have started with the TORMENTOR part. Oh, well. Also the package leaves a lot to be desired, like an easy cash […]
I don’t want to sound disrespectful, because I really appreciate what greek SEPTIC FLESH have achieved with their ’94 debut "Mystic Places Of Dawn" and their MLP in 1991, but this effort is absolutely awful! Samples and electronic effects, classical female vocals, orchestral synths, Death Metal growling mixed with a clean male voice at the […]
