Frank was so kind to give me a copy of this CD, asking me to review it (I guess because he knows that I still think that VOIVOD are absolute gods, right Frankie… ? ; -) (how did you find this out so quickly? – Ed.). Anyway, for all those out there where the bandname […]
PROJECT: FAILING FLESH already made pretty much impact on me a couple of years ago with their debut "A Beautiful Sickness". I always had a weak spot for the Canadian band VOIVOD and back then I was very curious how ex-VOIVOD vocalist Eric Forest would sound like in his new band. "The Conjoined" is the […]
After 3 demotapes in 2001, 2002 and 2003, Italian Black Metallers PROFEZIA come up with their first full-length album entitled "Black Misantropic Elite – Moon Anthem". Well, to keep a short story really short. This is Black Metal in the typical raw vein like we heard it a million times before, so do not expect […]
It seems KRISIUN paved the way for a new generation of highly talented Death Metal acts in Brazil, and PREDATOR is surely one of them! I suppose some Brazilian guys (and maybe even the band members themselves) are currently journeying across Europe distributing this professionally packaged CD-R demo, as five copies of this were directly […]
Does anyone remember INSANITY and their classic "Death After Death"? Of course you do and you will be pleased to hear that POVERTY features three former members of INSANITY, namely Bud Mills (drums), Scott Dodge (guitars) and Lou Gilberto (bass / backing vocals). The line-up is completed by Sean Riggen (vocals). And guess what they […]
The Dutch fivepiece PLEURISY constantly used to deliver very high quality releases ever since their demo days and it seems that their hard work finally pays off internationally after all. One obvious proof of that to me is the fact that NECROPHAGIA’s Killjoy is gonna re-release their "Experience The Sacrilege" album on his Baphomet label […]
Being a hybrid of different Death Metal bands from the Boston area, PILLORY proceed to publish their debut full-length via mighty Unique Leader Records. The latter are known for fiendishly intense outcrops of aggression – and this certainly is the case with PILLORY as well. These chaps combine different styles of extreme Metal culture, that […]
If you thought that HORRID was the only cool band from Italy playing the good ol’ Swedish Death Metal, you better think again, cause PHOBIC have delivered a really fine album of similar qualities. "Sick Blemished Uncreation" features ten brutal songs in the classic DISMEMBER / CARNAGE tradition plus a rather superfluous additional tekkno / […]
Great packaging! This rehearsal demo (pretty good sound, though) comes in a DVD box looking good indeed. It’s pretty hard to believe these Germans founded their band only in 2002 – first of all because of the quality of their music and, secondly, because their style sounds more like early or rather mid 90s incantations […]
Well, I have this demo lying on my desk for almost a year now and never reviewed it, but definitely not because it is crap, if there is a least one reason then it might be my laziness, sorry guys! PESTER come from the southern part of Germany and call their music "true Bavarian Death […]
