Formed back in 1992, with only one demo released 3 years later; before they came up with this full-length debut album in 2007, here’s Chilean Black / Death / War Metal. Occidens deliver elements of speed, brutality, blasphemous and crushing kind of Black / Death Metal. While you listen to this album, don’t ever hope […]
This new OBTEST effort is a big step from their Black or Pagan approach on their previous albums. Okay, there are still blastbeats or rather: fast thrashing parts and the vocals didn’t change very much. To my ears “ Iš Kartos Į Kartą” is simply a (good) Metal record sung in an “exotic” (sorry) language. […]
I was kinda worried already that this album would probably never ever see the light of day. You need know, that NUNSLAUGHTER have been working in the underground Death Metal scene for thirteen years by now, released a whole bunch of demos and (split-) 7"es, but – believe it or not – "Hells Unholy Fire" […]
Some of you might already know German VARGSANG or its predecessor GRAVEN, both excellent bands delivering hateful, cold and raw Black Metal the way it is meant to be. Now the new side project NORDISCHES BLUT unleashes its debut album and while retaining the unique grim vocals one knows of GRAVEN / VARGSANG there are […]
What we have here is an absolutely killer little split 7inch EP for the vinyl freaks out there. If you worship the old school sound then chances are you have heard of these bands. NIFELHEIM hails from Sweden and play Black Metal, but they sure as hell have nothing in common with their country mates […]
I really don’t know what took so long to do this review since this 7inch has been released for some time now and I have the suspicion that it’s already sold out. Bad timing I guess, but for the sake of this cult release let’s go to the juicy part: this split 7inch is supposed […]
NEGURA BUNGET’s most important aim has never changed over the years – the transfer of the majestic and dark side of mother nature into music. Several years have passed since the release of their fabulous "Om" record, the band toured intensively throughout Europe with impressed audiences everywhere but with "Maiestrit" the story ends. The band […]
What can you expect from a band who’s members are calling themselves "Black Angel Of Doom", "Necromolestor", "Stabwounds Slaughter", "NecroLouder" and "Bestial Torment Of Evil"? Yezz, it’s time for chaotic Black Death Metal taking influences from BLASPHEMY, SARCOFAGO, BEHERIT, IMPALED NAZARENE or PROFANATICA to name just a few. Actually this review could stop already here […]
A rather unimpressive looking product on the surface, but rest assured that this split will grab you by the throat and drag you to the underworld. The NECROS side of the split is steeped in INCANTATION and DEAD CONGREGATION riffing, and all the hellish acoutrements one might expect of that style. On the B-side is […]
It doesn’t happen so often to hold albums in your hand which come from Bolivia. Especially if you consider how hard it is for the bands there to release stuff on this format (mostly due to lack of money) and there is also almost no distribution for them outside og South America. Most of the […]
