I used love getting 7" EPs for being a quick and cheap way for discovering new and exciting acts that may potentially became my new record hunting target. Nowadays, it turned into a hit or miss affair given the considerable amount of crap given the vinyl treatment without actually being worth enough of it. On […]
Hell yes, NECRODEATH will probably remain my favorite underground act from Italy forever, that’s for sure! In the late 80s, early 90s they gained themselves the same kind of respect and underground credibility as MERCILESS did in Sweden and (the original) MAYHEM in Norway (all three bands were very like-minded anyway)… Throughout their career they […]
Bonjour mon Metal amis – welcome on board the high speed Death Metal train NECROBLASPHEME departing regularly from the French capital at 6:06 o’clock. The first destination is for sure a railway station somewhere in the neighborhood of the former highspeed Metal kings VADER. The French band is a wild collection of musicians which had […]
This is something else!! And after hearing one song on Myspace I was eager to take this challenge. Well, it turned out a bit different than expected after the first session, but nonetheless very interesting. NECHOCHWEN is a soloproject and brainchild of Aaron Carey. A man, partly of Indian descent and inspired by the culture […]
When I first listened to NAUSENAT’s debut demo entitled "Abysmaltician" I was really surprised because I thought I would listen to some new DEMILICH (which is one of my all time favorite Death Metal bands) stuff or to some forgotten demo tracks of these Finnish gods. But no, this Swedish band just sounds very similar […]
By all means, it’s always nice with bands that pay tribute to their heroes, or to bands that have meant something to their own development. But hey, 19 tracks? Personally I don’t see the point with such a release. I don’t see why such an otherwise great band such as Napalm Death chooses to play […]
Being literally mad at myself for my inability to come up with anything reasonable to say about this mini-CD for quite a long time, I decided to make myself listen to it over and over again until some lines of wisdom are so kind to come and rescue me. And you know what? This experiment […]
This record was giving me a hard time… Not because it is bad or anything, but simply because of the fact that MUSEUM OF FEAR created such a unique brand of music, that it’s extremely difficult to find comparisons to their sound and style. Their own slogan "Heavy but not Death Metal, emotional but not […]
Don’t they say that the first impression is important? Well, those electronic drum sounds on the opener ‘Again’ definitely can’t impress me. Grind’n’Roll from Germany. At least it makes my foot move when sitting in my armchair and I can imagine this being fun in a live situation, so check out the band’s homepage for […]
According to MORTUARY TEMPLE’s brainchild (and one and only member) Profanatitas "Demo II" is not actually meant to be a real second demotape, but should just be seen as a sign of life… Well, no matter how you’re gonna call it, musically it definitely is a big step forward (at least based on my personal […]
