Germany’s excellent SAMAEL worshippers ANAEL (watch out for their album on Barbarian Wrath Records) have teamed up with the noisy, often disharmonic Canadian Black Metallers LUST and released a split CD consisting of four ANAEL and six LUST tracks. The latter are definitely not my cup of tea but whoever likes emotional, desperate Black Metal […]
Scheduled to be released in September 2008, Finnish LIE IN RUINS come up with their first regular MCD on Spanish Temple Of Darkness Records, known for unleashing gems from the past like ETERNAL DARKNESS or MOONDARK. "Architecture Of The Dead" basically compiles all tracks from the "… Statues" demo minus the intro and outro plus […]
A pure female Metal band is still something special and if I think about former bands which preferred to convince their audience by playing naked or when the pure fact itself was the most important thing, not every time a proof of quality. But LEVEL-C from Cleveland / Ohio will change this perspective at least […]
Mother Russia has countless daughters and sons and within the last decade a lot of them have realized their Slavic heritage. LESHAK are an extremely young band heading from this area and they are trying to fuse mid tempo Death Metal with their Pagan roots. Unfortunately the most important word within my introduction is the […]
LAST MOONS DAWN’s first breath of life is not really an official Trollzorn release but more or less a supported demo production. The band is mainly consisting of ELIVAGAR members and they are trying to build a bridge between traditional melodic Black Metal and this special melancholy music mainly played by 99.99 % of the […]
Honestly spoken I think I’ve never been happier about the length of a release that’s to be reviewed than I’ve been with this new MCD by Dutch ultra brutal Gore Grind sickheads LAST DAYS OF HUMANITY. Of course the fun-factor of this release is incredible high with this ridiculous toilet gurgles and the hectic, epileptic […]
I gotta confess that I absolutely don’t get this type of "music"… and as nobody else of the Voices staff was interested in taking care of this review either, I suppose we can keep it short (as opposed to completely ignore it). This is not exactly a new LAST DAYS OF HUMANITY album, but a […]
As a great fan of Dark Tranquillity (especially the three first albums) I was eager to check out Laethora’s debut album (Dark Tranquillity guitarist Niklas Sundin and guitarist Joakim Rosen, from The Provenance, comprise the creative core of the band). The music is very different from what one might expect from these guys; "March Of […]
I met singer Erik (formerly of PRE MORTEM) at the Wacken Open Air 2004 and this time he gave me this first demo of his new Death Metal band THE LUCIFER PRINCIPLE. The second one is already scheduled for the end of 2005. What we get on “Burn!” is pretty far from PRE MORTEM: a […]
Just take a look at the name. Then try to decipher the title. Yes, it is all done in old Czech language. Enter KULT OFENZIVY a mysterious band from the Czech Republic, with their second album. Information on the band is rather occult, as the band member does not want to be known. The music […]
