Though this Swedish band plays a style rather seldomly featured on the Voices website – namely heavy Doom / Stoner – HARM’S WAY (formerly known as TERRA FIRMA) are too good to be shunned just because of the typical old school intolerance. From the psychedelic, predominantely red-coloured cover art to the powerful, warm sound the […]
Well, it might sound cruel to the members of HARMONY CELL, but some bands had better never seen the light of day, because they are just too awful. But I’ll try my best to give at least an objective description of their style. Hardcore-inspired emotional vocals throne upon weird Metal / Thrash / Noise riffs, […]
Fucking cool split CD by the CARCASS-worshippers HAEMORRHAGE (Spain) and IMPALED from the US. "Dementia Rex" is some sort of concept story by Ross Sewage of IMPALED about the king of lunatics and both bands orientate lyrically on his twisted tale. Of course musically the two acts do their own thing. IMPALED come up with […]
Listenable comes up with two new releases from their homecountry France. One of them being the 2001 founded Thrash-Hardcore bastards from HACRIDE with their debut CD. Very aggressive and technical Thrash Metal mixed with a modern Hard- / Metalcore touch is what you get here. The vocals sound pretty much like PRO-PAIN or that dude […]
HACAVITZ’s Antimo Buonnano (bass, guitars & vocals) and Oscar Garcia (drums) will always remain heroes in my book, because these gentlemen (among others) were responsible for RAVAGER who released the supreme "Storm Of Sin". An album so twisted, so aggressive and with the impact of an atomic bomb. But how about HACAVITZ? Well, you can […]
Hailing from Buffalo, NY, this 5-piece death squad truly impressed the hell out of me by their 2nd 5-track self-titled demo recording. GRAVE DESCENT, that was formed in February 1999 by vocalist Dennis John Glinski (ex – TIRANT SIN, ex – CARNAL DISSECTION – among others), has gone a relatively long way since then – […]
How often do you stumble upon a German Death Metal band with potential to conquer the world of brutal and smashing ‘bangers? Not that often in my world at least, even though Germany ain’t that far away, and it should be a foreseeable task to keep an ear on what happens down there! Luckily, I […]
This record comes like a brainstorm(ing) out of my speakers: sick, twisted, varied, fast, sometimes groovy, twisted soli, strange, brutal, heavy, technical, deeep vocals. This is my first encounter with this German sickos and not a bad one! But in advance I have to say this is not really my cup of tea, and I […]
From Ecuador we have this 3 song mini CD. It is hard to tell if this is a demo, for it is not a cheap CD-R, but rather a well presented pro CD in a slipcase with a separate lyrics / CD sleeve (a nice touch which reminded me more of how vinyl was used […]
With this album everything kind of seems clear to me. I am not willing to indulge in talking for ages about all this here. It’s not really worth it because this output is brilliant – and this statement says it all! Sometimes I sort of have the feeling that THE GREAT DECEIVER were inspired by […]
