Far up from the north of Finland, crawls out this infamous and malignant beast known as GOREM. The band has been built around Tepa Kareen, former vocalist and bassist of the Finnish ‘Reindeer Metal’ messiahs A.R.G. (which have regrouped just recently for a few shows at least, by the way). GOREM, however, does not play […]
Imagine a fat guy in his underpants lying in a wheelbarrow – frightened, screaming. His arm is missing, he is bleeding. Angry animals surround him, a wild boar, a fox with a chainsaw, a rabbit raising an axe for a deadly stroke, a mole sharpening a knife and a fork, awaiting a nice piece of […]
Unlike many other American cult Death Metal acts back in the 90s, GOREAPHOBIA unfortunately never managed to release a full-length album for one reason or another, so all we got to hear ever since was the classic "Morbidious Pathology" demo (which also ended up on a 7" EP later on) and the "Omen Of Masochism" […]
No, no MORBID ANGEL worship here – people familiar with the German underground will remember GODS OF EMPTINESS as a pretty happening Death / Grind band. Back then the band used to be influenced by the likes of TERRORIZER and NAPALM DEATH, a formula which hasn’t been changed with the release of "Consumption Is Freedom?". […]
Oh my god, what a fucking great CD, the new album of the GODLESS TRUTH freaks!! Personally I didn’t like the band before, but when I listened to this, I thought I’d put it in my stereo every fucking day. We can say that this is a perfect mixture between the old school sound and […]
GODLESS’ first full-length "Ecce Homo Post Lux Tenebras, Pulsio XIII Ultima Ratio" is released through Blood Harvest Records. That got my expectations pretty high, because this label has a fine nose for the music that usually sends blizzards through my veins. After two demos and an EP called "Irreligiosus Nemine Discrepante" on Tyrannus Records in […]
Creepy! After a haunting intro these Australian Black Metal freaks slowly build up some BATHORY feeling until it’s crushed the old Norwegian style. Well, not exactly because there is some thrashy attitude that makes GHASTLY a little different. The demo even rocks – especially the last two tracks – and makes you bang your head […]
Besides the fact that 38 minutes are a bit short for a split CD I was also disappointed by one of the two bands featured on this CD, namely GERBE OF LIFE. Although the French Grinders are around for some time now I don’t get what should make them somehow special or extraordinary except for […]
Well, to keep it short this split album contains two cases of CARCASS-worship, one with a stronger individual note in form of some Swedish Death Metal grooves and the other one being close to a mere copy with some nice songs, but a pretty boring screaming vocalist. GENERAL SURGERY’s comeback material is the sunny side […]
GEIST is a Black Metal band that rose out of Germany’s EISMALSOTT in February 2005 and now, 3 months later, they already surprise with their debut album "Patina". Surprise? Yes, definitely! This is a piece of high quality indeed. After an opening introduction created by accoustics you get nearly an hour of various Black Metal […]
