This young Finnish Metal band named BATTLE BEAST has heavily been hyped up in Finland. Wonder whether there’s something truly special in them after all? Well, to start with, the band won the W.O.A. Metal Battle in 2010, got a slot to play at the Finnish Metal Expo in 2011 – and their debut single […]
A couple of years ago a good friend of mine described this act as the German BURZUM. If it comes to “Hoffnungslos” this description isn’t totally suitable even if the basic elements of the Count’s heritage could still be found. BROCKEN MOON has been founded in 1999 and their back catalogue is showing several demos […]
Finnish (old school) Death Metal has truly been making its new coming for the last 2-3 years or so. KRYPTS, ASCENDED, STENCH OF DECAY, LIE IN RUINS, SWALLOWED and a bunch of others, have been following the same death-reeking path that bands like ABHORRENCE, FUNEBRE, DEMIGOD, CONVULSE and so many other Death Metal forces from […]
A band that includes 3 former members of VICTIMIZER, might as well give an indication of the style of this Danish band. And I was expecting another old school Deathrash band, but instead we are faced with an old school Death Metal band which recalls in spirit and essence the sound of the old Dutch […]
FILE OF GHOSTS is a one-man army from Finland – and an ambitious fellow named Sami who’s responsible for all the musical perversions behind his extreme Metal band or project, has now recorded his debut full-length album, titled “Grey Metal” – including 7 tracks. This is a low budget release, in which Sami has produced […]
Thraaaassshh!!! Aaaaarrrghh!!! Two words that perfectly describe HELLBRINGER’s killer debut which I really think is a hope for raw ‘80s-style Thrash Metal with skill, real guts and traditional spirit! I think that Thrash Metal is by far the most difficult style of Metal to deliver in the sense that if the band does not have […]
With the release of the HERETOIR debut our dear friends of Northern Silence conquer a complete new territory for their underground label. Maybe the Voices readers are not the biggest supporters of the terminus Post Black Metal – yes we are proud to be called traditionalists – but the amount of bands that are challenging […]
This is the second album from this Death Metal and Grindcore infected band from Germany. For a change there is no intro and the music kicks in with the intention of gripping the listener from the throat until it cannot breathe. Yet, it seems that for me the first four songs were like the very […]
PRIMORDIAL is one of the few great ‘90s bands that managed to escape from all trends of their time and luckily still continue their own, unique path, crafting an absolutely personal sound that always remained faithful to their roots. Every serious follower of the band will already know that this is one of the most […]
If you are not to the biggest fan of old US Heavy / Thrash Metal the band name HADES should from now on automatically be connected to this wild horde from Bergen / Norway. Their first releases including their cult demo “Alone Walkyng” – officially released in 1993 with a lot of re-releases in various forms […]
