I still remember… remember those days whereas bands where not trying to make music in any certain style… style that was only enlightened by evil ways and pure hate… hate that was dominating the souls of those to be possessed… possessed by death, horror, blasphemy and destruction…destruction of all that is holy sacred and human… […]
Kam ‘The Tyrant’ Lee does not need much introduction, does he? The man became most known for his band MASSACRE; now a defunct US Death Metal act that has an important role in the Death Metal scene in general. Kam’s latest incarnation of all heaviness and brutality goes under the THE SKELETAL moniker – and […]
There are dozens of underground labels which never reach their 100th release… therefore – before we fully focus on the WOODS OF DESOLATION release – congratulation to the Northern Silence team for keeping the international underground alive. The second full release from this act from Down Under is luckily supporting this event with a more […]
Describing the sound of this quartet from Russia is pretty simple when you take a look at the band shirts ABORTED FETUS’ members are proudly sporting inside their second album’s booklet. DISGORGE and DISAVOWED are the names that immediately caught my eye and especially the Californian cult brutal Death outfit obviously had a strong impact […]
In this day and age with easily up to 100-200 or even more releases out every month you can be thankful for every band that makes it easy for you to decide against purchasing its offerings. SIKFUK perform funny, obscene and yes, pretty disgusting Death / Grind with some solid riffing, solid burps and gurgles […]
First of all – don’t be to afraid of this release because of the band name, I thought this would be something utterly crappy like SIKFUK (see my review on this webpage) when I read the name, but it ain’t. COATHANGER ABORTION is a five-piece from Chattanooga, TN that performs straight-to-the-face Death / Grind that […]
The 2006 demo "A Soil Forsaken" was already a promising first sign of life by these Bavarian Death heads. Sure, the demo was nothing too exciting but it was a solid piece of raw old school Death Metal. The debut album "Exorchrism" is a huge step forward and presents a grown band. The music is […]
Damn fine, refreshingly uncomplicated Death Metal DISFIGURED from Texas delivers on its second effort “Amputated Gorewhore” after releasing one album back in ’08 already. Musically, I’d say fellow Tex-Deathers PUTRILAGE or IMAGES OF VIOLENCE can be named as comparable acts since the compositional formula is pretty much the same: traditional, highly effective riffing, low and […]
"TRUPPENSTURM, STRUPPENTURM – livin’ on the road…" And goddamn do these speakers explode when Panzer Division Suppenhuhn rocks the floor. Seriously, I’ve always had a soft spot for all this ‘War Metal’ stuff and this is definitely up there with the likes of REVENGE, VON and what-have-you. It simply doesn’t get any rawer or more […]
Once infected you won’t get rid of the plague. It’s a statement quite true for the Death Metal scene. In the case of TROOPS OF TERROR it’s the situation as some of the members of this quite new outfit were active in other Peruvian bands as KRANIUM, ILLAPA, SARAM, BELZEC, REPUGNANCIA or the old Peruvian […]
