After a self titled demo in 2003, followed up by an EP called "Tools Of Termination " in 2004, Uppsalla’s DEVIANT sign to little known The Spew Records out of Brescia, Italy. A debut album is thus recorded and released in 2005 entitled "Larvaeon ", all of these I have never heard. Two years after […]
Besides working under the monikers AUTOPSY TORMENT and PAGAN RITES one of Sweden’s most active underground Metalheads creates vicious sounds under the name DEVIL LEE ROT, where he does not go for the deadly thrashing direction of AUTOPSY TORMENT nor the blackish, old MAYHEM – inspired sound of PAGAN RITES, but destroys posers worldwide with […]
I’m heavily lacking in information about these Portuguese Death / Thrashers… All I know is that they are around since 1994 and that they have recorded this promo CD which features five songs of rather boring and uninspired music. All of them are played rather speedy, but do heavily sound alike and are neither really […]
Where this Polish outfit called themselves Avantgarde Black Metal on their debut album they are talking about playing extreme modern Black / Death Metal now on this 2nd one. It’s not me who is labelling anything like this at all; it’s just copied from the release information which I got together with the promo. Labels […]
You know, when a band has released such an important release as we retrospectively regard "666 International" to be, the successor cannot fulfil the expectations. They can’t repeat themselves, and they can’t experiment too much without loosing their identity. Dødheimsgard choose a simpler way. However, that’s only if you compare it to the mentioned former […]
DIES IRAE previous and first effort ("Immolated", also issued on Metal Blade in 2000) was a rather pleasant surprise, because this band featuring Mauser and Doc from the Polish gods VADER offered a nice alternative to the somewhat disappointing and rushed "Litany" album. "The Sin War" confirms two years later that DIES IRAES has not […]
After the excellent and brave debut "Reaping The World Winds" in 2003 Morfeus from LIMBONIC ART returns with the second album "Does The Pain Excite You?" of his project DIMENSION F3H. With new record label and line-up by his side, Morfeus presents us a much heavier and darker record than the first one. Because of […]
No matter if you like Ronnie James Dio or not – someone that has been around for so long and never betrayed his roots definitely deserves a lot of respect! To me it’s furthermore really amazing that a man of his age can still pull it off vocally so well. A good proof of his […]
And here they are, after a break of some years they are back again. Disastrous Murmur have been one of the first bands from Austria playing Death Metal together with Disharmonic Orchestra and Pungent Stench. After a real milestone and classic called "Rhapsodies In Red" Disastrous Murmur released their second album "Folter" containing a dose […]
Already announced some time ago the second best known Austrian Death Metal band (after PUNGENT STENCH) DISASTROUS MURMUR now finally strikes back with an EP containing three new songs plus an excellent cover version of REPULSION’s demo song ‘Black Nightmare’. It’s been four years since the last release "And Hungry Are The Lost" (Perverted Taste, […]
