Hmm, it seems that none of our contributors is really into DRILLER KILLER’s stuff as the possibility of reviewing the band’s sixth full-length wasn’t necessarily crowned with enthusiastic responses… I am not a big fan of this Swedish bunch either, but at least do have a lot of respect for what they’ve been consequently doing […]
THE DAMNATION (not the most original of the monikers) are a German duet, in a sporadic activity since 1996 (in the meantime between then and now, the two band members played also in ACT OF FATE and POINT ZERO). “Into The Underworld” is their second demo which offers us five tracks of rough Death Metal […]
How many years before I had a split CD in my hands…wow, long time ago. Split CDs were back in the day a useful and cheap way to be known in a worldwide basis in a digital format…good splits are quite rare anyway, as more than once there is a band that is better than […]
These young Thrashers from Berlin sound pretty technical but come up with some pretty good hooklines. This one’s somewhere right in between old school German Thrash and modern stuff like DEW-SCENTED. Some Power Metal influences every now and then as well. I like the melodic solos a lot and the singer delivers strong, aggressive vocals. […]
Dutch DESENSITISED have been a part of the Metal community for quite a while already. The band has been active since 2001 and has evolved from CATAFALQUE. For those of you guys who are not familiar with the latter – CATAFALQUE were hailing from the Netherlands too and played an old school combination of Death […]
I am sorry, but I think this will not be a positive review of Dutch Death / Grinders DESENSITISED’s debut MCD "Thriving On Carnage". Although they were able to surprise me when listening to it for the first time, because Steve Vaasen’s Hardcore-like vocals differ quite a lot from the common Brutal Death / Grind […]
Catching the air bridge Madrid / Dortmund via airline Cudgel we find two pathologically demented monsters called Depression and Haemorrhage, that invited us on a trip with an old school Death and Grind like final destination. The first part is commanded by the trio Depression, a veteran band from ’89, that already released several EP’s, […]
It’s Heathen Hell Thrash what DENOUNCEMENT PYRE labels their musicstyle on this record. Hm, I’m getting confused, haha. This is an already 2 year old recording but as it is still available I suggest ordering this lovely piece of vinyl immediately. I’m one of these persons who still love this ceremonial to turn the piece […]
This Australian band impressed me with their mighty logo alone from the date I saw it first. What a great and impressive logo, hard to read, though, but who cares. You need to have a look at it if you don’t know it yet. Anyhow, it’s not the logo that counts but the music enclosed […]
In case you have been sleeping the last couple of months, let me tell you that DENIAL FIEND is the new home of former MANTAS / MASSACRE vocalist Kam Lee, NASTY SAVAGE drummer Curtis Beeson, ex-DEATH / MASSACRE, SIX FEET UNDER bass player Terry Butler and DOWN BY LAW guitarist Sam Williams, who joined forces […]
