Since their last masterpiece "Fas – Ite, Maledicti, In Ignem Aeternum" really nobody can deny the fact that DEATHSPELL OMEGA must be named if it comes to the discussions of the leading Black Metal bands. The fact that they avoid the medial spotlight is creating a kind of mystery around them and so it’s only […]
Come to think of it, why does neither Finland nor Norway give birth to more Death Metal bands? I mean, we’re so conscious on our Black Metal and Gothic Metal and Heavy Metal ( Finland ) that we should be able to spawn a really good Death Metal band. Yeah, look to Sweden . And […]
I really adore Gustave Dorè and so it is always a pleasure for me to see a Death Metal band using his amazing artwork. DEATHCHAMBER from Sweden is one of those bands which chose his work for the cover / backcover of its debut demo "His Will Be Done". The music on this debut demo […]
Sweden’s old school maniacs DEATH BREATH seem to be pretty fast and highly motivated songwriters at the moment. Shortly after their awesome debut full-length "Stinking Up The Night" (which reared its ugly head by the end of 2006) and the self-titled "Death Breath" 2-track 7" EP (which was set free in early 2007) they are […]
Since their 1999 album, "Kill Division", DEADHEAD released only one album, "Haatland", in 2005. Full lengths are momentous occasions for DEADHEAD, either because they emphasize quality over quantity like MONSTROSITY, or they’re unbearably slow songwriters. My guess is the former. The years have not diminished DEADHEAD’s quirky speed reminiscent of DECEASED, or the intensity of […]
Does anyone of you remember the album "Carpet" from Ceremonial Oath? Well, while listening to this 5 song (+ an acoustic intro) demo CD I immediately had to think on this great CD. Dawn Of Perception play some kind of progressive Heavy Metal with Death Metal grunts, but I’d like to call it Gothenburg Death […]
"Maggots on innards are crawling, through my fingers I hold, perversion and mental disorder, in my game you’re taking your role" – reading this and listening to these lines I had spontaneously ‘But Life Goes On…’ from ENTOMBED in mind ("A rotten stench surrounds another ended life, maggots infesting the rotten flesh, is that the […]
Finally the second album of that killer horde from Germany got unleashed. "In Jeraspunta…" is a great continuation of their first album "Geboren an den Ufern des Wahnsinns". Unfortunately this work doesn’t have the same long playing time like the debut, but Dark Tribe’s second desecration will rape your mind with 9 songs and 46 […]
DARK ORDER is an Australian Thrash Metal band in the Bay Area vein – calling their style Nuclear Thrash Metal. Whatsoever… Unfortunately this is not a new release but a remixed and remastered version of their album "The Violence Continuum" from the year 2002, first time ever released world wide. So we are talking about […]
Consistency in a world gone mad! That’s a term used here in reference to Guiness in believe, but one could also level that same argument at Norway’s DARKTHRONE. A band, who by all means, single handedly redefined what Black Metal was ten years ago. But here we are now, 2001, ten years on from their […]
