When Peaceville announced that DARKTHRONE had returned home, there were discussions. When it was announced that DARKTHRONE would record their first single, ever, the discussions even grew. Of course, DARKTHRONE have not always delivered strong releases, in my opinion at least the quality of "Plaguewielder" and "Goatlord" is certainly debatable. But the duo probably could […]
Since the new album will be around shortly, I think the review for this EP can be cut short, especially since – for the first time since the "Plaguewielder"-release – I wouldn’t necessarily call this a must-have. This judgement however is not based upon the musical quality (especially for track two and three) but rather […]
Second release for this French label, which is oriented between Black Metal and the most dark, monotonous and drone-like Industrial. Dapnom is a french band which describes itself as Black Satanic Ritual Ambient, formed by only one member and which releases his first album in 2007 (after releasing some tapes, one on this same label, […]
What have I done to be punished like this? This has to be the 10000000000 Gothenboring styled melodic Death Metal outfit I’ve been asked to listen to against my wishes and it is not that I feverly hate the style but after listening the same IN FLAMES / CHILDREN OF BODOM recycled riffs over and […]
Since their origin in 1988 Chicago’s CIANIDE has been working with no less than 10 different companies (so far) and released five full-length albums ("The Dying Truth", "A Descent Into Hell", "Death, Doom And Destruction", "Divide And Conquer" and "Hell’s Rebirth"), five splits (with NUNSLAUGHTER, MACHETAZO and COFFINS as well as being part of "Chicago […]
Even though this German act has been around since 1997 already, I never really heard of them until I received this three track 7" EP on the newly founded Sepulchral Voice label… According to their info sheet they only released two demos prior to this but obviously gained a lot of experiences through playing out […]
I can remember times when each 2nd band, especially from Poland, was sounding like a MORBID ANGEL double and still was afraid to confess that. Time’s changing, and so we have CHAOTIC AEON from China (believe it or not, my first Death Metal experience with a Chinese band. Actually it is my first Metal experience […]
Even though I very much support the idea of letting fans of Steve Tucker (now fronting MORBID ANGEL) and Pat O’Brian (who replaced Rob Barrett on six strings in CANNIBAL CORPSE) hear the material that both of them recorded way back in 1992 (while they were still in CEREMONY), one problem unfortunately remains: the price […]
Brutal Swedish Death Metal that’s what this fuckin’ 7" EP is all about. I have no clue about the history of CEREKLOTH and I’m too lazy to search the internet for information. Everything I do is "let the music do the talking", and the music is impressive (once again on a Blood Harvest release, haha). […]
Formed back in 1989 and with just one release, their 1990 rehearsal demo "Fall Of The Structure", Peruvian Death Metal band CONTUMACY remains as another band rather unknown to the majority of the Death Metal fans even during this time. Talking about me, I haven’t heard anything from them before listening to those tracks on […]
