I have a CD by the Norwegian band ULCUS somewhere around. This one reminded me a lot to them. Later I found out that some former members are here. I would say in fact, that COR SCORPII is like the spiritual continuation of that band. Yes, most of the members of ULCUS went to WINDIR […]
The slogan that has been written on the sleeve of industrial Deathers COUNT NOSFERATU KOMMANDO’s debut CD "No Mercy No Fascism No Respect No Law No Peace No Future" should be completed with the addition "No Talent No Music No Humor". What French Kodiak Records try to promote / sell as the "new extreme sensation" […]
For once it is a bit confusing knowing that maybe there are two CRIMSON MOON bands, so who the hell knows who is who, and what is going to happen, as both sides have been stating that a new album will come out. Oh well… This release we are talking about here is a re-issue […]
I have to admit that I am not familiar with CRIMSON MOONLIGHT’s previous work. If I refer to their info sheet these Swedish based band played a kind of symphonic Black Metal before. As far as I know the band released two demos ("Glorification Of The Master Of The Light" in 1997 and "Heralding The […]
Finnish blackened Thrash Metal, with a great name and attitude. Yet, I must say that the style is growing to be the same ol’ recipe forged in time many years ago. Fast, beer influenced Thrash Metal with early Black Metal touches. Got it? Yeah, VENOM and early SLAYER takes a lot of the potion’s recipe, […]
This is my first encounter with the Swedes from CROWPATH who already relesed the album "Red On Chrome" on Willowtip Records some time ago (re-released via Earache later on – Frank) and what one can hear on "Son Of Sulphur" makes me curious about their debut as well. When I asked some friends about this […]
Finally… finally it is there, the debut album of a vicious Death / Black band from the US, which is known for more than a decade within the underground scene and released promising demos, EPs and only recently put out "The Ninth Year" a collection of their previous material on Elegy Records, which made a […]
What a cool album! I liked this one right from the start and it’s growing! CSSO (Clotted Symmetrical Sexual Organ) are from Japan and their sound is called Grind Rock. "Are You Excrements?" is their second full-length album and they’re focussing on a sort of 70’s Rock with extreme vocals and spacy keyboards. But when […]
The art of the split 7" has largely been lost in these dark ages of Metal. There was a time when bands would produce their best work for inclusion on a compilation or split release in order to demonstrate their full potential to listeners that may not be familiar with their work, but now most […]
Death Metal for the true underground champions! What we have here is a lost Brazilian classic from 1993 finally re-released by Cogumelo. It’s a hard-as-nails slab of disciplined metallic violence shrouded in strange visions of the occult, mental illness, and violent death. Vintage morbid riffs abound, snug with tight electric bass, all strung over a […]
