Bone Awl, the first assault from Klaxon Productions of California, is harsh, raw, and almost unlistenable Black fuckin’ Metal. The best way to describe these five tracks of seething hatred is to take two parts Carpathian Forest, one part Burzum, add some lyrics that (for once) don’t break every rule of English grammar, crank the […]
Unbelievably, nearly a year’s time has elapsed since the release of "In Death", GOREPHILIA’s second demo, and the one which I think it’s safe to say solidified them as a talented addition to Finland’s growing roster of young, and good, Death Metal bands. Taking their cues from such bands as INCANTATION, and the many Finns […]
Raw and furious Black Metal from Perth, Australia. That’s what this fivesome called WARDAEMONIC offers us on their pitch-black plate, titled "Through The Dank Pale Gravelands". It always feels good when you come across with a new Black Metal band that has something in their sound that catches your interest from the very first steps […]
Weren’t it for NUNSLAUGHTER’s Jim Sadist I wouldn’t know about this band, I guess. Why? Well, he was wearing a SOULLESS shirt on the picture on one of their numerous split EP’s. So I ordered "Agony’s Lament" which is already the second album by these Thrashheads. The line-up consists of members from ALL THAT IS […]
I gotta believe that REVENANT from New Jersey should undoubtedly be a relatively familiar name to the most of the Thrash / Death Metal fans around the globe. In the late 80s this foursome become known amongst of the fans of a more extreme side of Thrash Metal by releasing their 1st demo "Beyond The […]
US True/Heavy Metal band Power Theory was formed in 2007 by Bob ‘BB’ Ballinger, and his primary idea was to blend quite a few different Metal styles together in order to make POWER THEORY to sound the kind of band that would pretty much get that ‘classic Heavy Metal’ label tagged all over it. With […]
This may be something for people who can’t get enough of lets say older SUMMONING minus the Metal parts. Rather ear-friendly and naïve "martial" keyboard/synth music which would also be suitable to accompany a game of D&D or as a cheap movie soundtrack. I know it is meant to sound majestic and heroic but due […]
With this vinyl release Blood Harvest Records presents another act’s first time ever appearance on vinyl. Recorded and mixed in Studio Sunlight with the help of Tomas Skogsberg, Fred Estby and Anders Lindström you can be sure to get a pretty good sound, though I have to admit the sound of side 1995 sounds a […]
When was the last time you heard any Danish Death Metal? Out of Elsinore, Denmark hail this mighty quartet of Death Metallers, and not since the days when the guys of INVOCATOR were toying with MACERATION or their fellow countrymen broke out with bands like DEFAMATORY, MORDOR / EXMORTEM or INIQUITY, and were out kicking […]
Black Metal hordes emerging from South Africa are quite rare. Due to the lack of supporters down there the scene can be considered as clean and trendfree. BLACKCROWNED are the second serious hellish outfit (next to the brillant squad NICATAS DRUMER) which presents us here their debut demo entitled “With Wolvish Lust”. Wurdalak and his […]
