It seems to me that Peaceville Records is spending a lot more time and money on the packaging of their releases lately… After the extremely cool "The Frostland Tapes" 3-CD set by DARKTHRONE and BLOODBATH’s "The Wacken Carnage" digibook, this brandnew BLOODBATH EP here is no exception once again. Apart from one of those new […]
I received this demo from Andreas from Putridodistro who is distributing Latino Death and Black Metal in Europe. As I am really interested in Metal from all over the world but especially from Latin America I was really curious about BLOOD RITUALS, which are two guys from Bolivia who are called Possessed Blackheart (guitars, bass, […]
Slovakia’s BLEEDING FIST is one of the newest offensive movements made by the long-running American label known as Moribund Records. They are widely recognized to be the purely underground hunters, always stalking new, savage and unpolished talent from all around the globe. This has definitely worked pretty well throughout the years otherwise they probably wouldn’t […]
The pulse of a heart gradually beating faster introduces us to the world of BLACKLODGE, into their sterile realm of Industrial Black Metal. Luckily BLACKLODGE, cosisting of Saint Vincent (vox + guit + beats), Silence (guit), Diam’s (bass) and the ominous Aluminium Reflektor (Satanic Pulse Cyberdrums + Hell Catalyst) avoid the mistake of many drum […]
Recently I discovered (thanks to Angi!) this band from Germany. "Eccentric Wrath" is their third demo, released in 2005. Honestly I was quite amazed to see them labelling their style as "Eccentric Black Metal". For me it sounds more Death Metal, but since I am not a friend of categorizing styles, it does not matter […]
They’re back! The masters of filthy, fucked up, deranged and demented doomy Death Metal, Californian legends AUTOPSY, did not only go for the all too typical modus operandi – cash grab via reunion shows – but decided to walk the left hand path until its end by delivering not only the highly entertaining “The Tomb […]
Holy crap!! That’s all I can say about this Finnish Black Metal band that has members of ENOCHIAN CRESCENT. I mean MARDUK, IMPALED NAZARENE are fast but these guys are just psychopaths. An amazing Finnvox production makes this one of the best produced Black Metal discs in recent memory. Wrath (vocals) actually sounds like he […]
BIRCH MOUNTAIN is a re-awakened Swedish Death Metal project featuring ex-members of such names as EXCRETION, STIGMATA, MALFEITOR, EXHUMED, MORPHEUS, MASTICATION, EXCRUCIATE, BLOOD MORTIZED and EGYPT. Basically we are talking about two members here: Janne Rudberg Björkenfjäll and Mattias Parkkila who are BIRCH MOUNTAIN. I’m not really sure how the 2 handle the whole stuff, […]
I was highly surprised to find out about the comeback of this band from Tarragona, after their absence on the Spanish scene for nine years after the release of their first album, "Instinct Of Surliness", even if they released a demo in 2003 and a promo in 2005, and I had been hearing some news […]
Israel on the loose! BETRAYTOR just warped me back in time (before I discovered Metal) and even before the first wave of Death Metal was spotted somewhere at the horizon. A time where Thrash Metal reigned supreme with KREATOR, SODOM, DESTRUCTION, TANKARD, SLAYER, EXODUS and all well known gods from the past in their glory […]
