After the very cool "We’re Not Dead" demo by BETRAYTOR we have another Israelean outfit worshipping the old Metal without swank. Today, a moniker like BESTIAL DEATH will have some trouble being taken serious but to learn these five tracks were recorded almost a quarter of a century explains a lot. Israhellbanger Records will release […]
I am not too familiar (to say the least!) with Hardcore and Grind music, so you can imagine I felt uneasy to review this one as it is a mixture of these two genres. If I tell you that 22 tracks are featured on this release and considering the total running time, I suppose you […]
Beloved Enemy is the new band of ex-Fiddlers Green guitarist Peter "Kafka" with the, from tattoo-conventions well-known, singer Ski King. Here under the funny pseudonym "Dead L-vis". The music isn’t unspectacular Goth-Rock with some electronic baubles. I wouldn’t speak from industrial influences like the promo sheet. The second song ‘Virus Undead’ is also the title […]
Wow, the first thing that strikes me is the name… this "Thrash Metal revival" has become a joke in itself with most bands, and I was afraid that after looking at the cover art, the song titles and the very first riffs, that I was going to face just another copy-cat of the old heroes. […]
Fourth full-length (without counting a lot of EPs and a live album) of this bunch, formed by members of ABIGAIL (Japan). They also had people from so different outfits such as RITUAL CARNAGE, ARES KINGDOM, TOXIC HOLOCAUST on the studio side, or MALICIOUS SECRETS, DEATHSPELL OMEGA or INFERNAL (Columbia) on the live one in their […]
I love this guy, Wrath. Although I know he hates me. He hates everybody, and that’s ok. But with his one-man band, DODSFERD, he sure can bring some joy to his listeners. Strange name for a Greek band, but everything is clear after a short listening. Drawing his inspiration from nordic Black Metal it would […]
Ah… Funeral Doom. I must confess I have already put this genre in dark recesses of my memory. Once my favourite, in a last few years it has, sadly, become stale with not too much going on. Then I got this for review and thought, maybe this record can change a few sceptic minds like […]
Welcome to the new release from one of the most tasteful Black Metal labels existing today – Debemur Morti. Releasing quality offerings almost without a fail, this label one more time treats us with an album of deep dark magic. MYRKR is a horde of two coming from Ireland that will, with their debut “Black […]
This record is almost a year and a half old. In these times I have listened to it many times and now decided to do some justice and write a review. Sweden, a country that is immortalized by bunch of Death Metal masterpieces has, with this album, produced something different although within the same genre. […]
This is melancholy music coming from a dreamers with an edge. SEIDE are a four piece band from France that play, in their own words, Dark/Black Metal. And that would be a perfect short description of their sound – Black Metal aggression tools used with the backup of Dark Metal melancholy note of heartfelt pain […]
