Wow, what a big improvement! VISCERAL BLEEDING from Sweden already used to sent us their demo CD-R “Internal Decomposition” a while back, which featured four tracks of brutal US-styled Death Metal in the well known SUFFOCATION / CANNIBAL CORPSE vein – but not necessarily knew to convince me completely yet at the time. Luckily things […]
I didn’t expect much when I received this CD, but damn how I was surprised when I listened to it for the first time. It starts quite strange with the 2 minute long starter ‘Focus: The First Eye’. Short introducing sounds and a few Italian words and then the Grindcore-massacre starts. Great vocal-lines, I have […]
VIRULENCE from Boston are nuts! Sometimes they remind me of CSSO or the last PESTILENCE album: jazz, grindcore and sickness are on here and the jazz parts give a hint that this wall of sound is more than just a couple of guys playing against each other. Crazy singer as well, a bit hardcore-like going […]
Epic Metal from the US usually isn’t as sweet as European stuff so probably that’s one of the reasons why I became a VIRGIN STEELE fanatic. As always I’m highly satisfied with the new record’s songwriting as it takes you on a journey of emotions. For my taste, David DeFeis is Metal’s Paul McCartney when […]
A name like VIRGIN SNATCH is perfect to make jokes about. I seriously have no clue why this Polish Thrash Metal outfit chose a name like this for musically such a serious project. In my humble opinion this could be a huge handicap for them, simply as this is Thrash Metal, not Porn Grind. Let’s […]
After the 10″ record that a good friend of mine from Sweden who owned To The Death Records was kind enough to send over like two years ago. I had heard a lot about this band but never actually “heard” them. I had read somewhere that they were a Heavy Metal / Rock act that […]
“Gebirgshöhenstille” is the latest release from VINTERRIKET, one of the busiest artists in the German Black Metal underground and maybe the first release from this band / project which is available to a wider audience due to the fact that their new business partner Displeased Records can use other ways to make VINTERRIKET’s music available […]
Death / Thrash Metal, a hybrid of two styles that has never been accomplished, save a few exceptions. Usually bands labeled as said sub genre tend to play either one with some minor influences from the other one. But this is not the case with VILEFUCK. Hailing from Sweden, formed in 2004 and with 5 […]
When I listened to VILE’s third full-length album “The New Age Of Chaos” I immediately connected the material on offer this time to what we constantly get served by Unique Leader Records nowadays. Which means, technically very mature and extremely brutal sounding Death Metal, produced and packaged very professionally. Well, the label in question obviously […]
It seems Listenable Records are on the right track again having signed this Californian outfit. One more time we are dealing here with a brutal Death Metal band, but with enough imagination to raise immediate interest (at least in my camp). These four musicians are certainly not beginners since VILE was formed back in 1996, […]
