This is the new offering from these technical Death Metal veterans from southern Germany, and the second one under the flag of Revenge Productions. Formed in 1994, the four-piece released several demos as well as four albums so far. Their musical pathway has consequently been developed since “Perpetual Pain Procedure”, the second Veneral Disease full-length […]
The Swedish music scene will ever stay a mystery for me. How can such a small country with approx. 9 million inhabitants carry so many great bands? VEMOTH are one of these bands. Well, I have to start with two things which are not great about VEMOTH. First up, the singer didn’t really convince me […]
When I first listened to this album, I couldn’t believe what I was hearing; finally a band who has relieved one of the best bands out of France in the 90s, in my opinion, which is FORBIDDEN SITE. So, for the ones who worship that band just like me, you know what to expect here; […]
(V.E.G.A.) was a project which is already dead now and “Cocaine” is the only official output of this “band”. What we get is mainly fast, northern styled Black Metal such as older DARK FUNERAL, SETHERIAL and the likes. It is quite enjoyable and really well done, especially some guitar-lines spread a cool melancholic atmosphere. Interruptions […]
Bask in the sins of hell, ye disciples of the profane. The last two years bore witness to a surprising upswing in the quality of underground bands. For a time, Sweden lead the charge with INVIDIOUS, DEGIAL and EVISCERATED, but since 2008, bands of equal, or greater, potential have sprung up in Finland, Germany, Spain, […]
In today’s extreme Metal scene, and with countless of releases every month, it becomes quite frustrating to look for a good release that will satisfy your needs for quality in extreme Metal. Quality that decreases slowly in the big pile of mediocrity released nowadays. Sterile productions and computer generated bands are drowning this everywhere. Add […]
This 2002 initiated, self-named one-man project was started by former GRAVEN-member Vargsang (also in the musically fantastic, lyrically dubious NORDISCHES BLUT) and with “Call Of The Nightwolves” already delivered an excellent piece of raw, northern Black Metal in 2003. Their uncompromising, pure and unadulterated approach is perfected on “Throne Of The Forgotten” which tops its […]
The first impression of this underground release is quite irritating because the VARGRIMM debut comes with the full scale of voice over protection. For sure I can understand the ongoing discussions about the new internet music environment but like in the old days you should chose reliable underground partners instead of blaming everybody; but these […]
From the shadows this Finnish Black Metal act emerges, not a single hint on who’s playing in this band can be found in the info sheet and of course that’s done with intent. Fortunately, who dares to check out this mysterious outfit is in for a really pleasant surprise since “Beastificate” is a nicely diverse […]
This review comes a bit late as it was unfortunately buried somewhere on my hard drive but good music is never dated – furthermore, VALBORG have just released their first full-length “Glorification Of Pain” this April so the circle is sealed… here we go: having already reviewed material of the splendid ISLAND ( I suggest […]
