THANATOS is probably the oldest Death Metal band from Holland. In the early nineties, they released two good Death Metal albums, “Emerging From The Netherworlds” and “Realms Of Ecstasy” until the many problems with their record-company at that time and two cancelled European tours, as well as internal problems made the band collapse. Apparently mastermind […]
The original intention behind this record was to remix the best stuff off the first two TESTAMENT albums “The Legacy” and “The New Order”… Well, luckily this kinda superfluous idea didn’t turn into reality (due to legal problems with their old label, I suppose), that’s why TESTAMENT quickly changed their minds and came up with […]
Thrashers TERROR 2000 from Sweden feature SOILWORK’s vocalist and a guitar player from DARKANE. They have recorded two studio albums so far and during their Japan tour with DESTRUCTION they have taken the chance to record this live album in Tokyo in May 2003. TERROR 2000 performed eight own songs and a very trashy cover […]
What will be the next thing after the Thrash revival? Who knows? Right now, TERROR 2000 add some fresh air to the recent Thrash wave. The first track ‘Back With Attack’ reminds me quite a bit of good old KREATOR. Speed is the first commandment for TERROR 2000 and their roots are far away from […]
Blistering blackened Death Metal similar to NEPENTHE from Kansas City, Missouri and crossbred with Michigan’s devil dogs MASOCHIST. Lyrical content is heavy, personalized, doom laden, and written with ink made from the blood of several lost souls. Six songs of torment. Six songs of dark desire. Six songs of cold blasphemy! All yours for $12.00 […]
I have no idea whether this one man project is supposed to be taken serious or not, but honestly spoken – I don’t really care as long as I can enjoy the music delivered… and I certainly do, in this case! TERROR OF THE TREES, the brainchild of SUN DESCENDS producer “His Eminence The Wicked”, […]
When it comes to the extreme Metal scene I don’t think there’s many other albums that have marked people’s minds more than TERRORIZER’s debut, “World Downfall”. So, naturally TERRORIZER’s second effort has been awaited for a long long while now and finally here it is. Unfortunately the fear of being hugely disappointed by it started […]
Anyone else out there disappointed with the last Nifelheim CD? I was. Seems their Iron Maiden influences got the best of ’em and the melodies came out too nice and jolly and pretty… that is NOT the case with fucking Terrorama! We start off with a good intro (though I am definitely not a fan […]
The overall layout of this album could lead you to believe that TENEBRUM INFECTUS (a French quartet) is a Grind band stricto sensu. The reality is a little more complex than that. In fact, the band rather plays brutal Death Metal the American way, with only the song format (very short, you got 16 tracks […]
Only a few bands within 2009 have used the element of surprise for their advantage but this Italian act has definitely hit the bull’s eye. The band was completely unknown to me and the world wide web can only assist to a certain degree but the presented nearly 40 minutes of pure Black Metal are […]
