In the dark times a small bunch of the well known FINTROLL got lost in a enormous Blizzard and disappeared for several years. In 2008 they luckily returned to the surface not far away from their homecountry because they are lazy beasts. The new tribe is called SVARTBY and they heading from St.Petersburg to conquer […]
Black Metal – a word unfortunately linked in all kinds of media strictly to the one and only band DIMMU BORGIR. But there had been so many other bands which released fantastic albums during the birth of this style. I think about bands like HADES, OBTAINED ENSLAVEMENT or BEWITCHED. Some of these bands had been […]
SUSPERIA is a new Norwegian band formed by Tjodalv (ex-DIMMU BORGIR, OLD MAN’S CHILD) and Cyrus (SATYRICON, OLD MAN’S CHILD) at the end of 1998. After the release of the demo “Illusions Of Evil”, they received proposals from several record-companies, a contract got signed with Nuclear Blast for 4 albums, with the debut “Predominance” as […]
The blasphemous hordes from Thailand are back and torturing Christianity again. Well, if you like raw Black Metal, you definitely feel not tortured, quite the contrary! SURRENDER OF DIVINITY are crawling the underground for several years by now and released one full-length, two 7″es and two split-CDs. “Manifest Blasphemy” is their first release on From […]
SUPPOSITORY from the Netherlands play brutal and straight Grindcore which is totally uninventive, but very entertaining due to its raw and spontaneous appeal. People who think good music needs to invent itself over and over again, can avoid SUPPOSITORY in the first place, people who love simple but driving Grindcore will enjoy this piece of […]
Avantgarde Music is without a doubt one of the most influential underground labels of the last 15 years and only a short look into their back catalogue – with cult releases of bands like BEHEMOTH and MAYHEM – is proving this fact. During the last couple of years the Italian label released only a handful […]
Mem von Stein (that EXUMER – fame) and his loyally thrashing troops have reached that one remarkable point on these New York – based thrashers SUN DESCENDS’ career in which a full-length debut album was just a matter of time from them, just waiting to be unleashed. Now that particular time is here, in our […]
New release on this ever growing Brazilian label but unfortunately this 17 song affair doesn’t live up to the level of quality associated with Marquee until now. SUN DESCENDS was formed by ex – EXUMER bassist / vocalist Mem von Stein five years ago in the States where he resides now. The first three songs […]
Having read Tartarean Desire webzine’s review on this effort, I once and for all got disappointed in reviews and lost belief in their being of any use at all. You see, what I was going to proclaim the best thing about “Kanun-Law”, colleague Cseke R?bert had found to be it’s weakest point. Well, perhaps the […]
When I think of how overfilled with cliches this review is going to turn out, my hands spontaneously drop the pen and slip off the keyboard. It’s the curse the Metal scribblers have to face these days, though the problem’s roots hide much deeper, in music which is served for Metal today. In The scene. […]
