“Armed To Their Grinning Teeth” is the debut album by this young brutal Swedish Death Metal outfit which was formed in early 1999. After having released a 7″EP called “Death” in 2001 and a selftitled CD-R EP in 2002 the masters of Forensick Music took care of these youngsters and offered them a contract to […]
Formed in 2003 after the demise of SEEDS OF DESOLATION this Scottish quintet already released a first demo entitled “Bloodblind” only one year later and now has its first full-length ready to rip via Retribute Records. This slab of conventional brutal, contemporary Death Metal easily comparable to the sound of SUFFOCATION, CANNIBAL CORPSE or VILE […]
The Death Metal brutality and technical approach of bands in the CANNIBAL CORPSE / MORBID ANGEL vein, mixed with the twisted vocal sickness of early CARCASS and a couple of disharmonic elements à la old VOIVOD (‘Path Of Disgrace’, ‘Redwork’) – that’s kinda what you get from SONS OF CHAOS, another rather brutal outfit from […]
I’m really wondering why a label such as Century Media signed SONNE ADAM (well, actually the band is signed to Imperium Productions… Century Media “just” takes care of the CD edition of the album – Frank). Sure, the music is undoubtedly great but I don’t see a commercial value for such a big record company… […]
This is SONIC REIGN’s debut-mini with four songs that are the actual recordings plus a song from the upcoming full-length, to be released in 2005 on Supreme Chaos as well. And if I am totally honest I must say that there are albums I’d rather look forward to than the full-length of SONIC REIGN. This […]
Sadness, depression, melancholy… if that’s the type of mood you musically feel most comfortable in, you definitely should check out SOMBER SERENITY’s debut full-length album “Singular”. This four piece from the southern part of Germany has been active since 1995 already and released a couple of demos previously, but – apart from a bunch of […]
I can almost hear the complaints: “Sounds like we had this 15 years ago” and they’re right! But I don’t give a damn! People buying CDs with the Iron Glory logo know what to expect: home of the gods MANILLA ROAD, re-releases of early HELSTAR demos, etc. – old school Power and Thrash Metal is […]
“Spartanic” is an understatement when it comes to Century Media promo albums: just a plain CD is usually all you get, so I can’t give you any information about this band, sorry. SOLEFALD offer a fresh approach to extreme music: first of all there is Black Metal, then we have melancholic Metal songs I can’t […]
SweDEATHrash with a slight scent of Black Metal. SOLAR DAWN’s first full-length (well… 35 minutes) turns out to be quite enjoyable. Of course many people will ask themselves: why yet another IN FLAMES clone? Well, it’s not that bad at all! Christian Älvestam’s vocals are a little more extreme than what we usually get within […]
I’m not sure if it makes a lot of sense to spend money on a rather short, only eleven minutes lasting mini CD by a Swedish newcomer act. SOLAR DAWN already put out the featured three songs as a promo CD in early 2000 (back then it was still entitled “Desideratum”), but as it was […]
