Well, never chanced to hear of SOL before this album, so I cannot tell you if there has been any release prior to this album. Emil Brahe, the man behind this one man project SOL, plays an extreme kind of blackened / deathlike Doom Metal, he is eager to create a very own black as […]
This new generation of Swedish Death Metal with acts like DARKANE, GARDENIAN, THE FORSAKEN, CARNAL FORGE, TERROR 2000 and SOILWORK is seriously coming up with impressive quality releases lately! This six-piece act from the Southern part of the country has done quite some vast step forwards lately and now already comes up with their strong […]
Already in August 2002 Swedish brutal Death Metal outfit SOILS OF FATE recorded “Crime Syndicate”, their second full-length CD after the highly acclaimed “Sandstorm” album in 2001. After the departure of drummer Jocke the drum beast many will know from his work with DYING FETUS or MISERY INDEX Kevin Talley joined SOILS OF FATE and […]
The first time I listened to this album I was hooked, so I bought it without much delay. I didn’t have any preconceived ideas about the kind of music SOILENT GREEN play, and I finally found a fresh and original band. This is their sophomore release, after the “Sewn Mouth Secret” out in 1998, also […]
WWWWWWHHHHHOOOOOOAAAAAAAA… you may wonder what way to start a review is that? Well I must say that is the way SODOMIZER will blowout your speakers with the opening themes of ‘Blessed By The Virus Of Death’ which serves as the perfect introduction to one of the most hellish, satan-possessed and delicously malicious album of the […]
After Wacken Uncle Tom and Co. continue celebrating 20 years of sodomy and lust in the sign of evil with their eleventh full-length entitled “M-16”. Once again they’re dealing with the Vietnam topic. And as both KREATOR as well as DESTRUCTION released some real good Thrash this year, SODOM stick to their roots, so the […]
The monicker lead me to think of SNIPER as a band playing classic Thrash Metal all the way but it turned out that it’s just part of the truth. Actually, the album opens with a fast Black / Death riff and a looong scream, then a Thrash break comes, followed by grunts and then a […]
Any fan of Death Metal should know a band like SLUGATHOR. Their brand of brutal music is nothing new to the scene. But their flawless execution and their different approach to this extreme style of Metal hasn’t gone unnoticed. “Reviled, Defamed And Spat Upon”, courtesy of Time Before Time Records, is a great collection of […]
This is the second full-length from Finnish SLUGATHOR following their debut “Unleashing The Slugathron” released in 2003. I somehow missed that one, maybe because I liked the first two 7″es but wasn’t exactly blown away by them. Well, this time SLUGATHOR deliver a fine slab of brutal and dark heavy Death Metal obviously influenced by […]
“Yellow Acid Rain” is already the fourth release by Switzerlands SLUDGE, following an EP on Godhead Records in 1996 (“Sweet Daisy”) as well as two full-length albums on Headstrong Records (“The Well” in 1998 and “Scarecrow Messiah” in 2000). Their line-up features SAMAEL’s Marko on guitars / bass, they previously had worked at the famous […]
