Finally this New York band gets a good record contract with a pretty good label, after many years on the indie circuit. Their last album “Progression Towards Evil” sold 11.000 copies for an independent release!! However they are back with 9 groovy, very Death Metal tracks. Most tracks have hilarious samples then the power crashes […]
Funeral Doom… being the third full-length this album will most probably appeal to all the fans of their previous releases. Musically this is depressive slowmotion Doom with some melancholic moments and harmonies but more varied than before concerning speed and arrangement. You still have downtuned guitars playing rather simple and static lines accompanied by an […]
I really have no idea who’s supposed to buy this. I mean, I seriously doubt that these guys are already established enough to release a 2-track only MCD, which is rather expensive and usually just works for a band like METALLICA or something… Furthermore the packaging (even though it comes as a digipak) is ugly […]
Behold the Pentagram on bass and vocals; Sacrifice the Virgin on guitar and Haunting the Beyond on drums. Yes, this infernal trio from Sweden is what forms SKELETAL SPECTRE. Razorback Records seems to be releasing quite a few bands that fit the Death / Doom Metal moniker one way or another. This also fits in […]
The first thing to hit the listener here is the interesting use of harmonics that burst like sun spots in the background. This band has a firm grasp on how Black Metal can work. Sounding a small bit like EMPEROR on “Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk”, especially when they play fast, SKALDIC CURSE do […]
The German underground, especially if it comes to all kind of Pagan Metal combos, is currently a very efficient machinery and the expected burnout of this new scene is more a solid fact than future telling. SKADY – the old goddess of the hunt – is a further newcomer and their style can be very […]
Sometimes music is closely connected with good / bad memories from the past and listening to the latest Osmose release I remember the times when nearly every Osmose release was a pure classic, easily explained by the fact that almost all Black Metal hordes from Scandinavia found their way to Beaurainville in France. In 2007 […]
“We don’t want to produce Hightech – Death Metal – albums, we just want to keep the spirit of experimental Death Metal- / Grindcore music alive.” Cool. All right with me. “THE SIXTH INCUBATOR was founded to release experimental Death Metal / Grindcore – albums in an old form like old PUNGENT STENCH / CARCASS […]
I really don’t know how to start because SFU are not my favourite Death Metal band at all, probably because they still refuse to go real fast from time to time. I’m far from being a high speed junky but having groovy songs all the time can become a bit boring. Apart from that, SFU […]
Can somebody please explain to me why the fuck these guys have become so incredibly successful throughout the last couple of years?! Is this simply another example of major magazine manipulation and extensive hype?! I don’t know… But I mean, c’mon – compared to what some of the members already delivered in their old bands […]
