It’s really a pity to see how these guys from the northern part of Germany still have to struggle… For unknown reasons they never really managed to gain the recognition they surely would’ve deserved for quite a while already. It almost seemed to me that the four guys in SECRETS OF THE MOON are cursed […]
Since their formation in 1999 Sweden’s SEARING I have recorded four demos so far, and now they have released their debut album “Bloodshred”. It contains 14 songs of modern Death / Thrash Metal, with an intense combination of aggression and melody. The band makes sure to offer a good variety of speed within the songs […]
Well, this is quite a lot of music for the money and although I was never much into this kind of atmospheric Black Metal, I have to say honestly, that SEAR BLISS’ new album is pretty good for this kind of art. It is far, far, far away from gay bands like CRADLE OF FILTH […]
SCYTHE is a two-piece (!!) band from the northern part of Germany that has been around since 1994 by now and already released two CD’s prior to “On My Way Home” (“Last Eclipse” in 1999 and “Silent Is The Future” in 2000). Judging them by this eleven new tracks it’s quite obvious that they are […]
“File under: Black Metal” sez the record company’s info sheet. Well, Black Metal fundamentalists will probably run amok. Yes, SCREAMIN’ DAEMON sound pretty high pitched. This counts for the guitars as well as for the vocals but does that make a band Black Metal? A concept album about your national serial killers? If that’s Black […]
This is the second album from the Finland based band THE SCOURCER, a band which carries ex-members of bands as GANDALF, THE WAKE or DIVINE DECAY. To be perfectly honest, fans of melodic Death / Thrash Metal will surely like this album. It’s filled with cool melodies, cool guitarsolos, cool songs with a certain “mainstream” […]
“Cyber Thrash Metal” and “Acid Thrash Madness” is what these three guys from Finland have in mind when it comes to destroy all that stands in front of their skull-ridden tank, judging from their welldone artwork. The music itself is less cyber or brutal as you might expect but nonetheless SCORNGRAIN enter the arena with […]
Raw and aggressive Thrash Metal, that’s the stomping ground of SCORNAGE from Germany. With harsh riffing and powerful vocals, they push through ten dynamically arranged songs, well balanced between pushing and groovy parts, which sound a bit like MASSACRA from France and KONKHRA from Denmark. The production is also very good, so all you Thrash […]
Holy shit!!!! This is brilliant! If you are into technical Death Metal in the vein of old ATHEIST, NOCTURNUS, old CYNIC, GORGUTS, newer DEATH or PESTILENCE make sure to get your hands on this new release by Polish SCEPTIC! The band consists of extremely talented musicians, delivers eight very complex own compositions (+ intro), as […]
More than three years have passed by now since Chicago’s SCEPTER came up with their debut full-length “I’m Going To Hell”. The album, which was the logical follow up to their two already very promising mini CDs (“Up Thy Ass” and “Metal Supremacy”), not only ended up being a pretty solid foundation for the three-piece […]
