The triumph in hatred. The title sounds more like a statement rather than anything else. It might as well be both. This Dutch band started back in 1994, and they have kept faithful to their roots and style. Actually more a one man band which gathers musicians when needed, I have been following their career […]
“Dodengang” is the third album delivered by SAMMATH from the Netherlands. Seven more or less long songs of fast northern styled Black Metal are offered here. Does not sound overly tempting one could say but luckily SAMMATH don’t follow the “Panzerdivision Marduk” formula. The drumming is definitely above average – tight, powerful and varied between […]
This output is part of an extensive compilation I was given by my boss – all hails Lord Stöver. This compilation comprises the acoustic abominations of five Black Metal outfits (namely SAMMATH, HELL ICON, THE REBELLION / THRONEUM – these two latter acts present their material in form of a split release – and SAURON) […]
I gotta admit that I wasn’t familiar with SALEM’s musical history yet, but according to their bio “Collective Demise” is already the fourth full-length album for this incredibly hard working unit from Israel. Their origin already dates back to 1985, and in the years to follow they released two demo tapes (“Salem” in ’86 and […]
When I usually find a Norwegian band in the reviews, it is mostly an horrific Black Metal band. Now, with former members of GORGORTH, MANNGARD and JOTUNSPOR, I was actually expecting the same. Oh boy, how wrong I was. This is, as you can read in the title their second offering. The style is more […]
So, dear Saduses, why are you so angry? Not only can we see you on the back sleeve as three angry motherfuckers, but the music you’ve rehearsed for “Out For Blood” bears witness of a band that has struggled throughout the years. Hmm, would I think that if I hadn’t known? If Sadus was a […]
Arrgghhhh! The South East Asian underground puked out a new bestial horde once again. SADIZTIK IMPALER are hailing directly from the Sinaporean Hell and really don’t take any prisoners. This infernal outbreak of pure blasphemic Black Metal is the spear into the rips of Christ. Mastermind Zahwarlock and his comrad Hanael who played already in […]
Here is the perfect example of a band and album fitting exactly with what VOICES FROM THE DARKSIDE is all about since its inception ten years ago. This Swedish four piece play an exquisite brand of Metal of Death, deeply rooted in the 80s fertile musical soil while not sounding “retro” or whatever. “Vicious Torture” […]
The sickos from Down Under are back with their insane brand of deathnoise. Until this one I had only the “K.A.O.S” album in my collection, and I can say nothing has really changed in the SAD-X camp since then. These guys are surely better musicians than they would like us to actually believe (their old […]
The most extreme band ever per definition! The problem is: they set this definition themselves and I’m pretty sure that there are more extreme bands around. A matter of definition anyway. What is extreme??? What the heck, sorry, what the fukk! One of the most well known and long lasting Metal acts from Australia is […]
