ARKHON from Lima, Peru have only released one demo so far – namely “Devoured In A Dark Dimension” from 2019. This tape has been re-released with three bonus tracks as a digipak CD, limited to 300 copies. A four year old demo without the band releasing an album or anything like that yet – I […]
I think Brazil has graced the underground with some of the biggest and greatest bands ever. Their history of Extreme Metal, especially in the decade of the ’80s, is unparalleled. Personally, I think that one of the traits that defined that era of Brazilian Extreme Metal is the huge amount of uncontrolled savagery. This meant […]
I received this EP to check out and was surprised to hear this came out at the end of 2020 on Brutal Cave Productions, but German Death Metallers R.I.P. were able to have Argentinian Death Metal label Repugnant Records to reissue the album on CD. The quartet consists of members of the bands CHARRED REMAINS […]
It’s great to see that there’s still some old school print zines out there, especially in times like these, when everything else seems to be so incredibly fucked up and heavily pushed into a completely digitalized world. Yeah, I know that Voices From The Darkside is also part of that fucked up world for several […]
Spain’s SCENT OF DEATH have been around since 1998 with three full-lengths. So, a little slow in producing new albums… 7 years after the first release and 11 years after the second. But that’s ok. The band members have been busy with other bands in between all that. All we as fans ask is that […]

Founded in 2003, the project celebrates its 20th anniversary, after nine full-length albums and several EPs and split releases this year, so Iron, Blood And Death Corporation […]
It’s a bit strange nowadays to find certain bands that preserve the spirit of Black Metal from the first half of the ’90s and that have a certain level of good musical production, that allows us to better appreciate the great music made in the ’90s by the pioneers of this style, but without straying […]
Hailing from Gdansk, Poland comes the second full-length album from HELL’S CORONATION. Starting off with fire and then erupting into floor tom rolls, the ritual commences. The duo consisting of Zepar and now Skogen lean heavily into the well traversed realms of the Black / Doom abyss that they are quite well familiar with. The […]
Portugal, land of the sun! But not only, as BLASPHEMOUS FIRE prove with their debut album “Beneath The Darkness”. It gets hot here too, but more like a fever from the heated caves of the deepest chasms of hell that roll towards the listener. Rolling is the right keyword, because the style is characterized by […]
CROSS ROARR is an entity that was formed during 2014 in Manizales, Colombia. CROSS ROARR cannot be pigeonholed into a single subgenre, because their sound is a mix of Heavy, Doom, Speed, Thrash and Black Metal. To this day, this Colombian trio has released one demo, two full-lengths, three splits and one compilation. This review […]
