REBIRTH OF NEFAST – Only Death

This is also a MC only demo from the guys of Debemur Morti Productions. 3 songs but a total playing time of over half an hour. There is really not much information about this two men project. The origin is unknown. After an intro of maybe monk singings the hell breaks loose. 14 minutes of […]

REBAELLIUN – Annihilation

Two years ago REBAELLIUN produced with “Burn The Promised Land” an album which can be considered as an absolute masterpiece. I listen to it myself on a regular basis so I expected very much from “Annihilation”, the sophomore real effort from the Brazilian maniacs, and I know I am not alone in this case. Well, […]

REBAELLIUN – Bringer Of War

I guess I gotta admit that I hate album covers like this here. Putting a soldier (probably out of WWII) or a tank (like several other bands do these days) on your sleeve does make the whole thing look a lot more like a stupid Hardcore record and not like a Death Metal release. Yeah, […]

RAZOR FIST – Metal Minds

Another piece of beautiful black plastic is offered by High-Roller-Records with this cool LP called “Metal Minds” by the American Speed / Thrash band RAZOR FIST. Packed in a great looking gatefold-sleeve this LP brings us back to the mid 80s, both in sound, songs and bandpictures. The vocalist is a great maniac with a […]

THE RAVENOUS – Assembled In Blasphemy

Combining an all star cast consisting of Dan Lilker, Killjoy and Chris Reifert, THE RAVENOUS’ take on savage and malign Death Metal is a kin to the mighty “Mental Funeral” album released by Chris Reifert’s former gore-mongers, AUTOPSY. Whilst there are glaring similarities between AUTOPSY and THE RAVENOUS, it must be said that AUTOPSY is […]

RAVENDUSK – Astroblack Advent

I know that in certain circles bands like DIMMU BORGIR, LIMBONIC ART and CRADLE OF FILTH are the next best things to sliced bread. But to this tempered / weathered writer, acts such as these are actually the next best thing to a fistful of Xanax! Followed of course by a few shots of high […]

RAVENCULT – Morbid Blood

It is undeniable that bands like ROTTING CHRIST, NECROMANTIA and VARATHRON (just to name a few) once took the scene by storm with their own brand of extreme music. Some of them have wandered away from their original style. So, a bunch of up and coming bands are continuing the tradition of evilness. And, in […]

RAVENCULT – Temples Of Torment

I ordered the demons to attack! To consume the flesh of those unworthy. This is the sound of these four summoners of Black Metal from Hellas. They approach with the usual armory, yet at this time and age, are able to create a sound that makes their attack interesting. Some hints of early Sumerian demons […]

RAVAGER – Naxzgul Rising

A lot of bands live and die in the time of a flash, and so it is the case with RAVAGER: “Naxzgul Rising” will remain their final testimony, as the band unfortunately folded prior to the release of this CD, due to the usual and unconvincing “musical differences”. Well I have a soft spot for […]

RAVAGER – Storm Of Sin

Remember LIERS IN WAIT? Well, if you do love this sadly defunct cult band, I have certainly something of interest for you here. RAVAGER is the new incarnation of the Mexican band DOMAIN who where responsible for a split CD with another band from Mexico (I think) not so long ago. So “Storm Of Sin” […]
