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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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” […]
Düsseldorf based Thrashers RAVAGE are back with their second strike. The new outbreak is entitled “Get Fucking Slaughtered” which is a high explosive mix of merciless Thrash Metal and some lethal Death Metal parts (and it totally kicks ass). Mostly this apocalyptic squad plays as swift as an arrow and the tracks have the same […]
This 9-tracker is already the second full-length effort of Finish Doom rockers of sweet melancholy. Unfortunately this is my first experience in listening, even though I tried hard to get ahold of their debut album “Futile”. Hence I cannot compare both their albums with each other. Anyway, if you are into KATATONIA’s “Brave Murder Day” […]
This is a release I have on my list already for a couple of weeks to write a review about. What happened that it took me so long? Perhaps the fact that I’m not sure how to describe the quality of this band. Again it was the great compilation “Resurrected In Festering Slime” which brought […]
Take some of the haviest crunchiest riffs from some of the best San Francisco Bay Area Thrashers, some wild but precise drumming and vocals as if Steve “Zetro” Sousa himself had been kidnapped and taken to Mexico city to do vocals for this truly evil and unholy Thrash Metal band! The drummer handles the vocals […]
Gosh, this output really surprised me. When I stated my interest in reviewing RAKOTH’s debut CD “Planeshift”, it was just the name that somehow intrigued me. But I didn’t have a clue what their music is all about. This formation consists of three ambitioned, young musicians from Russia, one guitarist, a programmer (they use a […]
If a band chooses as moniker the title of a known, classic record, it means, or it can mean, that the members are enthusing to that kind of music, they are fans of that music. That’s the case with this young Swedish outfit too. They were formed in 2008. Prior to this record, they released […]
