The cover of this album features what it seems butterflies in flames, the introduction of the record is a delicate piano piece, the keyboards are over dominant throughout the album, the songs bear very poetic titles, and some clear voices are mixed with extreme shrieks. Do you get the message? Yes, another clueless bunch of […]
Already released in mid 2008 this release is too good to be forgotten. Polish Death Black Thrashers (whatever…) PERSECUTOR deny the brutal and high technical Metal most Polish (Death) Metal acts used to play these days and offer some furious bastard between Death and Thrash Metal. Ultra tight, fast and brutal, larded with tons of […]
Incredible! This young bunch seems to consist of five highly talented guys! Not only does PERSECUTION’s self financed debut full-length album convince when it comes to the songwriting and technical skills, they even managed to produce the whole record in their own home studio (with impressive results!) and furthermore came up with a highly professional […]
Have no fear. Gene Palubicki is here! The man who writes music beautifully similar to good old vintage MORBID ANGEL has returned. The excellent BLASPHEMIC CRUELTY and APOCALYPSE COMMAND are testaments to his greatness, aside from the legendary ANGELCORPSE. Add PERDITION TEMPLE to that unblemished resumé. Word around the satanic campfire is that this was […]
The end of PENTAGRAM… I would have never thought it was possible to write this, but unfortunately, at the light of their latest offering, now it is a reality. I am sure you will not read any bad review about “Show’ Em How” anywhere else, simply because all records bearing the Bobby Liebling mark are […]
The fact this album exists is in itself a small miracle, the kind of which life in this miserable world becomes more supportable. Mind you: thanks to an Italian based label run by a bunch of true music lovers, live recordings of ultra cult Doom band PENTAGRAM captured in 1978 resurfaces in 2003 in their […]
This 17 tracks anthology documents the PENTAGRAM Peaceville Records era. Those who are already familiar with the three PENTAGRAM albums the British label issued in the 90s will find nothing more here, as no unreleased tracks are featured. But “Turn To Stone” is certainly an excellent introductory course for beginners who can thus be exposed […]
Older Voices From The Darkside readers may remember that the complete story of the PENTAGRAM formative years was covered already in the printed version (in issue # 8 I think, but don’t quote me on that) (you can, it’s correct – Frank). At the time, me among others could only dream about hearing the tracks […]
Be forewarned: you better stop reading this at once and go out to your favorite Metal shop to buy this new PENTAGRAM album at any cost. “Sub-Basement” is a masterpiece and it would be irrelevant to discuss that any further. So what follows I write only for pleasure, not trying to convince anybody. “Sub-Basement” is […]
I bet there are quite some Voices-visitors out there who have waited anxiously for PENTACLE’s newest attack and the various delays because of technical problems, if I remember correctly, made things only worse. Now I finally hold this newest strike of “ancient Death” in my hands and though it appears to be a more of […]
