In case you’re wondering why there’s another feature on this MCD after such a long time since its original release let me explain it to you in a few words. Hollands Damnation Records unfortunately ceased to exist a while ago and in order to give this brilliant PENTACLE material a proper US release (as well) […]
Our buddies of PENTACLE are also still alive and well and released right before their mini-tour with DESASTER, this very entertaining piece of mayhem! The album kicks off with a furious new track ‘Prophet Of Perdition’ followed by a re-recording of their golden oldie ‘Descending Of The Soul’ (originally on their one and only demo […]
Tired and bored by thousands of average and mediocre releases? Are you looking for something really superb and outstanding? Something you haven’t heard yet? Okay, then put just one band on your shopping list: PAVOR. In 1993 PAVOR released one of the best German Death Metal demos of all times. In 1994 PAVOR released one […]
PATHS OF POSSESSION as far as their bio depicts was the brainchild of Richard Brunelle (ex – MORBID ANGEL) and some other guys interested to put together a band with a style quite challenging and never heard before. The aim was and still is, blend elements of old styled Heavy Metal with Swedish melodic Death […]
If a band is covering HELLHAMMER’s ‘Horus / Aggressor’ and the song fits into the release like a naked women on a satanic altar the musical direction should be more than clear. PARAGON BELIAL is playing traditional Black Metal and their debut “Hordes Of The Darklands” had been released over a decade ago. But they […]
Well, when I heard the first riff and the first incredible fast drum beats of the short opener ‘Tomorrow’ I thought “hell yes – this is cool”, but as soon as Bo Summer’s first growls emerged the speakers I was disappointed. How can you ruin a great production, powerful and effective old school Death Metal […]
This is my first ever time hearing and buying an album by this band, I actually thought from what people told me that they were either a melodic Death Metal band or a Black Metal band. They are neither completely. What PANZERCHRIST is a mixture of brutal Death Metal, raw Black Metal and hardened Thrash. […]
These Polish veterans were already founded in 1990, changed their name to DOMAIN in 1995, but changed it back to PANDEMONIUM in 2004 after some legal disputes. They’ve built a decent discography and their 1992 demo “Devilri” from 1992 is considered classic by some. At that time, the pretty unknown Polish underground was already blooming […]
Sweden’s PANDEMONIC have been around since 1998 already and released two demos (“Lycanthropy” and “Ravenous”) as well as a self-financed full-length album (“The Authors Of Nightfear”) ever since. “The Art Of Hunting” is their newest offering (recorded in 2003), a nice little four tracker, which features the tracks ‘Ravenous’, ‘The Lycanthrope Within’, ‘1764 (The Beast […]
After ten years in business the Czech Death Metal horde PANDEMIA unleash their third full-length album. Sadly their previous releases are unknown to me, but after listening to this output I really think I missed something! The nine songs (including two instrumentals) on “Riven” are truly great, if you call yourself a Death Metal fanatic. […]
