Sometimes, I do have the feeling that there are a few brave enough to dare to create music, yet they refuse to have a big audience… whereas most musicians’ dreams are to become big and famous, some more are just pleased with having the freedom of creating music. Enter OBSCURITY from Germany. On “Várar” they […]
An old school Death Metal band called OBSCURE INFINITY? Strange, thought they disappeared years ago… Obviously we are not talking about the Swedish Death Metal band from the early nineties releasing such great tapes as “Beyond The Gates” or the Promo ’94. Here we are talking about the German youngsters with the same name. Well, […]
Wow… the sound of oldies never gets outdated, does it? OBSCURE, this 4-piece cherisher of the past sounds of Heavy Rock and Metal, coming from Bergen, Norway, haven’t exactly done anything particularly revolutionary of groundbreaking in the fields of growing their seeds of 70s and 80s sounds better or stronger than some other newer bands […]
There are many OBSCURE’s out there. Most are located in Germany. This particular OBSCURE is from Norway, and judging from the music they play, a band that is well acquainted with fellow Norwegians TNT, and of course, many other early Metal acts spanning the globe, including not a few Rock and Roll groups. The album, […]
I always liked OBSCENITY. They’ve been around for so long and never got the attention they deserved. Things seem to change, though. Their last album “Cold Blooded Murder” already showed just how much potential the band still hasn’t unleashed yet. Now, “Where Sinners Bleed” is definitely gonna show everybody just how good they actually are. […]
Faster! More brutal! This has been the “trend” in the East Frisian Extreme Metal Scene ever since I started to discover it. The scene’s best known Death Metal outfit obviously picked up this vibe as well. The follow-up of “Intense” therefore might just as well have been called “More Intense”. “Cold Blooded Murder” is more […]
“Intense” is already one year old but as I was crushed at an OBSCENITY gig very recently, I felt the urge to review this album. OBSCENITY play old school Death Metal: sometimes very fast, sometimes very melodic (in terms of Death Metal in the American vein), “Intense” is probably the most mature album in the […]
Thrashcore / Crossover is coming back again, or that’s what it seems seeing MUNICIPAL WASTE having so much recognition and some new bands like $$$ coming after them, or even this new project, called OBSCENE GESTURE, that have ex-members of bands in their ranks which are not new at all in this scene, like AGENT […]
What the fuck is this supposed to be? Noisecore? Grindcore?! Hardcore mixed with Death and Thrash Metal??! I simply don’t get it… OBLIGATORISK TORTYR is the new home of former GRIEF OF EMERALD drummer Fredrik Helgesson, who left his old band after their cool “Nightspawn” debut in order to concentrate on this weird outfit exclusively. […]
To listen to this latest offering by this (rightly so) legendary Floridian outfit is like to cheer the return of a long gone friend. OBITUARY have stuck to a solid musical formula throughout the years, they have stayed consistent with themselves and their fans. But this time they have gone even farther by unleashing an […]
