I’m not quite sure who’s supposed to buy this… OBITUARY fans (or let’s just say a lot of Death Metal fans in general) most certainly already own the band’s five studio albums and everyone else probably won’t consider picking up a “best of” compilation by one of the leading bands of this genre anyway, so… […]
At a first glance this release turned out to be a slightly more rewarding experience compared to their recent recordings that shows the band desperately looking for notoriety without backing that up with at least decent music. As mentioned somewhere in this site, their biggest flaw is not being able to get hooked up with […]
Now that’s something different. One quick research at christiananswers.net tells us that the meaning of the word obeisance according to Gen.37:7; 43:28 is “homage or reverence to any one”. Well, something tells me that these three American fuckwits aren’t exactly paying tribute to any kind of intelligent designer with their music… But whoever inspires them […]
For the NUCLEAR ASSAULT fans who thought “Survive” was lacking in intensity, they should have thought NA had redeemed themselves on the follow up, “Handle With Care”, originally released in 1989. By then, Thrash and Crossover were dwindling in popularity thanks largely to the advent of Death Metal and certain labels that had managed to […]
Death Metal… Swedish Death Metal. If by today you have not heard about this great band NOMINON, or you have just passed them by, you are in a big mistake. Then again, if you already know them for their later albums, this is an excellent time to rediscover their debut album, which was released back […]
Originally released two years ago, this is likely the first most people have heard of NOMAD since they formed in the mid-90s. As you may expect, NOMAD is an anti-christian Death Metal band with all the trappings: blast beats, heavy riffs, growling vocals, and gurgling bass. But as this is the staple of every other […]
An extremely good idea to put those two legendary demos on one CD to say the least. First demo from late 1987 featured the very first NOCTURNUS line-up with Bateman (ex-AGENT STEEL, now in NASTY SAVAGE), Crowley (ACHERON), Marino and of course the one and only Mike Browning since NOCTURNUS was his new project following […]
Turns out it’s 1991. It had been 3 years since I started tape trading with some people out of my country, one of them being my pen pal Steve Dobbins aka Stevo from IMPETIGO. I remember the exact day when I got these 2 tapes from him full of demos and EPs. One of them […]
I really have no idea why the official re-release of these classic recordings took so incredibly long… I mean, considering the fact that without NIHILIST there probably would be no Swedish Death Metal sound (as we all know it) AT ALL, it’s really a shame that a shitload of less important tapes were re-issued properly […]
Great work from AreaDeath again! Next to the very cool and complete compilations for DECEASED, INSANITY, SKITZO, SAVAGE DEATH and a pretty cool range of other obscure and very old school bands, they also re-released the very cool NECROPHAGIA debut album “Seasons Of The Dead” with all their official demos and the unreleased EP from […]
