Florida’s once Power Metal kings are back after a 12-year hiatus (well the regular reunion shows always let me envisaged a reformation fortunately) and back with a vengeance! Fuck yeah! What we have here is a six track affair, two new numbers (‘Sardonic Mosiac’ and ‘Wage Of Mayhem Part 1’), two totally crushing mid paced […]
Depressive, dark and eerie Black Metal that should appeal to fans of BURZUM, XASTHUR, JUDAS ISCARIOT or NACHTMYSTIUM offers this German trio. Whereas a lot of suicidal, melancholic Black Metal bands or better “projects” tend to use drum computers NYKTALGIA have a hammering human beast behind the kit and though each of the long songs […]
At least once in your lifetime, if you have been a real follower of what’s left of the underground Metal bands, you have crossed paths with the name of NUNSLAUGHTER. Probably the name sounded more funny than evil to you… probably you checked out how many releases this band gets… probably just comparable to what […]
Originally released as a tape LP in 2002 this rehearsal by US cult Death Metal maniacs NUNSLAUGHTER now also gets put out on CD and vinyl. The CD version made it into my filthy hands and since I would call myself a declared NUNSLAUGHTER-supporter I really looked forward to this release. Unfortunately “Hate Your God” […]
At first I was only interested in the Greek Death Metal label Nuclear Winter, because they feature bands like VERMINOUS / DELVE, NOMINON, IMPURITY etc in their ranks and I contacted Anastasis begging for promos. He send them and also put the demo of his own band sharing the label’s name on the CDR, added […]
If it comes to melodic Black / Gothic Metal the absolute burn out has been definitely achieved thanks to our dear friends from Donzdorf / Germany and their loyal worldwide supporters. So a further release will achieve as much attention as non alcoholic beer on a TANKARD concert even if this Swedish band is offering […]
Argh, when I saw the cover of this promo CD and its title for the first time I immediately went on the internet for information, as I had a big suspicion, which was finally totally right, and was confirmed when I first put the CD in the player. This is nothing but the continuation of […]
NOWEN from Finland was formed in 1999 by vocalist / guitarist Mikko Lappalainen. After two demos and one EP and various professional decisions (relocation / line-up changes) they’re ready to unleash their first full-length “Nothing But Hate” in 2009 on Violent Journey Records from Finland. I must say you can clearly hear that NOWEN got […]
As it’s not easy to get a copy of NOVEMBRE’s debut album “Wish I Could Dream Again”, the band releases it via Century Media in November 2002 under the name of “Dreams D’Azur”. It’s re-recorded with the help of former members Thomas Negrini (keyboards) and Antonio Poletti (guitars). The change of the album’s name is […]
Well, I don’t know the original version and had only heard of the band’s name before. Now this CD is being re-released by Osmose productions, remixed, mastered and completed with 6 bonus tracks (so the original must have been rather short). What you get is a highly original Metal horror musical with elements of both […]
