Coming from Italy, this is actually the third album of this pure Death / Thrash band, which has a very aggressive approach. Although their sound is based on the heavy weights of the style like SEPULTURA, MALEVOLENT CREATION or SLAYER, the band also mixes a bit of pissed off Hardcore in their music, and a […]
Named after a powerful WWII tank, this second full-length form this band based in the UK (although with a multinational line-up) offers probably something that by looking at the cover art, name and title is expected: total and war themed Black / Death Metal. Calling them War Metal is not wrong, yet I feel that […]
Austrian Black Metallers ARSGOATIA have just unleashed their debut album on famed Ván Records. The band formed in 2021 and has quickly worked on enough music to crank out a full-length album. This should be an interesting album as you can never go wrong with Austrian Black Metal (SUMMONING, PAZUZU, ABIGOR) and with the help […]
Chile and South America in general has always been a place full of underground Death Metal gems. Recently this part of the world has been in the spotlight thanks to SUPPRESSION’s beautiful album “The Sorrow Of Soul Through Flesh”, or again THORNAFIRE with their last work “Leprosario Lazareto”.

Another spark that shone forth beyond the darkness of Metal emerged from the land of Latin America. Founded in Chile in 2008, VERDUGO has been claiming a genre that is an unholy fuse of Black, Death and Thrash Metal in ancient ways. Their aims to glorify the gods of Metal, the early periods of SEPULTURA, […]
SÓL ÁN VARMA, which translates to Sun without Radiance, is a collaboration between members of some of Iceland’s most prominent Black Metal bands. This special collaboration comes into existence to play a one-off show at the Roadburn Festival in 2018 with material exclusively composed for that occasion. The cooperation was conceived by T.I.

“Shadowlands”, the Netherland’s GRACELESS’ debut album from 2017, has been reissued by Listenable Records with two bonus tracks. And what a debut album it is! Featuring band founder Remco Kreft (vocals, guitars), Bjorn (guitars), Jasper Aptroot (bass) and Marc Verhaar (drums), this Death Metal band released their first album with confidence and aplomb. It’s an […]
With ENEVELDE we have another fairly new band from the always blooming Black Metal scene in Norway, in this case from Trondheim. This makes ENEVELDE a part of the Nidrosian Black Metal movement that is said to be the most interesting part of the scene in the last years. When I wrote “fairly new” in […]
