Together with SATAN’S HOST this might be one of the best choices for the revival of the Thrash Metal in the US. You might be really surprised to see Moribund Records giving a chance to a deathy Thrash Metal band. Well, the answer is simple, this band definitely has earned their share of attention with […]
Even after several years I’m still not completely convinced about the necessity of such musical sub genres like Suicidal Black Metal. The heart of this style is 100% Black Metal with the only special feature that some parts are played with 16 rpm instead of the standard speed. But if a band is headed by […]
As 2010 nears the home stretch, a brief retrospective reveals the last decade had a good fair share of once-forgotten old school music – this, mainly in the form of compilations and reunion shows. Not so frequent were new records by new bands that were convincing enough (or honest enough – if you prefer, though […]
I have to confess this band has always been anything but an interesting listen for me, given their inability to actually offer astonishing material to the scene. Don’t get me wrong, they surely do their homework well but were born simply as a tribute to the music they grew up listening to and still are. […]
Götz schould already have done enough research in his interview when it comes to all necessary backing information on these guys, so we can go straight into the music of this record. Basically I would define their style as raw Black Metal, but that’s a little too simple here as NOCTUARY are neither playing the […]
I don’t know why stuff like this is called “avantgarde”! The term is far too easily used these days. I have never heard anything from NOCTE OBDUCTA before but with this release I don’t have the impression of listening to something completly innovative or new. On the other hand I have to be fair for […]
It took me long to finally start writing this review: along with terrifying laziness came the question: how can one possibly do justice to the beauty and the might of this album? Should I even try some sort of poetic approach? Nah, definitely the wrong moment. So I’ll just try the usual thing about NOCTE’s […]
One of Germany’s longest serving, but on the other hand most productive, Black Metal-bands returns with a new mini-CD (two new full-length-albums are already being worked out according to their new label) – and please be aware that label as well as band don’t consider this as a full-length-output while on the other hand several […]
This is the second full-length of this German outfit, and maybe they should have abstained themselves to release it, because “Demigod” fails to deliver the goods so to speak. This album is another example of an uninspired work, in which the boring factor is prominent. We are facing more and more of such releases today, […]
Three years after the release of their highly successful “In Their Darkened Shrines” album, followed by countless touring activities all around the globe, NILE has finally returned to the scene with a new full-length record. And fans of the band will certainly be more than pleased again as “Annihilation Of The Wicked” basically turned out […]
