In my opinion only IMMOLATION might reach the intensity of the new NILE release and fight for the title ‘Death Metal album of the year 2002’ simple as that. I’m so glad I finally wrote all the reviews that had been piling up at home cause now there won’t be anything blocking my CD player […]
Well, it’s really hard to write about music I personally do not like, because NIGHTWARD from Italy are not bad musicians, the production is great as well, but fuck, I hate their style – sorry guys. Whoever loves this modern Swedish melodic Death / Thrash à la SOILWORK, DARK TRANQUILLITY and so on and so […]
I’m so sick and tired of bands like this! Finnish NIGHTSIDE (not to be mixed up with the above reviewed Italian band of the same name) is another superfluous Black Metal outfit who just rehash things that have already been done way too often before. Fast, traditional and totally uninspired stuff combined with melodic keyboards […]
This is the second release of this Malaysian band, as the extension to their debut demo entitled “Dead Rougayah”. I’m still curious why these guys are so obvious with Rougayah (for information, Rougayah is a traditional name for a Malayan women – and it sound totally old school!). They got four tracks of melodic Death […]
Bands like this simply bore me to death! NIGHTSIDE is another Swedish newcomer act dedicated to the Melodic Death Metal style that countless others have already been doing for many many years now. Will it never stop? Will labels never notice that it’s been getting too much?! I really wonder how many copies they are […]
Power Metal is for sure not my preferred cup of beer but if there is one band which has impressed me over the years with their great releases it’s for sure the French band NIGHTMARE. The band from Grenoble was founded in 1979 (!!!) and 30 years are – even if the band split up […]
I’m for sure not the biggest fan of American extreme Metal – except the handful of ABSU offerings – but with NIGHTBRINGER a real black entity is creeping over the Atlantic Ocean. The latest newcomer of the Avantgarde Music family – a label which still deserves their true underground reputation – is presenting with “Apocalypse […]
Despite working for nearly twelve years in the so-called health care system, the term “neurasthenia” was unknown to me. Generally the term describes a form of neurosis, which comes along with depressive moods like melancholy, dejection and intense mourning. Well, it was a good decision by NIFLHEIM to give their debut a name like this, […]
Twelve years have passed by now since the Swedish sickos of NIFELHEIM released their classic self-titled debut album via Necropolis Records. Twelve years in which they first and foremost delivered a bunch of vinyls (a compilation album and split EPs), but only four full-length albums, of which “Envoy Of Lucifer” is their newest offering now. […]
Hooray, the NIFELHEIM twins are back from madhouse to attack. “Servants Of Darkness” is already the third infernal strike of these sickos, which are infamous for being the biggest IRON MAIDEN die hard collectors, spikes’n’leather motor mechanics at Volvo as well as having a couple of quite deviant and perverse sexual predilections. Here you get […]
