Death Metal anno 2005 more and more seems to be influenced by bands like PANTERA and MACHINE HEAD, just with the so called Death Metal-like grunts / growls added to it. NECROID is no exception, as this three man-outfit from the south of Germany doesn’t offer anything else than the hybrid before mentioned. I wonder […]
Beginning with an acoustic intro almost dead on to TESTAMENT’ ‘Trial By Fire’ from the album “The New Order” interlaced with female chanting, rasping ghoulish screams, polished lead guitar work, and borderline tribal drumming = 4:26 in total. I wasn’t exactly sure of what I was getting prepared to hear exactly from these Genovese Death […]
If you’re following our features regularely, the name NECROFLESH should already ring a bell because Matt, the drummer of Italy’s HORRID, is also involved in this band as well. Last year they released a very cool three song promo, which featured the tracks ‘To Burn In Perdition’, ‘Fall Into Oblivion’ and ‘Worship To Rot’. Musically […]
Italy’s cult Black / Thrash commando NECRODEATH is back with its fifth album. After ten years of silence the two previous comeback albums “Mater Of All Evil” and “Black As Pitch” were examples for excellent in-your-face Black / Thrash Metal and the new album basically offers the same ingredients as its antecessors but is upgraded […]
Italy’s NECRODEATH have always been a good address for raging old school Thrash Metal, but qualitywise they became even stronger when they finally returned to the scene in 1998. Their comeback album “Mater Of All Evil” was one of the finest releases in 1999. The much improved musical skills and songwriting abilities easily managed to […]
Fast Black Metal blending influences from newer DARK FUNERAL and traditional Nordic Black Metal this duo from Israel has to offer on their first full-length after a demo in 2001. As typical for lots of the Black Metal-duos or solitary musicians out there a drum computer can be found on this one as well, but […]
Kind of going backwards with this band. As I was first introduced to this band’s brutal sounds by way of Rodrigo of Blood Harvest Records with the 7″ EP “Supreme Occult One – The Underground Abhorrence”. Now I have their debut album before me and what a monster of a Death Metal record this is! […]
The self chosen exile – original words from their record company – can be a very lonely place and after 11 years the Australian band NAZXUL has risen like a phoenix out of their own ashes. The band’s debut “Totem”, released in 1995, had been one of the first Black Metal monuments from Down Under […]
Another release from Poland, licensed by Empire Records to Adipocere for western territories distribution purpose. The question is if we really need another record like this one can be raised again, as NAUMACHIA offer a rather tasteless brand of melodic progressive Death Metal heavily tainted with Power Metal inputs. As usual with this new generation […]
Never heard of these guys before, but the fact that former CROSSFIRE guitarist Rudi Van De Spye founded NATIVE INSTINCT back in 1999 together with Ivan VH (courtesy of BLUE QUEST, another completely unknown act to me) should easily gain them some beforehand attention already. NATIVE INSTINCT already released a six track mini album in […]
