HUMAN HARVEST is a Swedish duo composed of Jon Rudin (JUST BEFORE DAWN, DEAD SUN) and Jonny Pettersson (MASSACRE, ROTPIT). Lately, these two guys have been involved in countless bands, so the comparison to their countrymate Rogga Johansson is unavoidable. But just like Rogga, Rudin and Petersson deliver the goods. “Death Storms” is their second […]
When being exposed to new music, from time to time one faces bands whose style blurs the line between genres. One cannot find enough aspects to define what one is listening to. I think the Austrian trio TABULA RASA fits in that category perfectly. “…Und Ihre Fürchterlichen Gesänge” is their debut EP, courtesy of Ván […]
This is the second full-length album by these Heavy Metal and Hardrock hopefuls located in Essen, Germany. The five-piece, led by the charismatic singer Ricardo, continues in the direction they took two years ago with their much-acclaimed debut “Moonlit Cross.” However, the new record raises the question of what genre the band truly embodies, even […]
The story of this review begins with a confusion. A simple transposed letter, “a” instead of “v”, caused irritation for me. Quite a change of style, from symphonic Black Metal to Funeral Doom Metal, that was my first thought, until I realized that I was confusing ADVERSVM with ADVERSAM. To complete the confusion – there […]
I was originally introduced to the “Morbid Visions” album back in 1987 by Trey Azagthoth, who had recorded it for me on the flipside of a MORBID ANGEL rehearsal. It was not only the first music that I ever heard from SEPULTURA ever, but also the first South American band for me in general. As […]
“The Rebirth” is only the third album in total from long-lasting US Death Metal masters DETERIOROT, and the band’s first sign of life since “The Faithless”, its predecessor from 2010. The reason is quite simple: DETERIOROT’s vocalist, guitarist and songwriter Paul Zavaleta isn’t a fulltime musician and therefore doesn’t have to follow the rules of […]
“Leprosario Lazareto” is already the sixth album from THORNAFIRE, one of the most interesting Chilean Death Metal acts. The band continues with their tradition of doing mainly songs in Spanish, with lyrics that are covering anti-religious themes and critics towards organized religions. However, this new record loosely refers to an isolation hospital for people with […]
The third album of the series of GRACELESS re-releases is last year’s album “Chants From Purgatory”, also complete with two extra songs exclusive to the CD edition. Of course this release leads to the general question whether it makes sense to launch a re-release just a year after an album was originally unleashed, but it’s […]
Remco Kreft, guitar player in SOULBURN, among other musical activities, is one of those well known guys in the Dutch and European Death Metal scene. Yet it is probably not that much known that he has a band called GRACELESS, where he handles both guitar and vocal duties. And this band is definitely one to […]
Personally, I think every single piece of music that Mr. Pat Ranieri and Co. has released so far is amazing. I have been a long time fan starting from the 1989 “Purveyor Of Fear” 7″ EP. Now, to be completely honest, we need a little more than one album every 13 years (in average) from […]
