If you take a closer look into the glorious history of the Netherlands you will find a lot of war, plague, famine and death – so the perfect lyrical background for any local Metal band. With MONDVOLLAND a further Dutch act is presenting their official debut with nine tracks of these days so called Pagan […]
After two demos this five-piece from the US releases their debut consisting of eight tracks of heavy contemporary American Death Metal. Overall, the songs are more of a groove oriented nature with lots of double bass drumming and powerful riffing – but not pure “slam – riffs” from the frognoise department. Variation comes in form […]
Full power to the engines, prepare all weapons, let the killing begin – these words are the perfect introduction to “Damned To Blindness” the debut of THE MODERN AGE SLAVERY. The band has been founded in 2007 and is heading from Italy to demonstrate that not only German bands like MAROON or HEAVEN SHALL BURN […]
To get rid off the negative things first for a change: the band’s name as well as the cover of this CD (an almost unrecognizable picture in military olive-green) sucks beyond belief ! With a visual presentation like this you probably might attract a Punk fan, but certainly not the die hard Thrash / Death […]
Over the years, a plethora of great bands has emerged from the Canadian scene, be it classic Thrash Metal or filthy warlike Death / Black Metal and it seems this steady flow of quality acts is not about to stop anytime soon. The debut album released by Victoria-based MITOCHONDRION came as a huge surprise to […]
Yes, definitely if a band really wants to make things in a right way, they do it. And that’s the case with this Spanish band. MISTWEAVER are not new in this as they had another CD released called “Sol Obscuritatur” that was not bad at all although I think it didn’t got the attention it […]
For all of you who aren’t familiar with Sweden’s MISTELTEIN yet, here’s some facts for ya: “Divine, Desecrate, Complete” is already their second full-length offering (following the band’s debut “Rape In Rapture”), with a production courtesy of Malmö’s quite famous Berno Studio. MISTELTEIN have been around since 1996 by now and have dedicated themselves to […]
You think that politics and Metal are best kept separated? You hate nothing more than the “spoiling” of Death Metal’s supreme power with Punk / Hardcore-energy? And you think that the only true soul of Metal lies in the spirit of the European scene back in the eighties? Then better stay away from this record. […]
At last we have the first album of this American band that emerged out of DYING FETUS, when John Gallagher decided to kick out the other three members of the band after the “Destroy The Opposition” album. So it was then when Jason Netherton, Sparky Voyles and Kevin Talley formed MISERY INDEX and after one […]
I’m wondering if this CD is supposed to be sold for the price of a full-length? There are 4 new tracks on here (good production), 1 cover song (TERRORIZER’s ‘Dead Shall Rise’) and 3 live tracks (okay sound). Not even 25 minutes and the 2 (rather boring) live videos wouldn’t justify a full price, either, […]
