Now how cool stuff is this…?! MACHETE, this new Finnish 5-piece heavily grooving and thrashy Metal act, featuring 3 guys from the Finnish Thrashers MOKOMA for example, could be considered as some sort of retro – Thrash / Death – trip back to the early days of both ENTOMBED and SLAYER in a somewhat peculiar […]
One underground label that successfully holds the blood spattered flag of old school Grindcore and Death Metal waving high above is US-based Razorback Records who delivered a good number of true highlights in these two subgenres of extreme music by releasing material of GHOUL, COFFINS, LORD GORE, SPLATTERHOUSE, BLOOD FREAK, MAUSOLEUM, IMPALED / HAEMORRAGHE etc. […]
I gotta admit that Grindcore ain’t exactly my favourite form of music and therefore my knowledge is rather limited. So, instead of making a fool out of myself I will just feed you with some facts about Machetazo instead, based on their bio. In 1994 three guys from the 90s underground scene cult death-grind act […]
LUNAR AURORA might be a pretty unknown name abroad but these Black Metal purists have been around for more than a decade now and in my opinion they still don’t get the recognition they rightfully deserve. For those of you who did not catch up with them since the beginning this is not their newest […]
One of the newest additions to Ibex Moon Records roster, the German LIFELESS unleashes their debut album “Beyond The Threshold Of Death”. Mastered by Vesa Kenttäkumpu from the Swedish EVOCATION, the label has tagged it as ‘traditional Death Metal’. I dare to ask myself, is there such a thing? Traditional to whom? Anyway, enough philosophy. […]
LICH KING is a Bay Area influenced, old school Thrash Metal five-piece from Massachusetts, USA that totally worships the good old classics by EXODUS, VIO-LENCE, FORBIDDEN, HEATHEN, DARK ANGEL and the likes. Their debut full-length “Necromantic Maelstrom” originally came out as a CD-R (at the time self-released by the band), but then California’s Stormspell Records […]
Thrash / Crossover from 1989 now staring you straight in the face with a wide eyed grin, while a rusty knife is plunged into your stomach just to keep your attention on the task at hand! This is brutal East Coast HC mixed with enough Metal to earn potential fans of CARNIVORE, M.O.D., The ACCUSED, […]
“Anthology” is just that, spread across two discs, a complete discography of the legendary NWOBHM legends, LEGEND! It’s been awhile since I gave my various LEGEND vinyls a spin, so it is was quite enjoyable to dust off the audible sensory in annals of my brain to re familiarize myself with all of this great […]
Never heard of this band before. They come from Germany and this is actually their second album. The first band that comes to my mind when listening to this is BELPHEGOR. The style is quite similar, a fast and heavy mixture of Death and Black Metal, with a very polished production… yes, quite too much […]
This release comprises of two MCD’s and the demotape recorded by this Spanish horde during the last years. “Atmospheric Black Metal” is what they’re aiming for and to put the record straight, they are not really getting there. Beginning with their “Pagannature” – demo from 1998: I don’t think that the world would be any […]
