Formed in 2001, this one man band form Lithuania presents here their debut album, recorded with the help of session musicians, thus avoiding horrible programmed drums, which seems to be a part of their early discography. There is always something “exotic” with bands from this part of Europe singing, growling or screaming in their native […]
Here comes my second apology for today going out to Dutch Death Metal bastards THE LUCIFER PRINCIPLE. Aeons ago I received their second demo and now – finally – I fulfill my long due duty. Just like its predecessor, “Flamethrower” shows that groovy Death Metal doesn’t have to get boring as there are still enough […]
Bow down, you puny mortals… for “The Apostate” has arrived! What has happened? It was in 1995 when Death Metal went downhill that “Demonication – The Manifest”, the debut album of LUCIFERION was released. Clad in a very dry production in Studio Fredman, the listener became mesmerized by a brutal DEICIDE / MORBID ANGEL – […]
Despite the fact that LOWBROW still doesn’t sound anything killer – they’re still one of the best bands among the billion bands around in the Death Metal genre – the band features no less than three ex-NASTY SAVAGE members these days (Meyer, Bateman and Beeson), the line up being completed by Allan West (ex-XECUTIONER, OBITUARY […]
Allen West has turned into some very busy guy ever since his OBITUARY days… After he’s been constantly writing and playing with SIX FEET UNDER for a while, he immediately formed another project called LOWBROW, together with former NASTY SAVAGE members Curt Beeson (drums) and Ben Meyer (lead guitar). The line-up was completed by Scott […]
French Death Metal veterans LOUDBLAST strike again and with such powerful blast that most new bands should run and hide or better yet learn a thing or two from undisputed masters of European Death Metal. And no, I’m not French, hehe. See, LOUDBLAST had a very bad luck in the 90s with the labels, plus […]
There’s something about the Polish way of Death Metal that makes me smile. It’s always brutal, the sound of almost every album is strong, the musicianship seems just fine and these bands seem to be very confident. Hate, Vader, Behemoth (the best), Decapitated and now Lost Soul. To listen to albums from these bands is […]
I praised this phenomenal band yesterday, and I can’t help to do just that now. “Scream Of The Mourning Star”, their precedent album, was already a fantastic slab of fresh sounding devilish Death Metal, but I was afraid LOST SOUL might have disbanded, since I heard no news from their camp for two years. Fortunately, […]
Not to be confused with LOST SOULS from Sweden, this four piece hails from Poland, the Wroclaw area to be precise. This is their first full-length to my knowledge. As it is often the case with the Polish Death Metal bands, this one comes with a very strong debut. LOST SOUL offer us a highly […]
“Verdict…” is LOSS’ debut album and it’s strong! Their demo “Human Decay” had already been voted as the demo of the year 2000 in the swedish Close Up mag and by listening to their debut you can easily see why. Very intense and aggressive, yet melodic Swedeath (far less melodic than IN FLAMES, though): energetically, […]
