According to the label’s info sheet on Austrian melodic Deathers LORDS OF DECADENCE, the band was voted ‘Best Newcomers of 2004’ by Rock Hard magazine, Germany. Well, I must say: the melody lines LORDS OF DECADENCE come up with are pretty good indeed. A more than just solid songwriting supports that statement. Some of the […]
It’s kinda weird that this band originally started out as the alternative playground for three members of a Black Metal act (WRAITHEN) in 1998… I mean, which “serious” Black Metal musician feels the urge to come up with music in the vein of AUTOPSY and IMPETIGO these days? That’s definitely not a “true” attitude, hahaha… […]
First of all do not get confused by the album’s excessive playing time because the 11 songs plus an intro make over 40 minutes of music and 30 minutes are noisy crap at the end of the CD. Although this is a pretty stupid idea it does not affect my opinion that the Californian Gore […]
Even though the band’s name should already basically speak for itself, I’ll give you a short quote from their info sheet: “LORD GORE is a slavering horde of psychotic individuals with an insatiable hunger for violence, gore and deviated pornography… drawing inspiration from Autopsy, Impetigo, Rigor Mortis…” In other words – what you get here […]
Even though the release of LORD BLASPHEMER’s self titled debut demo already dates back to 1989, I seriously doubt that many of you will still remember this Chicago bunch (me included)… Let’s face it, their existence was simply too short lived to gain big international attention due to the fact that the band already fell […]
Italy is for sure not the Metal nation number one but open minded labels like My Kingdom Music have supported continuously their local underground so that a lot of interesting albums have the chance to be noticed by a wider audience these days. A further Italian act for open minded people is the one man […]
Black Metal is still a very young Metal genre but during the last five years for a lot of people it became quite obvious that only a handful of bands can still offer something new and unique to this style. Luckily the Metal world is not as black as it seems because there are still […]
Musically this is a really good release. LORD BELIAL show how melodic Black Metal can sound without any keyboards. Creepy atmosphere on rather slow songs or even hymns. Cool dark artwork. There are four tracks on this CD limited to 1666 copies. 3 brand new tunes that remind me a little of DISSECTION. The slow, […]
Sometimes I feel attracted towards a particular band in the first place for some elements that have nothing to do with the music itself. When I randomly picked up acts from the www.myrrthronth.de list, the name LORD (simple and very evocative) retained my attention, and then I surged on their website. All what I saw […]
This is heavy stuff which is served by Longing for Dawn from Canada. Only 4 songs but with a total length of 48 minutes. After 3 minutes of the first song the first riff starts. This is slow, really slow and really deep and massive. The band builds minatory sound walls with ultra deep grievous […]
