Here we have a new and promising act emerging from Meckenheim near Bonn / Germany called KRUSCHKE. They are around since spring 1998 and the first result of their efforts is this self-financed six song MCD Schattenreich. The music itself is basically powerful and groovy Death Metal gingered up with some other ingredients such as […]
KRONOS! I thought it was a Black Metal band, but hell – this is very far away from my expectation! The only reason why they chose KRONOS as the band’s name is their lyrics which are dealing with Greek mythology since the first album. As it was stated by the label, KRONOS is super-amazing and […]
I can keep this one short: excellent brutal Death Metal from France. Exquisite songwriting wrapped up in a powerful production. Strongly influenced by US Death Metal, KRONOS rage through their second album without any weaknesses. They definitely are a talented band and I hope they have the endurance to persevere among the legions of good […]
Unfortunately I’m completely lacking in info when it comes to these French Deathgrinders, so I can’t tell you much about the band’s activities prior to the release of this 12-track full-length. But anyway, “Titan’s Awakening” was sent to us together with “Decadence & Lust” by KRONOS’ countrymen DEPRAVED, for the simple reason that both share […]
With the recent signing by the French label Debemur Morti, this project of Mr.Numinas, ex-keyboardist of Evoken and Abazagorath, as well as drummer for Drawn And Quartered and ex-drummer of Funebrarum, presents their second full-length after two succesfull works, their mini CD “Crown Of The Ancients” and their first album, “A World Through Dead Eyes”, […]
I’ve never heard about this band before and I should admit it has been a great surprise and revelation from the US scene as I find no particular groundbreaking Black Metal act has been unleashed throughout this country. The one man band has been founded in 1995 and aims to capture the most depressive and […]
Never change a winning team!!! In the case of KRISIUN producer Andy Classen (Stage One Studios) is probably the best combination and “Southern Storm” bascially does the same hellraising Death march like the brilliant forerunner “Assassination”. Qualitywise the material is pretty much equal and in terms of variation KRISIUN have grown so much in terms […]
Mathematically correct Death Metal! Now, is that something we desire? After Rebaelliun’s “Annihilation”, Behemoth’s “Demigod” and Hate’s “Anaclasis – A Haunting Gospel Of Malice & Hatred” it’s not that I desperately need another perfectly played Death Metal extremity. By all means, Krisun’s “Assassination” is not only sheer brutality or drumming at light’s speed, but I […]
The blastmaster gods from Brazil are back! Personally I consider KRISIUN definitely as the most skilled and outstanding musicians in the entire Death Metal scene next to MORBID ANGEL and “Ageless Venomous” is again a proof for this thesis. But without beating the bush I can announce that KRISIUN’s fourth album can’t compete with the […]
KRIEG’s final album is a hard one to review. On one hand this is probably KRIEG’s most “musical” effort, and I must honestly say that this is certainly the album that I had the least problems with to give it full spins, on the other hand I am not sure whether the fact that it […]
