“Anti-social Black Metal without the need of gimmicks or nude sluts on the album covers. Fuck off to today’s so called Black Metal and its trends! KRIEG supports the war against you!” Need I say more? This quote from the band’s info sheet should already give you an idea of what to expect when it […]
It is impressive how many bands want to be underground by doing almost no promotion whatsoever outside of their country. I have found Germany to be one of those places with a lot of Heavy Metal bands of all styles that are just a big mystery outside their homeland. KREON is one of them. Formed […]
The music biz is unpredictable, so you better expect the unexpected every now and then. Especially when it comes to KREATOR… I honestly didn’t really give a shit about them anymore after they released their “Coma Of Souls” album way way back in 1990. And I neither considered “Renewal” nor “Cause For Conflict” or “Outcast” […]
German based Folter Records are still a real dedicated underground label – despite the omnipresent decay within the whole scene – and luckily they are also still hungry enough to support new bands – this time the German newcomer KRATEIN. The band / project consists of members of several underground bands including the northern TODTGELICHTER. […]
When this album originally came out on Mordgrimm Records back in 1995 it still featured the band’s old name / logo COVENANT and a completely different packaging. Mainman Nagash was quickly recruited by DIMMU BORGIR shortly after but at the time this was basically just one of his countless side-projects anyway (among CARPE TENEBRUM, TROLL […]
The most wellknown Black Metal horde hailing from the islands of the Philippines presents us its new output. The quartet which saw its dark light of day in 1998 in Davao City takes again no prisoners and rages merciless through the eight tracks of the album which is entitled “Bastardo”. Total blasphemy reigns supreme again […]
KÖRGULL THE EXTERMINATOR is a Spanish band calling their style “Axe Black Thrash Metal”. Now this sounded suspicious straight away and I was damn right! Basically these poseurs play sloppy as diarrhea Black Punk, same rhythm throughout all songs, same 2-3 riffs and annoying screeching vocals. There’s no fuckin Thrash in that shit, just lazy […]
Over the last couple of years the Finnish Metal scene split up into two different ‘war camps’. On one hand the traditional true underground scene and on the other hand the extreme successful, but (in one way or another) corrupted and commercialized acts. My heart definitely belongs to the old, evil and ugly side headed […]
Denmark’s Deathrashers KONKHRA are back with their fifth studio album “Reality Check”, which was produced by Anders Lundemark (voc. / git.) at his Starstruck studio in Copenhagen. The powerful production pushes the energy of the altogether 12 tracks. The ten songs (plus instrumental and outro) are a balanced mixture of modern Thrash and Death Metal […]
I’ve never really been a big fan of the Danish Death Metal scene (even though there might be a handful exceptions, like INIQUITY, THORIUM etc.) and KOLDBORN certainly won’t manage to change that either. The main problem that I have with almost all of them is the fact that they very often incorporate modern groove […]
