According to the info sheet, JIGSORE TERROR from Sweden formed in 2001 to p(l)ay tribute to their favourite old school Death / Grind acts like REPULSION, TERRORIZER and early DEATH. If this triumvirate belongs to your faves, chances are likely that JIGSORE TERROR might appeal to you, too. They fiercely blast through 15 songs and […]
The Italian extreme Metal scene is currently experiencing their second dawn and ATMF is supporting this new era by releasing several good albums during 2008. For JANVS it seems that the word progressive is nothing less than the key essence of their doing and their second release “Vega” is a very interesting piece of music. […]
As some of you know, and others of you don’t, Isengard is not only the castle of Saruman but also an old project of Fenriz from Darkthrone. He did one demo in ’89, one something in ’91 and one chapter in ’93, as well as releasing one album in addition to “Vinterskugge”. “Chapter One – […]
This is a long overdue re-release of INTRUDER’s extremely hard to find mini-CD from 1990 (don’t ask me what ridiculous price I paid for that on ebay not too long ago, urgh…). The layout is pretty much the same as on the original release with the exception that the thanx-list got replaced by liner-notes from […]
As Schenk already reviewed the original version of this album in our review section a while ago I don’t see the need to repeat what already had been said before… Just a few additional facts: this re-release comes up with four bonus tracks (from the band’s “Promo 2000”) and a slightly changed layout. The original […]
No, unfortunately this ain’t a new album by San Francisco’s legendary Death / Thrashers INSANITY, but nevertheless a fine collection of their classic material. “From The Grave” features 15 songs that for some reason never really reached the same popularity as material of other bands from that era (DEATH, POSSESSED, DARK ANGEL, SACRIFICE, REPULSION etc.), […]
I was kinda surprised when I heard a while ago from guitarist / vocalist / INSANITY mainman that their debut album, which originally was issued on M.B.R. Records from Germany in 1993 (which was nothing else than a rip off deal), would be redone with new vocal parts (courtesy of Mr Dave Gorsuch) and would […]
What Sweden used to be in the late 80s / early 90s when it comes to brutal Death Metal, nowadays can be found in the Los Angeles, California area. And by this I certainly don’t mean that the US bands come up with the typical Swedish style of those glorious days, it’s just that all […]
Finally we no longer need lurk about eBay in hopes of securing a copy of IMPRECATION’S legendary best-of compilation. For far too long originally released in 1995 on Repulse Records, “Theurgia Goetia Summa” brims with atmosphere, mighty and ominous. A stark contrast to over-produced albums by fat cat labels, which we still put up with […]
The sound of a Polish Pagan Metal band released by No Colours Records shouldn’t be a big surprise for people following this kind of music for some time. But Iuvenes are not a new band, they already have a bunch of releases, including a split EP with the great LEVIATHAN (US), on the same label […]
