It’s cool to see that the South American scene is still alive and well when it comes to Death Metal. I’m not solely talking about the Brazil masters of extremity KRISIUN and REBAELLIUN or Peru’s underground legend MORTEM. Also Colombia-based INTERNAL SUFFERING have to offer a real slaughter piece in gory and ultra brutal grinding […]
The band was formed in 2003 in Australia and is now presenting their self released debut album. And it’s a good one. Intended Victim plays a mixture of melodic Death and Thrash Metal with progressive elements. Jamie Whyte and Martin Rice pull out nice riffs, filled with melodic leads and guitar duels as known from […]
Obscure and fast. These two words basically describe INSORCIST’s debut. Released by both, Apocalyptic Records and Blasphemy Art Records, this album has a little of everything. Members are well seasoned, talented individuals who managed to put on tape a nice raw, well-balanced production of amazing musicianship. The vocals, ranging from deep to mid-tone growling, are […]
This time it’s not “Metal Of Death” from Uppsala, nevertheless IN SOLITUDE are part of the current Metal movement surrounding such acts as KATALYSATOR (now INVIDIOUS), DEGIAL or GRAVELESS as members of INVIDIOUS are also playing in IN SOLITUDE. This band, however, has nothing to do with Death Metal at all; the musical direction is […]
This is it!! This is the ultimate Death Metal album in quite a while that everyone out there has to compete with from now on!!! These guys are fuckin’ amazing!! It’s already been quite a while since I’ve been awaiting a debut full-length from a band with a similar anticipation, but unlike many other stupid […]
There is something beautifully anachronistic about the Canadian Black Metal duo INSIDIOUS OMEN who present us their third official release after the “Upon This Throne Of Waste And Decay” album in ’06 and an EP in ’08: there is this rudimentary, uncompromisingly raw and cavernous, primitive feel of very, very old Black Metal that one […]
INSIDIOUS DISEASE is an “all star” band including members and ex-members from MORGOTH, DIMMU BORGIR, OLD MAN’S CHILD, NAPALM DEATH and MALEVOLENT CREATION to name a few. Oddly enough, this release has been labeled “Blackened Death Metal”. Personally, I think the “blackened” part is nowhere to be found. This is a solid Death Metal release, […]
I discovered this band purely by accident. It happened that on a No Colours Records sampler was featured one track of a band called SLAVES, which blew me away because of its genuine 80s Thrash atmosphere, very reminiscent of INFERNAL MAJESTY. My first investigation lead me to a dead end, until a review of the […]
Even though the band’s name immediately brings one of the classic SARCOFAGO albums to mind, these five Dutch Death Metal maniacs are not necessarily following the musical path of Wagner Antichrist and his unholy cohorts. INRI, who originally started out as STIGMATHEIST in 1994 (their one and only album “It All Ends Today” came out […]
Does anyone still remember LOST SOULS from Sweden? These guys released two albums a couple of years ago, one on Roadrunner and another on Nuclear Blast before they decided to call it quits in 2000. Well, I definitely never checked them out, but the label’s info sheet reveals that all of the INRAGE members used […]
