Originally Columbian, now US based Black Metal outfit INQUISITION has finally returned with a stunning new full-length after having us wait for fresh material three long years after 2007’s “Nefarious Dismal Orations”. Cumbersomely entitled “Ominous Doctrines Of The Perpetual Mystical Macrocosm”, fans of the band will immediately be caught on the hook by their trademark […]
The US Black Metal horde’s third album is – as one could already guess from the advance tracks on the “Unholy Inquisition Rites” MCD – another masterpiece, uniting ritualistic blasphemous atmosphere with crushing heaviness! Fast aggressive parts, dark and pretty infectious melodies and Dagon’s typical sinister vocals melt together into an absolutely unique interpretation of […]
In any case, this band from the USA is pure cult! How long have I waited for this one? After their grandiose “Into The Infernal Regions Of The Ancient Cult” album the new masterpiece is finally available. Ancient Black Metal hymns (no band sounds like them!), impressive yet straight drum work and guitar riffs and […]
Magdeburg’s INMOST DENSE is another fine example of the healthiness of the current brutal Death Metal underground in Germany these days. Their self financed debut album “Unfold” is the band’s follow up to 2002’s promo CD “The Consequences Of Choice And Dissonance” (a demo entitled “Purified” was their first musical sign of life in early […]
It’s a bit sad that this album featuring ex – ABAZAGORATH vocalist Nihilist was not released 10 years ago, since with the flood of melodic, atmospheric Black / Death Metal releases back then it could have competed easily, but recorded in 2002 and released just now in 2005 the US-based quintet sounds a little too […]
Most Black Metal bands since the mid-90s have adopted as their modus operandi to offer only the affect of rawness, of evil. Still others imitate SADISTIK EXEKUTION and call themselves Black / Thrash Metal, an utterly useless term unless applied to NIFELHEIM of course. INKISITOR is not quite so bad, but one would be hard […]
I’m not quite sure if the Death Metal maniacs around the globe were really awaiting a compilation album of Denmark’s INIQUITY, but as long as it’s of this high quality I couldn’t care less. Apart from eight wellknown tracks, from their regular releases (“Serenadium”, “The Hidden Lore”, “Five Across The Eyes” and “Grime”), there’s a […]
Except for a handful of bands, I wouldn’t really consider myself a big fan of the Danish underground scene. But at least INIQUITY has always been a helluva cool exception. These guys constantly had the guts to deliver first class, straight ahead brutal Death Metal (also in times when the mainstream listener already stopped to […]
Some things will never change and one of these basis facts is that our dear Dutch friends INHUME are a rotten bunch of Death / Grind fanatics. What started over a decade ago with a split EP with their German brothers BLOOD these days is completed with their latest creation “Moulding The Deformed”. And without […]
I feel like I am not the right person to review this, for the main reason I am not a fan of Grindcore in the first place, and INHUME just play a pure form of this genre. “In For The Kill” is the second full-length of this Dutch six-piece, and you can’t say they are […]
