If you’re following the happenings within the Death Metal underground pretty carefully (which I am sure you do, otherwise you wouldn’t read this now), you will most certainly already be aware of the fact that Holland’s SINISTER have called the quits again. But vocalist Rachel Kloosterwaard and guitarist Ron van de Polder, who teamed up […]
Just like Denmark’s THORIUM these four (to me) previously unknown UK monsters seem to worship the one and only DEICIDE quite immensely. But I couldn’t care less, cause their fourteen track debut “Mass Immolation” is not only a lot more intense than THORIUM’s “Ocean Of Blasphemy”, it’s even far more brutal than the originators of […]
Underground veterans INFERNO from the Czech Republic haunt us with the, let’s say 25th release. Besides the band’s countless split-releases, a handful of EPs, 2 demos and some live-outputs, “Uctivani Temne Zurivosti” is the 4th full-length album. I do not know all of INFERNO’s operas, but the ones I know, I have enjoyed. And, “Uctivani […]
INFERNAL REVULSION are a Death Metal band hailing from Japan who have only released a self-financed single before this, their debut full-length for Goregiastic Records. These guys, like their fellow countryman VOMIT REMNANTS and INFECTED MALIGNITY, play US-styled Death Metal in the vein of SUFFOCATION, PYREXIA, DYING FETUS (early) etc… The first track on the […]
I’ve followed this Canadian act since their inception back in 1986 and have been one of the few that did enjoy their second album “Unholier Than Thou” from 1998 – and in all honesty a lot more than their overpraised debut. As a lot of you know it, INFERNÄL MÄJESTY have started as a Thrash […]
Whereas most US Death Metal bands tend to go for the blasting, utterly brutal direction INFERNAL LEGION’s second album (their debut on Moribund, “Angelicide” was self released in 2001) represents a fascinating and absolutely convincing counterpoint. Blending older MORBID ANGEL (“Blessed Are The Sick”, “Covenant” phase) with an individual sense of melodics, moods and diverse […]
The nucleus of the Chicago based five piece INFECTING THE SOUL already got together in the summer of 1992, but it obviously took them quite a while to finally complete their ranks as this 3-song demo from 2003 seems to be their first musical sign of life ever since. But anyway, it certainly is a […]
After having read Ulrich’s already not too flattering review on “Kings Of Misery” it was pretty obvious to me that Finnland’s INCRIMINATED had become even worse on their newest full-length! This is actually by far the biggest piece of shit I’ve heard in a long time! From the stupid, rather psychotically painted coverart, to the […]
Finnish INCRIMINATED finally come up with their second full-length album after numerous split releases (the band keeps releasing their stuff since 1998). As I own the split with BLOODHAMMER I was really looking forward to this one. On the split, INCRIMINATED played a very raw and sick old school Black / Death style influenced by […]
There is little that needs to be said about this release… writing about INCANTATION recordings from this time period seems unnecessary since anyone who cares about Death Metal likely already appreciates the importance of a release such as “Blasphemous Cremation”. There are so few bands that have ever even come close to rivaling the darkness […]
