On the original “Live Evil” CD edition from 1989 the song ‘War Pigs’ had to be omitted, because the whole double album didn’t fit on a single CD. So the “Deluxe Edition”, which got released in 2010, made perfect sense, as it came as a two disc version, featuring “Live Evil” in its full glory, […]
After 14 years since issuing out their only demo the French Death Metal quintet OLDSKULL has returned. The band consists of members of TRASHNASTY and NECROCULT and is having this latest 6 track EP released through Nihilistic Holocaust. I was not able to get a hold of their demo and therefore don’t have any background […]
SOULCARRION hail from Poland and play an uncompromising old school Death Metal. Right from the opening track, we’re greeted by a combination of low guitars and vocals that continue their majestic march throughout the album. Interestingly, I watched the 2016 documentary “Death By Metal” about DEATH last week and somehow SOULCARRION has carried the spirit […]
Poland is a land full of amazing Black Metal. Too many bands to name, but you know what I’m talking about. When you crank up a Polish Black Metal album, you usually know exactly what you’re going to get. Except for IFRYT and the new EP “Pluce”. This is just… bad. I mean… really bad. […]
Poland has a long list of excellent Metal bands. I remember how amazed I was when listening to some old Polish bands back in the day. And PROFECI doesn’t fall too far away from that excellency, offering a first rate collection of songs in “Ubóstwo”, their third album. Sure, there are some influences from countrymates […]
A look at the cover art and immediately I can sense that this is different. This Polish Black Metal duo formed in 2019 is now releasing their third album and whereas the first two are quite different from a normal Black Metal release, it is this one that truly represents a band that has already […]
More than 40 years of a career and still there: that’s the first thing that came to mind when I heard that US Metal legend VIRGIN STEELE has a new album out. The second thing was, that they haven’t released a really fine album in this whole millennium. Well, after looking it up, I realized […]
If you’re reading these pages regularly, you will have already found out that I’m fond of nearly all the releases French Les Acteurs De L’Ombre Productions put out over the last years. Thus I was very excited to listen to their latest offering, the first full-length album “Répugnance” from MIASMES after their EP “Vermines” last […]
No words of wisdom are able to detract from the new level of savagery from Oregon based Death Metal pulverizers TORTURE RACK. Their brand new savagery, entitled “Primeval Onslaught”, continues the legacy of old Death Metal brilliance with a feral intensity and immense morbid atmosphere that will have the most diehards in a state of […]
This is the third album from this hard thrashin’ trio from Kelowna in British Columbia, Canada. It might as well be that the band members are the biggest TESTAMENT fan club in Canada. That would at least explain, why they sound like they do. Erik Peterson and Alex Skolnick might be the main reference to […]
