The latest update out of the HELLSAW camp is a new contract with Napalm Records and the recording session of their third album “Cold”. So what can we expect from an Austrian Black Metal band under the wings of the once so blackened major label. For sure not another napalmed edition of ENTHRONED – the […]
Having never payed a special attention to them and having Bruce from EMBALMED listening to one of HELL MILITIA’s CDs as one of the only 4 CDs he’ll listen to ever (true story) I was curious as to the greatness of these guys. So we go on to the disc at hand and we get […]
Death himself is sending his warm invitation to every true Metal soul and really nobody should ignore this ‘hellish’ hour of Death / Thrash otherwise his Metal soul will definitely burn in hell. What an album and what a fantastic and breathtaking opener in form of the killer track ‘Night Of The Possessed’ – while […]
I would not dare to say that German Thrash Metal celebrates a reincarnation, but the underground spawns out some great hordes every now and then (if we are just thinking about the WITCHBURNER General or the Master NOCTURNAL eclipse). HELLISH CROSSIFRE are maniacal and skilled enough to rank into the current five best Thrash Metal […]
Well, I’ll try to keep it short on this one: Polish HELLCULT’s first demo CDR contains 6 primitive old school Black Metal songs plus an intro and should satisfy anyone who is deepily interested in the typical DARKTHRONE or ARMAGEDDA-style. Let’s do not talk about originality on this CD, HELLCULT do not give a shit […]
HELLBRINGER are yet another black-tinged Thrash act in the vein of CRUEL FORCE and DEATHAMMER. It seems these kind of VENOM influenced retro-Thrash acts have been popping up everywhere for the last couple years. As I hit play on their self titled album and heard the introductory evil laughter, I was hoping for something as […]
HELL-BORN is a side project of Les and Ravenlock from DAMNATION, and this CD comes as a real surprise, because five long years have passed since the band’s first offering, a five track MCD on Pagan Records. HELL-BORN could be seen as a tribute to the ancient Death / Black gods of the past, with […]
There aren’t many bands who scream forth their blasphemies very convincingly these days. Naturally there are always a few, but they’re few and far between in comparison to the… others. HELLACAUST are not one of those others. “Inevitable Dementia” is a vengeful record somewhat like, but not akin to: DESASTER, URN, and other bands with […]
I’ve listened to that HELHEIM album over and over again and it’s one of those albums that have a very tough beginning, but grow after each listening. A creative piece of Metal art that needs full dedication and if you label the Finish reindeer and humpa-humpa bands FINNTROLL, TURISAS or ENSIFERUM Viking Metal then HELHEIM […]
The Trollzorn family is unleashing again their ‘deadliest’ weapon and everybody – including myself – who has foreseen a bright future for the Germany based band HELFAHRT will not be disappointed. These days only a few German bands are worth to be connected to cult acts like NAGELFAR or LUNAR AURORA but with the follow […]
