Call it old school Death Metal with a loudly hearable, grooving BLACK SABBATH vibe on one side of the extremes as well as a dirty, filthy sounding hand full of Crust on the other edge of their sound. The remarkable opening riffs for ‘Rot Awaits’ or the first few seconds in ‘Torture Sacrifice’ are good […]
I remember… I remember this band! Somewhere I have their debut album. I remember it was some sort of Black / Thrash Metal assault. And that was more than 20 years ago. So for this band from Finland, formed in 1996, this is just their second album. Some line-up changes have happened over the years. […]
I remember back in the ’90s split releases were a more common thing than they are nowadays. It was a good way to listen to more music from different bands in one release. But nowadays, with the ease to get music, those split releases and compilations are becoming a more strange thing to find. The […]
Formed in Poland in 2021, this is the debut recording of this melodic Black Metal band, that has also some evil Death Metal touches, not that far away from their country-mates BEHEMOTH earlier works, although with more references to early Norwegian Black Metal and definitely Swedish Black Metal to make it more interesting. The band […]
Wait, what? What did I just hear? The sick brigade of PUSTILENCE hail from Brisbane, Australia and play unforgiving Australian’esque Death Metal that will simply melt your face away. Without even having to go further, you notice the incredibly powerful vocals hitting you like a sledgehammer, hammering across your mind for 45 minutes straight. Well, […]
VALGRIND hail from the Emilia-Romagna region in Italy. If you didn’t know, this region had major flooding and was in the news recently, terrible stuff!

VEXATION from Poland was formed back in the glory days of 1986. Initially they were known as AGRESSOR, but later went on as VEXATION. Although the band never went far and split-up rather quickly, they left a horrid mark by playing Death Grind on the prolific demo “Hommagea Aleph” in 1990 and the split “Death […]
Germany’s Black Metal newcomers PANZERKRIEG 666 have just cranked out their second self-financed EP roughly a year after their first self-titled EP (2022). The band consists of the duo HvS, who handles all the instruments and MvM, who handles the vocals. Formed in 2021 in the North Rhine area the band plays war themed Black […]
Czech Black Metal band PLAGUE GOD have released their first regular album “New Veins For Old Blood” featuring Armo (all instruments and vocals) and Dr. Fe (vocals) who has apparently passed (RIP). Not much info is found on this Black Metal band. But I will say the band photo on the main page of Metal […]
VONÜLFSRËICH’s previous album, “Ragnarök Rising”, was released in June 2022 and this one, their latest output, was released in December 2022. But it is not until now, May 2023, that the Polish label Fallen Temple has graced us with a CD version of “Miasmal Winds”. Now, seven months is not exactly a lot of time […]
