“No fruity keyboards, no emo or fake guttural vocals, no triggered drumming, no lame sub-par AT THE GATES wannabe riffs, no association with the word ‘core’ or a band name that is a sentence long and no cramming 5,000 riffs with political-themed lyrics.” That is the way these Californian deathmongers reveal. It is a direct […]
The album title was downsized a bit and printed in an old white font, instead of the big orange letters that got used on the original release. The logo is in white now (the original was orange as well) and moved from top left to top right. The entire artwork was enlarged to fit the […]
Grooahhyeahh. Shit, these guys come with a huge broom and wipe the dust from my poor little ears which many booooooring Death Metal acts left there during the past two years. Originally released in 2003 by Gabriel Editions only in France Listenable remastered “The Link” and brought it to the European market. If I had […]
How to start a review for a release like this? To be honest I should say that when talking about a classic, and that’s what I consider “The Winterlong”, everything should be said, but, damn, that’s not the case for GOD MACABRE. They had and still have a huge name in the underground, but I […]
I am not really sure whether “Rising Hatred” (initially released in 2006 by Pathos Records in 2000 copies) is hard to obtain nowadays but in any case, Moribund Cult decided to re-release GODLESS RISING’s great debut album including two brand new bonus tracks. To be honest, I didn’t have the chance to check this release […]
“Abysmal Grief” was already released a few times before (on tape, 7″ EP and MCD if I’m correct informed), now in 2009 Blood Harvest Records released it on 10″. So what makes GODDEFIED and this 10″EP in general that special to get honoured with another re-release? It’s clearly not the bands originality as this is […]
It was about time that someone decided to re-issue GOATLORD’s cult debut album “Reflections Of The Solstice”- initially released back in 1991. Although they have released only two full-length albums the band is nowadays considered responsible for what is characterized as “Doom / Death”, a style that for some reason never managed to become widely […]
This is the re-release of the only record ever recorded by this group featuring members of underground luminaries such as WEAKLING or AMBER ASYLUM. If you’re familiar with those acts you already know what to expect: misery deluxe. “Even As All Before Us” contains 6 (very long) journeys into the realm of depression, sadness and […]
GAMMACIDE strikes back after many years of being buried and forgotten by the underground media. Even, back in the day when they released their sophomore “Victims Of Science” it kind of drifted into obscurity for a simple reason: the early 90s Death Metal boom. The funny thing is that now that they have regrouped they […]
Yes, there are faster bands than the French sickos GURKKHAS (ex-D.A.B.), but not too many of them can come up with this frightening fierceness. GURKKHAS were some sort of elite troops in WW2 but the music isn’t “just” acoustical warfare, in my mind it immediately creates an image of a beast jumping at me and […]
