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 […]
GURD? What’s GURD, aah, it’s “Drug” backwards, very funny, GURD makes me think of the good old Frank Zander song “Hier kommt GURD”, haha. Ok, I know it was an awful joke, but let’s talk about the music. I’ll try my best to be kind with this CD, because years ago when I still listened […]
If it comes to Thrash Metal I’m like an old farmer which is rejecting everything new by preferring the originals instead of listening every week to a further retro band. GUILLOTINE is without a doubt one band which deserves the title cult act and I didn’t expect a new release after such a long time. […]
Not the GUILLOTINE that I know about from Sweden, no these maniacs are from Brazil and at least in my opinion (… and that’s all that really matters at the end of the day, doesn’t it?) they are much better than those aforementioned Swedes for three separate reasons. One, the Swedish GUILLOTINE are fake. They […]
Hell yes, this is fuckin’ cool stuff! Anyone into good old fashioned Death / Thrash on a high technical level? Then you better make sure to check out Colgne’s very own GUERRILLA. This extremely talented fourpiece delivers ten tracks of very well composed, arranged and produced material, with musical references to ANNIHILATOR, newer DEATH and […]
In the beginning there was darkness and the musical aim of combining the atmosphere of rusty horror stories by Poe and Lovecraft with simple but nevertheless effective Death Metal. THE GROTESQUERY is a further co-operation of workaholic Rogga Johansson (PAGANIZER, DEMIURG, EDGE OF SANITY, RIBSPREADER, PUTREVORE, SINNERS BURN, BONE GNAWER etc.) and his blood brother […]
Strange things are happenig from time to time, one can not explain why and how. I have seriously considered to contact FBI-agent Fox Moulder, known from the X-Files. “Listen to this album, there is something wrong.” But it is real life, so I have to think on myself and after some time I got the […]
