Even though I checked out quite a lot of obscure vinyl back in the 80s, there’s still several bands that I never ever heard of. That also goes for Italy’s 3 piece FINGERNAILS, who got together in late 1981 and released their one and only self-titled 8 song debut full-length in 1988 via Cobra Records. […]
Here’s another excellent collection of classic 90s Death / Thrash Metal material, compiled by Necroharmonic Productions for the listening pleasure of all you historical interested extreme Metalheads… This time Detroit’s FATAL was chosen in order to immortalize their three demos and EP onto a single CD. The recording quality of the 17 featured tracks is […]
In 1994 FUNERUS startet out as a project of Jill McEntee (bass, and yes, the nowadays wife of INCANTATION’s John) and Brad Heiple (guitar / vocals) to summon the ancient Death Metal spirit of acts like GRAVE, NIHILIST and all the other Swedish underground legends of the early 90s. After recording a rehearsal demo entitled […]
After a demo in 2005 and the debut-album in 2006, FUNERARIUM from Luxembourg (not to be mixed up with the French ones) presents its 2nd full-length album “Nocthule”. De Rais and Necroshadow, the people behind this monicker, offer the typical raw underground Black Metal. Although I have to admit that “Nocthule” has its good approaches, […]
Luxembourg’s Black Metallers FUNERARIUM originally started out back in the year 2000 as UTHER PENDRAGON. In their early days the line-up only consisted of two members: M.S. (drum machine) und DeRais (on bass and guitar). Their debut (instrumental) demo “Songs Of Battle” was released about a year later. A second demo was supposed to be […]
FUNERAL RITES are no newcomers to the scene anymore, cause their origin already dates back to 1994. Ever since they managed to unleash three demo tapes (“Demo I” – 1995, “The Wintermoon” – 1996 and “Weird Tales” – 1997) and in 2000 finally finished the recordings of their debut album “Necroeater”, which recently got picked […]
I’ve always failed to give Germany’s FUNERAL PROCESSION a decent listen in the past (blame it on too many releases that we get here within a way too short period of time), so I finally had to set things straight with their self-titled debut full-length album now. No matter if I missed out on anything […]
In the beginning was the word and the word was with god – a god which is for sure in a very weird way the main motivation for this Swedish Black Metal extremists. “Maranatha” is the second FUNERAL MIST opus and the sole member Arioch – alias Mortuus (yes the MARDUK one) – has worked […]
The original version of “Devilry” was released back in 1998 by the small label Shadow Records and has been sold out for a long time. So the re-release of this excellent, high quality stuff totally makes sense. This Swedish commando delivers nothing but total raging, christ slashing, blasphemous Black Metal here with utter insanity. “Devilry” […]
It’s getting quite exotic now – FUNERAL INCEPTION are hailing from Indonesia and previously used to be active under the BLOODY GORE moniker ever since 1996. During their years of existence they unleashed a promo tape entitled “Stench Of Your Perversions”, which first of all was re-released as a 7″ EP (in 1999) and two […]
