1999 marked the year of birth for FUNERAL FOG, two Black Metal heads dedicated to summon the old spirit of northern Black Metal à la DARKTHRONE, IMMORTAL. Now the two sinister creatures come up with their debut “Under The Black Veil” and well I have to say that it is a kind of fifty-fifty release: […]
FUNERAL FEAST play pretty modern American sounding Death Metal. Definitely fast with a good portion of slammy groove. The direction is DEEDS OF FLESH, DYING FETUS plus some CORPSE, of course. Roughly. Absolutely nothing new, even the song titles are very cliché: ‘Parasite’, ‘Off With Their Heads’, ‘The Last Bloodshed’, etc. The band seems to […]
The black death has killed millions of people over the centuries and the New Jersey based FUNEBRARUM have released the perfect soundtrack to this middle age burden with “The Sleep Of Morbid Dreams”. I’m for sure not the only one who did not expect a further album from them due to the long delay in […]
Do you like it dark, brutal and fucking old school? Yeah, well then get this fantastic MCD by US Deathers FUNEBRARUM who are (as the name might suggests) heavily inspired by the old Finnish Death Metal legends FUNEBRE or DEMIGOD. Beside these Scandinavian influences one can recognize slight doses of sick and sinister American acts […]
This is the newest release from the Canadian trio from Ottawa. Like their last record “Stigmata High-Five” it contains a mixture of all kinds of extreme Metal or let’s say – core styles, like Grind-, Metal, Death, Post and Mathcore. The songs toddle between classic Grindcore and Hardcore mosh parts, interrupted by more atmospheric parts […]
Do you know any cocktails from Canada? Me neither, although this band sounds like one. The newest Relapse signing has been around since the late 90s and obviously crossed a lot of records in that time, mainly from Death Metal, Grindcore and Hard-and Mathcore. THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, CONVERGE and CEPHALIC CARNAGE were probably the […]
The name of the band almost prepares one for what is to be contained within. An icy piece of melodic Black / Death Metal from Finland. This, being their third album of this four piece band. The awful cover art that goes along is not actually matching what the band is capable of. First, they […]
Excellent slashing Gore Grind / Death that blends old school influences with modern brutal Death elements offer FRIGHTMARE from the USA. Their debut full-length contains ten diversified, sick and bloodthirsty tunes that mix the groove and morbid feeling of IMPETIGO, PUNGENT STENCH and spice up the traditional influences with a couple of “oink oink” vocals […]
For at least 10 years there is a running contest within the German Death Metal scene of the band with the strongest bounds to the homeland of this style. And for years my dear friends from FLESHCRAWL have hold this “Swedish / German Death Metal” title undoubtedly in their hands. But time goes by and […]
Pew, I am deeply impressed by these young German hopefuls. I got very curious about this release when I got attracted by their professional printed and layouted flyer and especially when I became aware of their local origin. And the final product totally blew me away! While you read these lines please have always in […]
