Cover artworks should be the gate to the musical word of the specific band and in case of the third FOLKEARTH release it’s the perfect introduction to their mystic Pagan Metal. The whole booklet is like a small gallery full of impressing pictures and really a dedicated piece of art. Coming back to the music […]
And the quest goes on – the wellknown FOLKEARTH had been very productive within the last months and their sixth release “Fatherland” is the third full release during only one year. I was not completely sure if the multi national band could bring their battle ship back on track after the disappointing acoustic album “Songs […]
And here they are again, the multinational Pagan Metal band FOLKEARTH. After their ‘highly’ acclaimed last release “Father Of Victory” they are now concentrating on the pure essence of their songs and recorded some of their songs in acoustic versions. What bands like BORKNAGAR had been cultivation over the years is for sure also an […]
If somebody still needs a proof that Metal has no limits and can overcome all geographic boundaries here is the perfect example. FOLKEARTH are consisting of 20 musicians from all over the world and with “Father Of Victory” they present their fourth album. The band wasn’t completely unknown to me (thanks to the last Metal […]
Reading the bandname FOETICIDE you might guess that this Mexican outfit is another Death Metal band in the gory and blasting Death Metal style many US Death Metal bands offer us today. No, you are wrong, that’s not the case as FOETICIDE offer us pretty tight and melodic Death Metal with hints of old DARK […]
Black Metal is music without compromises and doubtless far away from any kind of trend (about this point there is nowadays plenty room for discussion). If you search for a band which created their music based on these basic facts the Dutch combo FLUISTERWOUD and their final release “Laat Alle Hoop Varen” is more than […]
Like many others I lost track with FLOTSAM over the years: except for “High” they didn’t exactly blow me away lately. To keep a long story short: with “Dreams Of Death” they’re back on my list. The opening track (after the intro) ‘Straight To Hell’ starts out with some pretty fast double bass and track […]
The label info describes them as a “wellknown US Death Metal act with a big fanbase…”, so have I once again missed out on another important new name to the scene so far maybe?! Honestly spoken, with a bandname like this and a logo which doesn’t really convinces me either, I would probably never have […]
The fourth release by the Belgian Death Metal outfit FLESHMOULD belongs to those outputs that are dispensable, except you consider yourself a Death Metal lunatic who collects all and everything within this genre. Musically tending more to the American Death Metal style, FLESHMOULD perform their songs technically well done and the production is on an […]
Where this band is coming from with their songwriting is a creative place. The problem is execution; it just isn’t the best. However, as I’ve said, the songwriting is top notch, and is probably capable of eclipsing the poor tones. FLESH MADE SIN appear to draw inspiration from three chief sources: DEATH, IMMOLATION and INFERNAL […]
