The potential of the German underground especially within the Pagan Metal scene is currently more than strong and nearly every month a newcomer is surfacing with an album good enough to show even the well established bands that Odin’s descendants can be found behind nearly every German tree. FINSTERFORST released their debut in 2007 via […]
Well, it seems like there have to be more than a few invited guests to make a descent album. No matter the addition of such humans as Attlia Csihar, RMS Hreimdarr or Morfeus, the music remains the same. This is simply boring Black Metal, trying to be symphonic or something. In the end this is […]
While permanently striving for originality some bands are quite obviously crossing the border of ridiculousness. And you know what? Finnish FINTROLL is one of them. This six piece from Helsinki is musically nothing but a mainstream orientated Black / Viking ( / Troll?!) Metal act, meaning you get the typical raw / screamy type vocal […]
Totally superfluuos melodic yet aggressive Death Metal performed with technical skil, vocals varying between growls and screams and the typical Finnish feeling, really not bad, but certainly something that will drown in the mainstream and earns nothing but despise within the underground. It’s nice, it does not scandalise, it is not very brutal, it is […]
Whatever I write about this album won’t really do it any justice, because bands of this genre already started to bore me to death several years ago. So, all I can tell you here is that THE FIFTH SUN is a melodic Death Metal act from Northern Minnesota, USA which certainly knows to handle their […]
The Swedish Metal scene will hopefully never lose the ability to offer fresh and hungry newcomers year after year. This time only the band name justifies the terminus new because all members of THE FEW AGAINST MANY are well known musicians and their former bands SCAR SYMMETRY, TORCHBEARER or SATARIEL have for sure influenced the […]
It should be pretty obvious to everyone reading this, that a band with the moniker FETUS CHRIST not necessarily plays the nicest music around. And when the members furthermore call themselves “Eddi Guts”, “I-Gore The Butcher”, “Hairless Johnson”, “Fat Fruitpie” and “Skinny Leg Fag” it is quite clear that they don’t take themselves too serious […]
The debut of northern German FETOCIDE is also the first release on the new label Obscure Domain Productions run by Hacker and Sönke from Unholy Terror and Endzeit Zine. Besides coming up with selling points you can’t argue with (hehe), one is provided with a piece of interesting modern Death MetaI. Having improved vastly from […]
Already recorded in 2004, but due to the inability of the former label the release got more and more delayed, therefore FESTERING SALIVA decided to part ways and search for a new label. So fortunately Bad Land Records are now publishing the second full-length album by the Munich based Death Metal outfit. It would really […]
FEAR OF ETERNITY plays slow romantic ultra sweet Black Metal drenched with lots of moody keyboard tinkling. Actually not all melodies are bad, some remind me of the lighter, more uplifting compositions of Angelo Badalamenti. Some guitar can be heard faintly in the background, the vocals are the usual Black Metal snarl. According to the […]
