This could have been a really good one, if there wasn’t the disappointing vocalist – musically well-performed and well-produced melodic Death / Thrash, an extremely professional layout and with 16 tracks in over 60 minutes definitely value for money! But the vocals ruin the overall good impression ETERNAL PAIN otherwise leave behind. It might be […]
Well, what a weird thought… I was given the debut CD “Kindless” of Israelian Death Metal fiends ETERNAL GRAY. I was also given a brief information sheet providing a few insights in the band’s background, motives, characteristics. Actually I have a slightly ambivalent feeling toward bandinfos, for I have already had too paradoxical experiences with […]
Dear Elisa of Aural-Music’s promotion department, thank you so much for sending me the promo-CD of that funky little ‘Circus-Metal’ hopefuls called ETERNAL DEFORMITY. Pretty brilliant band-concept, you know, all that circus-imagery, using pseudonyms such as Juggler, Illusionist and so forth. Oh boy, nothing screams ‘METAL’ like these merry-go-round and ‘Hereinspaziert…’- samples. Really refreshing to […]
Sometimes, things go way deeper than what they seem to be. Never let appearances and names to fool you. On first sight a band with the name ETERNAL and the tag brutal Death Metal was more than a proven recipe for disaster. For chaos. For a damn bad album. That’s what I thought. Without even […]
What a roster Ibex Moon has these days, eh? I remember when this label was just a passing thought, and idea of John’s, something he was gonna do y’know.eventually. Time passes and now several of his company’s titles have made it across my desk and look how far he’s come with this idea! Amazing! Here […]
Well, real insiders might have already recognised that this label isn’t only referring to a song by INCANTATION with its name, it actually IS the label of the blasphemous Deathers’ mastermind John McEntee. Besides the FUNERUS album (which will be reissued with a cool Moyen cover soon) Cincinatti’s ESTUARY are one of their recording artists […]
Dear Olivier. Allow me this kind of familiarity, despite the fact we don’t know each other. In theory, this should have been a review of your latest effort, “Crises De Lucidité”. To tell you the crudest of truth, I thought your band/project EROS NECROPSIQUE was history in 2003. I have never heard a single note […]
I’m not 100% sure if it is a great choice to title your album “… Metal”, nevertheless I have to admit that the prefix “Goatworshipping” sounds really cool to me, therefore let’s agree to consider “Goatworshipping Metal” as a great album title, haha. Without any doubt great and outstanding is the coverartwork done by infamous […]
This promo-recording sounds pretty cold, although this band is from hot Spain. Strange, very strange, haha. What we have here are ERED from Barcelona, who convince with their brand of Scandinavian sounding (call it more or less) melodic Black Metal. Before this new promo they already released a couple of demos and in 2005 their […]
I Hate Records is definitely one of the leading purveyors of the Doom Metal genre in Europe nowadays and with EREB ALTOR they have taken their mastery to new levels of brilliance. This Sweden-based duo EREB ALTOR apparently has been together since early 90s but it wasn’t until 2003 when they recorded their very first […]
