I know there’s a band by the same name in Sweden, but let me tell you forget ’em!! Only ENFORCER from Chile is real and rules! This is not the so-called “Thrash” that some record labels are trying to force on us. I don’t buy it! And unlike the wimpy Power Metal-posing-as-Thrash of their Swedish […]
“We Have Seen The Enemy… And The Enemy Is Us” is the debut album of another young Swedish act named (yeah right, you probably guessed it already)… ENEMY IS US. The band features ex-DARKANE vocalist Lawrence Macrory (who surprisingly handles the bass here!) and even though their coverart looks a lot more like Grind- or […]
The German underground has its own rules and a band like ENDSTILLE has for sure “earned” their special position within the scene. If they really want to be part of the scene by following the true rules depends on the perspective but to mark the band as a simple MARDUK clone (musically & image wise) […]
Huhu, this is old school stuff. Actually it is ooooooooooooooollllllllldddddd schooooooool stuff. Really old school. Seriously, I haven’t listened to a recording like this since ages. Glorious DISEMBOWELMENT times come to my mind while listening to this album. And THERGOTHON which were even slower. ENCOFFINATION – great sounding name by the way – features 2 […]
Whatever I will write about this twelve track release certainly won’t do the band completely justice. It simply ain’t a style of music that I embrace too much. EM SINFONIA come up with female lead vocals, (in the vein of THE GATHERING / LACUNA COIL), mixed with a deep grunting male voice and an overall […]
After hunting down exactly which EMPTINESS this certain band was, as there are at least six that I have heard about in recent times (one from Brazil, one from Poland, one from Venezuela, one from Romania, one from Greece, and the one of whom we talk about this moment from Belgium), I have to say […]
EMPEROR’s farewell album (at least for me) turned into a huge disappointment. And the reason is plain and simple – I can’t consider it as a real band effort with all necessary EMPEROR trademarks! The musical abilities and production is absolutely out of the question here – it’s the songwriting in general, which is simply […]
I don’t know why this record gets advertised as the continuation of BEHERIT’s “Messe Des Mortes” as I am not able to find ANY resemblances. Instead this German trio delivers nordic influenced Black Metal at a raging speed which makes it compareable to DARK FUNERAL perhaps. Some riffs have a slightly chaotic character but the […]
Even if I write for Voices, I actually read this webzine first and foremost as a fan, constantly seeking for new acts of interest. Frank’s review regarding EMETH’s first full-length captured my interest, and it took no time for me ordering the new album of this Belgian band, “Reticulated”. Well, I could have simply cut […]
I discovered these guys through the excellent “Face Your Underground” compilation series from our dedicated fellows at www.DeathMetal.be… EMETH were featured on Vol.2 with the track ‘Catatonic Entanglement’, which made me pretty curious already, so I contacted them for some more material right away. Even though the band is already active since late 1997, it […]
