Boooooooooooooring… this time only one single word is enough to describe this CD: BORING!!! In my humble opinion this is one of the most superfluous releases ever… to be honest it’s more superfluous than pimples on my ass… Why? Well, because the musical quality is not worth mentioning and because all recordings on this re-re-release […]
This is DEVASTATION from Croatia and out of all DEVASTATION’s I’ve heard this is hands down the shittiest one. This release consists of 2 old demos (“The Upcoming Mayhem” and “The Possibility Of Life’s Destruction”) and a rehearsal, released between 1987 and 1989. The production is very primitive, it sounds as if recorded into a […]
To my shame I’ve never heard of DESTRUCTOR until now. After searching the internet to find some information about this release I found out that they were an integral part of the first wave of Thrash Metal in the 80s and their debut album “Maximum Destruction” from 1986 ranks as a classic US Thrash Metal […]
This great release was first made by the German Kneel Before The Master’s Throne label on 12″ vinyl exclusively, but sold out fast, so here’s an opportunity to score it again, for those who missed the train the first time and for DESTROYER 666 “completists” to have yet another version, which means even more items […]
This re-release of DESTROYER’s first album for Modern Invasion Records has been timed rather well considering the most positive plaudits heaped upon their current and third album “Phoenix Rising”. And Modern Invasion are sure as hell going to make the most of it. Thankfully they have made it even more worthwhile by adding six tracks […]
I usually like those demo / rehearsal / EP compilations including the entire discography of old and / or forgotten / underrated bands. And so I was quite excited when I heard that Roy from Necroharmonic was planning this DERKETA CD including an official rehearsal, the “The Unholy Ground” demo from 1990, the “Premature Burial” […]
Continuing where “Tortured Existence” left off, DEMOLITION HAMMER essentially wrote the same songs on “Epidemic Of Violence”, but with an added injection of velocity and vitriol. Whereas “Tortured Existence” had a chunkier production sound, “Epidemic Of Violence” has a much more polished sound, almost like a well greased power saw. Once again, the songs are […]
For any band to have written Thrash Metal of this caliber in 1990, as Death Metal was very nearly in full swing, is a startling achievement. DEMOLITION HAMMER are punishing, to say the least. This debut record of theirs easily schools a large percentage of the Thrash Metal of the time. It’s not terribly difficult […]
This masterpiece was already recorded in 1992 and in my humble opinion it’s one of most important European Death Metal albums of all times. DEMILICH played a very, very own and unique style and I can’t name any band with a similar sound. The main trademarks are the ultra deep (but still naturally sounding) voice […]
History lesson, folks! Today’s topic: Finnish Death Metal from the early nineties. Who can name a few bands? FUNEBRE! – Excellent, Jarne, though you still have to work on the pronunciation, sounds like a gay cowboy to me. Another one? XYSMA! – Once again absolutely correct. But let’s hear it for the others as well. […]
