DISAVOWED, formerly known as NOCTURNAL SILENCE from Holland are playing the really extreme Death Metal style, ‘frog noise’ just like DISGORGE and Co. The band does a great job, especially their drummer Robbe V (also member of PYAEMIA) is absolutely unbelievable! Just listen to the opening track ‘Rhizome’ or watch the cool video on here! […]
Italy’s Scarlet Records is quite active these days in promoting local bands that play modern Thrash Metal similar to their Scandinavian colleagues. Disarmonia Mundi fit into that roster so here we go: these three Italians deliver the goods as flawless as their countrymen NODE or any other Scandinavian-styled Thrash band. Some singalong-parts are included as […]
The sixth proper full-length from Norway’s most controversial Black Metal success story sees the band plugging away at their craft, not unleashing any left-field surprises this time around, but rather honing and tempering the modern symphonic songcraft that has been their bread and butter. Dimmu Borgir is a smart group. They realize that there is […]
Let’s face it. They know how to write and play their brand of extreme Metal. Dimmu Borgir have never been a favourite band of mine, nor will they be after “Death Cult Armageddon”. However, this album, which will be released in early September, could easily turn into one of my top ten albums, especially when […]
Being a fan of DIMMU BORGIR since their majestic 1997 release “Enthroned Darkness Triumphant” everything so far has been great. Here are some quick facts about this new slab of black: Nagash on bass is no more, replacement is Vortex of ex-BORKNAGAR, Astennu on guitar is gone, replacement Galder of OLD MANS CHILD takes the […]
Three ex – RIPPING CORPSE members resurfaces (long later after Erik Rutan by the way) in that combo and I’m forced to say that there’s not much in common with that old underground band. Now some people might object that I’m not the right person to review Death Metal albums because most of the time […]
What originally was only intended to be a solo project by LIMBONIC ART’s Morfeus has turned into a full time band now as Limbonic Art unfortunately is no more. So, the most important questions obviously are: will DIMENSION F3H still satisfy the needs of all the remaining LIMBONIC ART fans? Will this band be able […]
I’m really wondering why this album was released under the banner of DIES IRAE instead of VADER, because the material on their debut album “Immolated” sounds exactly like some remains of the last VADER studio session while recording “Litany”!? Especially the recipe of success from “Xeper”, the most outstanding and fastest track on “Litany”, seemingly […]
There you go again. Swedish DIABOLICAL already gained some attention in the underground with their “Deserts Of Desolation” debut, that (according to a label info) sold 3.500 copies world-wide, which is certainly not bad for a mini album. Their bandname on the other hand obviously wasn’t the most clever idea if you take into consideration […]
This is the fifth full-length by this blasphemous quartet already (when I don’t count their “Chaos In Hell / Possessed By Death” EP compilation). Especially this last one had my hopes for this one really high. Their floridan Death Metal took an even more extreme direction and on “Excisions Of Exorcisms” it’s a mix of […]
