Before this sophomore effort, DIABOLIC was already a leading force in the Death Metal movement, thanks to fantastic demo and a no less convincing first album. But now, this four piece from Florida could easily claim the crown of the kings of death, as “Subterraneal Magnitude” is a true masterpiece! The band surpassed themselves to […]
The camp of DIABOLIC is a confusing one, what happened to their “Subtarraneal Magnitude” album? There was this huge label bullshit and that album has not come out, well at least not on this side of the Atlantic. This just may be the bands forgotten album in their career never to be released, anyone who […]
Florida Death Metal legion DIABOLIC seem to have almost faced its own end when 50% of the last line up left to start UNHOLY GHOST and the band was forced to do the important tour across Europe with some sort of emergency-line up. In addition to that DIABOLIC’s third full-length “Vengeance Ascending” could not satisfy […]
Well my fave European extreme act is back again with a new 12 song offering. So do they live up to the strong expectations I had for this? Have they stayed true to their original songwriting / approach and haven’t sacrificed it on the altar of so called production, something that would pissed off journalists […]
Once singer Leif Jensen shouts “Go!” on opener ‘Acts Of Rage’, expect nothing but Thrash Metal fury, a no return type of trip. 11 tunes here filled with hate, anger, destructivity but most of all dexterity when it comes to write shredding / catchy riffs and that’s where once again this German band is just […]
I always admired DEW-SCENTED for their uncompromising underground attitude and endurance within nowadays rather trendy orientated Metal scene. But when I heard that the boys from right around the corner got picked up by Nuclear Blast, I gotta admit that I somehow became a little worried… What kind of changes lead to a deal with […]
You can easily forget about the two first offerings from this Polish four piece, because “Artefact” is truly a new departure for them. New label, new line-up (with main man Nowy still leading the troops) and a better mastering in the song writing department make DEVILYN a rejuvenated band, and “Artefact” an album of the […]
There must be something in the French water these days… after DEPRAVED, KRONOS, IMPERIAL SODOMY this is already the fourth band in a really short period of time that delivers a full-length of brutal grinding Death Metal in a very intense form. But unlike most of their countrymen DEVILIUM really seem to know what they’re […]
Avantgarde Black Metal, that’s how this Polish outfit calls their music and here they are presenting us their first official release called “Plurima Mortis Imago” released through the British label Conquer Records. When I first read “Avantgarde Black Metal” on the release information I immediately had to think of DIMMU BORGIR and after listening to […]
From German lands arrive DEVILISH, an almost unknown act to me, as I don’t have too much information from them, but it seems they recorded this album some years ago. Now the German label Eisenwald releases it as a digipak with really good artwork, on black with silver ink, as well as a small poster […]
